Need Advice Good restaurants that cater

Looking for a good (Tuskies quality) restaurant that will cater for an event for about 20 people. Italian food preferred but all options considered. Thanks!

 

Definitely check out Forno- Enzo is the chef of D'Acqua fame and owner of Forno, and can cater a fancy feast or a casual affair! Tell him I sent you- Renee, Aphioni- he knows me by all of my names... lol

Owned by a local. Yummy, yummy food.

Did I mention yummy?

 

thanks, i actually have tried forno several times now and have not been impressed with the food quality. i have never heard of pie tanza, will check it out. i was actually thinking scotto's for catering might be good. we ordered from there for dinner last week and the food was excellent!!!!!

 

We have used the following and have been pleased:

...in '08 we held a private party and were very pleased with Clyde's level of service and the value as well.

But our absolute favorite was Lydia @ Everything and the Dog (I know kind of weird we used our Dog walking company, but they are more of a concierge/personal chef company).

Lydia's hubby came to our home, created a menu for me and was VERY professional with a wait staff (to include a bartender). LOVE LOVE LOVE them

Here is their website - go to the party hosting tab.

Love pie-tanza!!! She does a great job catering also!

 

Have you tried Chef Shane? Not sure what food he specializes in but the owner is a Broadlands resident. My understanding is he is opening up in the Broadlands shopping center. (703) 723-3058 www.chefshanecatering.com.
