Italian Food for an Italian Venue

From start to finish, Angela was so great! Everyone at our wedding complimented how good the food was. Angela stopped by our table several times to ensure that we had enough to eat and were taken care of. I loved that she was so attentive to making sure we ate. Food was great as well as the service.

Salerno's catered our wedding and it truly was amazing! They were the first and only caterer we had a tasting with. From the moment we went to our tasting my husband and I both knew that they were the one. Barb was so awesome and made us feel like family. The food was absolutely delicious and we couldn't decide what we wanted so we did a little bit of everything. Angela helped us from the day I went to the bridal expo up until the day of my wedding. I can not say enough great things about her, she truly was amazing from the moment I was interested in Salerno's until the end of my wedding day! Everyone at Salerno's was the best and made us feel like family from the moment we walked in. I highly recommend them and they have a forever customer (my favorite restaurant now)!!!!

Salerno's catered our wedding on March 7th at Venue at the Grove. We had been to another wedding that used them and we loved the Pasta Action Station that they do and we knew we had to have that at ours. Initially we worked with Tracy and let me just say, she was amazing. She was so friendly, flexible and totally worked around our budget to help us get what we wanted and not go over the price we wanted to spend. Everyone we worked with from there on out did not disappoint and we love that it is a small family owned business. The only thing we wish would have been different was that they had heated up the pans for the pasta action station before guests started to get their dinner. Getting started initially was a little slow but when they were heated up guests started moving through much faster and everything worked out just fine, we had expected it to take a while anyway. The food was delicious and all of our guests definitely agreed, they loved it, we loved it and we are so happy we decided to use them and definitely plan on going back to their restaurant in Gilbert just to eat their delicious food!

Salerno's Catering was amazing and guests thoroughly enjoyed our food. Some even commented that they went back for more (buffet style). Tracy was such a good point of contact for me because she was responsive and sincerely made me feel like she cared about my big day despite having seen many other weddings and brides. As they are a family-owned business, they definitely make you feel like family! The tasting solidified it for me and my now husband. We didn't even bother meeting with any other catering companies. The pink sauce is a MUST TRY--it won't disappoint!

Salerno's was great to do business with. The food was delicious, the staff was so friendly, and they worked with us to make it an awesome night! They were understanding that we were on a budget and worked with us to make our wedding so special.

I cannot say enough about the AMAZING experience we had with Salerno's throughout the entire experience of choosing a caterer, planning our menu options and the actual execution of the big day. From our very first appointment with Ross the owner, we knew Salerno's would take care of us. Ross served us so many delicious options to try, offered helpful suggestions on what might and might not work and assured us that they would accommodate any request we had our hearts set on. They weren't the only catering company we tried nor the only tasting we attended and what a difference. The Salerno family made us feel so comfortable and relieved that we would be in good hands on our special day. Nicole assisted us with planning out details and any last minute changes. She was very responsive and always easy to get ahold of. On the day of, the staff were so professional, accommodating and everything was seamless and just PERFECT. It is not too often a bride gets to say that about such a big part of the event. I would absolutely recommend their services as well as the lemon chicken, baked cheese ravioli in pink sauce and hand passed warm panini's for appetizers! Thank You again Salernos!!!

Three major compliments we got at our wedding: venue, dress and the FOOD :) People we so impressed with the amazing food we served at our wedding. We did a custom pasta station and it was a hit! Salerno's is great to work with on price and have several different options for food. Their restaurant is down the street from our house, so my fiancé and I ate there frequently leading up to our wedding day. I've never had anything from there that I didn't like! They are family owned and just about the nicest people you will ever work with. Tracey is the catering manager and I think is the sweetest person I've ever met! The food and service were absolutely phenomenal. I would recommend them to any bride or for any event.

Salerno's food was so great! They had plenty of choices and were very flexible with our budget. Their serving staff went beyond my expectations! They are very friendly and they defiantly take care of the bride. They made sure I had hot food when I finally got to sit down and eat. We even got their desserts to have for those who did not want cake.

Salerno's Catering was awesome! Nicole our catering manager was on top of every detail. The food was absolutely the best. We received great comliments on the pesto pasta and teh Chicken parm.

The value of what you get for the cost was more than we expected. We searched and reviewed at least 6 other catering companies and found Salerno's literally in our backyard (down the street). They really treat you like family.... Highly recommend!

Salernos was amazing! They matched a deal we would have gotten from another catering company as well letting us provided sodas for drinks that thye kept cold and served for us. The Food is amazing we will be going to their restaurant any time i want Italian food from now on. Their staff kept everything running smoothly and even brought my Husband and I our food first so that we didn’t have to go stand in line We got married on Halloween and made masquerade masks for the wedding favors the staff really got into the spirit of the reception theme by decorating the table with some subtle Halloween decorations and even wearing masks!

Salerno's is absolutely amazing! The food was fantastic, Tracy worked with us to stay under our budgest and they are willing to do anything and everything to make the reception just how you want it. My husband and I met with several catering companies and Salerno's was by far the best. The prices are awesome and words cannot even describe the exceptional staff. Thank you Salerno's for everything! Everyone loved the food and we cannot express our gratitude enough to all of your staff!

Salernos provided catering for wedding day, and brunch the next morning. Both of which were wonderful.

Tracey, the catering manager, is who we were mainly in contact with from the beginning. From the start, she was very thorough, professional, and ready to meet all of our needs. She met with us ahead of time, and let us try EVERYTHING on the catering menu. My parents and I were sold after meeting her, and trying the food.

The restaurant provided salad, a full meal and a cheese/fruit platter for our guests the night of the wedding. Our guests were very pleased with the food, and the same goes for brunch that was held at my parent's house the following morning. They were VERY flexible with our veggie/gluten free requests for some guests, which we found hard to find. The staff who worked the night of our big day were very kind and professional to everyone!

If you are looking for affordable, great food for your wedding, Salerno's is hard to beat in the Phoenix area. Although the food is wonderful, it is more buffet style if you are not into that.

Thanks!

Salerno's catered our wedding yesterday and it was amazing! We had the chicken parm, pasta with pink sauce and salad along with appetizers and assorted sweets. Our guests kept complimenting us on the food! We primarily worked with Nicole, the daughter of the owner, and she was professional, caring and works with an amazing staff. Thank you!

The food was great! I reallly like the amount of options they gave you to pick from. Everyone at the reception said they loved the food and that is a hard part to get right.

Tracy and her team at Salernos were amazing. Good wedding food is hard to come by, as we quickly learned when we sought out a local caterer that had been 'recommended' to us. The price was right, but the food, was not! With that, we decided to try our second choice, an Italian Caterer. We met with Tracy one year prior to our wedding and she delivered EXACTLY what we wanted, one among them, a salad to die for... Spinach in strawberry vinaigrette, with blue cheese, pecans, and strawberry's (to go with our "strawberry theme"). Beautiful! The rest of the food was really great too. In fact, we had a lot of guest comment on the food after the wedding, complimenting us on the food, and that's always an iffy one. Beyond that, their waiters were very helpful and attentive. I'd absolutely recommend Salerno's.

The presentation of the food was lovely and thoughtfully done. We received quality in the food service and appreciated the professional staff that helped us plan and coordinate our event. The food servers were adequate but last minute kitchen prep seemed a bit harried and some work was performed by a family member. We appreciated the effort to include organic and locally produced product into our menu per our request. The quality v. cost ratio was excellent.
