We chose Macaluso's to have our Granddaugters Christening Party . It was "Magnificient". The party was for about 35 family members with a bunch of toddlers running around.The outdoor venue was an elegant but comfortable setting . With Fountains spewing water, Fire and water, classical Archways and columns beautifully landscaped. Then came the food . The Classical Buffet was beautifully presented and it was nothing less than spectacular. THE QUALITY AND ABUNDANCE of the food was Delicious. Every single Item was perfect. All I heard from my Guests all day was, how incredible the food was.
The entire staff was so professional and took to every detail. Friendly, helpful, accomodating. Couldn't do enough. The entire management team owner Elias , sons, nephews, bro- in-laws came out to the party to check on the events progress. Elias and family were soo gracious and just a delight to speak to and deal with. The attentiveness to every detail makes Macaluso's experience second to none. I highly recommend this venue for any occassion. Your guests will leave with their best experience ever. Macaluso's truly is in a class of its own. Thank you Elias , Nat , Maroon, and your gracious wife " the real boss" ; she was so charming to meet. If you are thinking of having a party. Don't waste your time shopping. Go to Macaluso's. They will exceed all your expectations.Elegance and class in every way. Un paralleled quality and value. Impeccable service and detail.
Thank you Macaluso's for a great experience.
It was truly a pleasure. We must do it again !

A Fairytale Wedding at Macaluso's
Our wedding day was truly the best day of our lives, and Macaluso's was such a big part in that. I can not even begin to explain how perfect our day was. EVERY staff member devoted every ounce of their attention to anything we needed, we were treated like royalty... but a *very* special shoutout to Maroon (our go-to!!), Nowal (a true angel), and Elias (so kind!) who really went above and beyond.
Our guests can not stop talking about how amazing our wedding was and so many people have told us it was the best wedding they've ever been to (with the most epic cocktail hour). Actually, I can't even mention Macaluso's without someone telling me how amazing the place is. Macaluso's and their staff will always be a very special part of our lives and we look forward to many more celebrations there over the years.
