We could not recommend Emily's Catering Group more! Our wedding was August 25, 2018 at South Farms in Morris, CT. People say the food at your wedding is one of the most important and memorial parts of your day and it's true! People are still raving about the food they had at our wedding till this day and the fantastic service by the ECG's team! From the very first point of contact Rick and his team were extremely attentive. Cheryl would answer our emails within 24 hours (which for a bride planning a wedding is SO impressive!) The tasting we had was intimate and Rick walked us through the process of what our guests experience would be like the day of our wedding. The passed hors d'oeuvres were never ending during cocktail hour-- our guests we're SO impressed and FULL of delicious tasting food they were wondering how they would be able to eat during dinner. Rick and his team brought my charcuterie table dreams come to life! There was specific staff members from the ECG's team that were in charge of basically following us around during our event to make sure we had all the food we ever wanted and a drink was always full in our hands. It was so refreshing to feel so well taken care of on our special day. We are so happy we chose Emily's Catering Group for our wedding day and we continue to use them to cater all of our events. They are the best of the best!

Awarded Best of Zola
Okay, so let me start by saying I never write reviews. This is probably the first one I’ve ever written, but I just had to because Italiana Foods honestly deserves it. I got married on August 30th in Southampton with about 250 guests. I was born and raised in Queens, and my husband’s family is from Italy , half from the North and half from the South so you can imagine the pressure I felt finding a catering that would impress everyone, especially my new Italian family! One of my coworkers told me about Italiana Foods after she tried their food at another wedding, saying it was “something totally different from anything you’ll find around here.” So I reached out about 8 months before our date, and from the very first call, Lucia was so sweet, friendly, and professional. She explained everything clearly and helped me build the perfect menu that balanced both families’ tastes. We did tastings with 5 different caterers in the area, and honestly… once we tried Italiana Foods, we knew. My coworker was right the food was on another level. Fast forward to the wedding day  I was a nervous wreck, literally having a mini meltdown because I wanted everything perfect. Lucia called me the day before and gently told me to just enjoy my day and stop worrying because she’d be there personally to make sure everything went smoothly. And she was 100% right. The day was pure magic. The food was incredible fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Both my family and my husband’s family were blown away (especially his relatives from Italy, which says a lot!). Everywhere I looked, people were smiling, eating, and truly enjoying themselves. To the whole Italiana Foods team the 10 amazing waiters, the bartenders, and lucia herself thank you from the bottom of my heart for making our wedding day unforgettable. I’ll absolutely be calling you again for any future events. From my family to yours grazie!

Sad that Next Door (their brick & mortar restaurant) is closed, but so happy that people can still enjoy their lovely food. Thank you, BGT! Photo credit: Ken Yotsukura

Old World Pizza Truck 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Hartford, CT

We started Old World Pizza Truck with our beloved old '42 Chevy, built and designed with a passion for entertaining and food in mind. Our fleet consists of four international diesel trucks, ready to serve both local and long range parties all across Connecticut, parts of New York, and Massachusetts. All trucks have basically the same equipment including powerful sound systems for those of you that like music at your affairs. They all are self sufficient with onboard generators, coolers, freezers and running water. No matter which truck is sent, the total experience is the same- great food, great music, lots of fun and unsurpassed service!

The amount of compliments I have received on the food at my wedding is too many to count! My only complaint is that I didn’t get to try more pizzas! We booked Old World Pizza Truck for dinner service and cocktail hour charcuterie and boy did they deliver. Even the skeptics (“pizza at your wedding?!”) came back to tell us what a phenomenal and unique meal it was. To quote one of my guests, “That pizza truck was genius. Did I tell you that the dessert pizza with peanut butter, jelly and bacon made my list of best things I’ve ever eaten that sounds completely disgusting?” Would book 10x over. Better than a 150 mediocre plated dinner by a mile.

John passion is to serve the most flavorful and gourmet barbecue possible. His vast barbecue menu and ability to adapt to his client needs is unsurpassed. Tailgate Gourmet Catering remains one of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire’s leading caterers, applauded for both its gracious service and mouthwatering take on barbecue.

Tailgate Gourmet was wonderful from the first exchanged email, to the last plate was cleared! The owner, John, and his team truly exceeded all expectations. They are informative, educated, and friendly. John's experience reflects in his dish pairings and suggests for scheduling, and his staffs' skillfulness reflected in their work and presentation. The lead crew member on site as our wedding, Julie, was incredible, scanning the crowd for me to bring by husband and I snacks directly amidst formal photos and mingling. The tasting was well thought out and professional. The menu selections are vast and customizable to your needs, while also being reasonably priced. The option to have our menu cooked to order on charcoal grills right beside our tent in live-action was superior; there were no soggy reheated trays of food, the meat timings were perfect, no limitations due to not having cooking equipment as with some catering. Our guests are still raving over the food, and I think about placing a smaller-scale order at least once a month! Many couples say they didn't get to eat their dinner as they were too busy - we MADE SURE we ate our whole plates full. Just thinking back on our prime rib, mac and cheese, bacon-wrapped scallops - I'm starving for more! If you want a catering company that doesn't blow smoke, feels like an extension of your wedding immediately upon meeting, is mindful of allergies and ingredients, with enthusiasm and pride in their team, don't shop around, just do it!
