Ralph and team completed exceeded our expectations

Like many other couples in 2020, our wedding plans changed from being at a venue to our backyard. One of our favorite things when going to weddings is the cocktail hour so we were set on trying to give that same experience in our backyard. With the service that Ralph and his team provided, it surpassed all of our expectation and actually made us glad that our plans changed. Ralph provides a different level of service - he doesn’t have a standard catering menu he follows- he meets with the individual couples and caters a menu for them. We opted to go with the shucking boat which not only was talking point for all of our guests but I actually was able to shuck an oyster! The charcuterie table blew us away and we had about 10 other passed appetizers that could have replaced our dinner they were so good! After cocktail hour was over the team seamlessly cleaned everything up and help package up the leftovers that we were able to reheat at the after party. If you’re holding an event and want to wow your guest I highly recommend booking the Long Island shucking truck!

I have know Ralph Viggiano for a long time and have met all of his brothers who are involved with his catering over the years. All great people, very personable, generous, and helpful. They were the obvious choice for catering my grandmothers memorial service after her passing this past summer (2017).

Ralph had the memorial service all planned, prepped, and ready to go with 3 days notice; for a memorial with approximately 200 attended! It was a beautiful night, incredible food, and flawless service.

I would recommend Ralph to anyone looking for catering services, he will surely cater my wedding.
