La Lomita wedding with Mistura

When you plan a wedding for over 250 guests, you want a caterer who will treat each guest like they are special. That's what you can expect from Mistura. We had a sit down dinner and the food was as delicious as it was beautiful. The wedding and reception was held at La Lomita in February and we were beyond impressed and our guests are still talking about it.

Art and food

They are now called Mistura! We had tasting on our visit to SLO back in December. We met with Jacqueline and Nicola (the chef), and tasted the delicious and beautiful food at their restaurant Mama's Meatball in SLO. And dare I say, oh my god, the food and the alcohol pairing was beyond what I had imagined possible for wedding food! It was a little over our budget, but we still went with it, as food is a big part and priority of our wedding - to make sure that our guests are wooed by the food and happy and full by the end of the day.

Very excited to eat Mistura food again on our wedding in August. Will come back and post more photos. :)

Top notch food and service. They catered our daughters wedding on July 7th 2018. From our initial tasting we knew we were in great hands,. Their food and menu was fabulous, and many of our foodie guests commented that it was the best wedding food they had ever had. Their staff was so professional and nice, even though it was the hottest day and they were working in the heat. They were on time, and their presentation was beautiful. HIGHLY recommend
