We booked our wedding based upon our wonderful dining experiences at Appian. We expected good food, service, and ambiance. What we experienced on the day of our wedding far exceeded every single expectation.

The food - the food was off the charts. We expected a small cocktail hour, and what we experienced was a tremendous amount of delicious food - from penne vodka to stuffed mushrooms to artichoke hearts francese to chicken wings... to beyond. The chicken wings may see like they came out of left field, given that it’s an Italian venue, but I heard compliments all night (and the next day) regarding the tenderness and juiciness of the wings. Dinner was a three hour continuous buffet. Bobby convinced my husband and I to make plates for our sweetheart table before he opened it up to the guests, and this was a stellar move. In between dancing, we’d grab a bite and then get right back to the dance floor. The dinner buffet was incredible. Prior to the event, we chose a few of our favorite Appian dishes - the Michelangelo rigatoni, the eggplant rollatini, the chicken giambotta - and Bobby said he would “handle the rest.” While I am a bit of a micromanager, I trusted Bobby’s expertise and am so happy I did. Among the giant buffet, there was a tower of shrimp cocktail, an ode to my (now) husbands obsession with Appian shrimp cocktail. There were meat displays, including a tower of prosciutto. There was broccoli rabe and sausage, which was a perfect dish for the paleo, gluten free, and dairy free among us. For dessert, in addition to the tiered red velvet wedding cake, Bobby provided complimentary pastries on all of the guest tables (which everyone raved about). The dining experience was second to none.

We truly loved every moment of our wedding. It could not have been more perfect and I attribute that to the care, attention, and love that Bobby and his staff put into our event.

Ive had my wedding ceremony and reception here. I was truly impressed by the level of service i received. The food was great and the staff made sure our guests were comfortable the ENTIRE night.

Bobby went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly (which it did) and that my nerves were left at the door because everything was under control! I would definitely recommend the Appian Way for ANY occasion. Count on Bobby to make your day memorable and magical!! :)
