Love Lucarelli’s

I highly recommend Lucarelli’s Banquet Center for any of your catering needs! I have use Lucarelli’s Banquet Center for my baby shower, my bridal shower, and now my wedding. They have gone over and beyond each and every time to ensure that we were beyond happy with their services. For my wedding the food was delicious I unfortunately did not get a chance to eat my meal due to crazy circumstances and the day of my wedding however Amanda Lucarelli is going over and Beyond to make up for that. Mr. Lucarelli and Amanda are both beyond personable and great people they listen to everything that you want and do whatever they can to make it happen for a reasonable price. I would absolutely use Lucarelli in the future and recommend anybody needing a caterer or place to get married to use them. We will definitely Use them in the future.

Amazing job!!

I’ve host numerous events at Lucarelli’s they also catered my wedding! It’s a great venue and amazing catering service. We still get so many compliments on our food and bar service form our wedding and whenever we host events at Lucarelli’s the venue and staff is always great to work with! Recently hosted my sons first birthday party. Very spacious room for our large family! & the best part, it’s not at my house and I don’t have to worry about clean up after!!

Delicious food and friendly offsite service

Our wedding outdoors about 40 minutes from Buffalo went so well thanks to the Lucarelli's staff. They were extremely professional and easy to work with. During our dinner buffet service in the woods they were all smiles and happy to keep things flowing well. Amanda was responsive to calls and emails leading up to the big day, which helped to lessen our stress. All of our guests were raving about the food, especially the pasta and beef tenderloin! The bar service was on point, as well. We were so pleased with everything.

We are so happy we chose Lucarelli's for our wedding venue! They helped us through the wedding planning process and were always there to answer questions that we had. Everyone kept complimenting us on how great the food was. We will definitely recommend them to our friends who will be getting married!

Katie and the staff at Lucarelli's has been amazing our entire wedding process. The food was outstanding and we keep hearing from the people that were invited how amazing the beef was. Katie went above and beyond to make sure my night was wonderful even dealing with my centerpieces. The bartender remembered my drink order the entire night! Thank You Katie, Mike and Luke's crew

A great choice when planning your special event! I was lucky enough for the second time in a few months to help plan a holiday celebration for our individuals and their family & friends from SASi/Claddagh group homes, at Lucarelli's Banquets. Mike, Linda, Katie, Janis and the their whole team of staff go above and beyond to accommodate our very special guests. They are patient with our seating & dietary needs as many of our guests are part of the special needs community. They adjust as needed for us, right up until the eleventh hour, making sure everyone has a comfortable and enjoyable experience. They certainly make our jobs much easier as they are very flexible to on the spot changes. This year's St. Patrick's Day party was no exception. Food was served hot and of high quality! The cabbage was excellent!! Staff is always around and available for whatever may come up, as they always work quickly to rectify the situation. With Mike Lucarelli himself, coming out to say hello to all our guests, really a very personable man! We look forward to seeing Mike & his crew again in the near future, as our events we host at Lucarrelli's are always eagerly anticipated! I would highly recommend an event at this Southtown"s staple!

Let me just say theyre amazing and did an fantastic job. We had them cater the food at our wedding and I am so happy we did.
I have seen their work multiple times and knew I liked them a lot. Their food is always delicious and top notch and as people, they are so very kind and down to Earth.
We couldn't have asked for anyone better than Mike, Amanda and Katie. Every detail was taken care of and the staff was wonderful as well.
Thank you guys again! You made our day absolutely perfect.

We went with Lucarelli's as the caterer for our wedding at the Botanical Gardens, and could not be happier with our choice! They were professional, easy to work with, responsive to our requests, and the food was delicious! We strongly recommend them to anyone looking for great food!

We worked very closely with Mike, the owner, on the menu. We had some ideas of unusual things we wanted, and they were able to do everything! We had a family recipe we wanted, so Mike asked that we send it to them a few months beforehand so they could perfect it. And it came out amazing! We also wanted some different buffet selections, and he had suggestions for great food pairings that we went with and were fantastic!

We also worked very closely with Amanda, the manager, on how to best arrange things within the space at the Botanical Gardens. She and Mike both had suggestions based on what they had seen work well in the past (or not so well), and we were so happy we listened to them. They both helped us take the menu through multiple iterations so we wouldn't go over our budget, and had ideas on where to spend and where to cut back to get the optimal experience. We were so happy with what we got and what we spent!

The day of the wedding Amanda was on site to keep things moving efficiently and make sure it was exactly how we planned it - and it was! The servers, chefs, and staff that we worked with that night were all friendly and professional, and we got mullions of compliments on both the food and how smoothly it all went - which was all thanks to Lucarelli's! Plus, because they have a mobile kitchen all the food came out hot and fresh, because it was all freshly prepared on site.

They were easy to work with the whole time, Linda in the office always got back to our emails right away, and the fact that we were planning from out of town wasn't ever an issue because they had such a good handle on things.

And make sure you get the bananas foster - it is amazing!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
