Ciao Y'all

The food was outstanding and McDaniel spent a whole day prepping our food with love. We had to change plans multiple times due to having a baby then money complications and then changing dates to work with family schedules—McDaniel was so sweet and easy to work with. He bent over backwards for us and made sure our special day was perfect. He was quick to respond and always willing to work with us. We ended up not having a venue and did a super intimate wedding. We picked all the catering up and ate it at home with all our guests.

The truffle Mac and cheese shooters and Simosas were delicious! We got spaghetti (homemade) with blackened chicken and filet mignon with roasted potatoes, Brussels, green beans, and garlic bread— all of which were delicious.

I would 100% recommend Ciao y’all to anyone needing a caterer. He’s also very affordable in his pricing and really spends the time to make your big day special. McDaniel will work with you every step of the way and is so flexible with anything life May throw at you!

The food from Ciao Y'all really made the night special. Everyone was so impressed with the food and were even able to go back for seconds we had so much food left over. The steak and pork were cooked perfectly and the pasta bar made it to where everyone got exactly what they wanted. They even gave us a salad for free, which we hadn't initially been able to afford. They worked with me so much and answered all of my questions at all times of the day. They called me to check in and even made arrangements for me and my husband to do a tasting which was well worth our 8 hour drive. We felt so taken care of and got so many reviews on how this was the best food any of our guests had ever had at a wedding!

Did an incredible job despite the hurricane. Delicious food! Lovely people!

Food was delicious and they did a fantastic job. Very easy to work with and the guests were very happy with the service.

I cannot recommend Ciao Y'all enough!!! I have celiac disease, and when we first started wedding planning, we decided that it would be a 100% gluten-free wedding. Living in WNC, finding a GF caterer was a bit of a struggle, but the search was absolutely worth it!!! To start, the food is absolutely amazing. My Italian family and my husband's Southern family raved about the food—and have continued to do so a week after the wedding! As someone who has to be GF, I have run into individuals who will price gouge and make a profit off the dietary restriction; this could not be further from what happened! McDaniels was completely transparent, honest, and communicative about food cost, especially with the gluten-free accommodations. If you are getting married with dietary restrictions, know that you will be taken care of. I am very sensitive to gluten - more sensitive than the legal limit for "gluten"-free"—and didn't have any issues after the tasting or the wedding -- okay, I did overeat, but that was entirely my own fault ;)

Then, as though wedding planning isn't stressful enough, Hurricane Helene came and really threw a wrench into things. We got married in Hendersonville, NC, on 10/19/2024. The magical miracle that McDaniels pulled off to make my wedding perfect was beyond my wildest dreams. My priorities was everyone's safety and well-being, and I had made peace with the fact that my wedding was going to look different from how I had planned it. Due to the incredible effort from McDaniels and his team, as well as our vendors, absolutely nothing had to be compromised!!!!

Whether looking for a dietary-friendly wedding or just looking for some incredible Italian-Southern inspired food, Ciao Y'all is the caterer for you!!!

Ciao Y'all catered my daughter's wedding at Homewood in June 2024. They did an amazing job and were wonderful work with. Everyone loved the food and I highly recommend.

Ciao Y'all catered our June 2024 wedding and it was DELICIOUS. Excellent service, reasonable price tag, delicious food. The owner was incredibly nice and accommodating for us during the planning stages. I highly recommend the pistachio pesto pasta as one of your catering picks, it was a guest favorite

This catering service was an absolute pleasure to work with! The owner really worked with us on our all vegan menu. The seitan in our vegan bbq mac and cheese was perfectly seasoned and had amazing texture. We had eggplant as an entree and so many of my guests told me how much they liked it. They served all vegan canapés and the stuffed mushrooms were so delicious and loved by all the mushroom lovers in the group. We were completely stuffed by the end of the event. The staff was so much fun to work with and very amicable. We will definitely be checking out their food truck when we come back to Asheville.

Ciao Y’all provided amazing food for our cocktail hour that everyone loved! They were very flexible and responsive. Would definitely recommend!

Great food truck for a wedding! Would recommend!
