Otto Catering

We could not recommend OTTO Catering enough! They catered our wedding and were absolutely amazing from start to finish. The food was delicious, the service was fantastic, and their team truly went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of.

We had some unexpected last-minute weather changes on our wedding day that made things more complicated than planned, and the OTTO team was incredibly flexible, professional, and helpful throughout all of it. They adapted without missing a beat and took so much stress off of us, which meant a lot on such an important day.

Our guests had nothing but great things to say about the food, and we were extremely happy with both the quality and the service. You can tell they genuinely care about making sure their clients have a great experience.

We’re so grateful OTTO was part of our wedding and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a caterer. Thank you for helping make our day so special!

We would recommend Otto to anyone! It is our favorite restaurant (we go most weeks) so we were so excited to learn they could cater our wedding! Pricing was affordable and they were very easy to work with!! We got lots of compliments from our guests on the food!

We had the pleasure of having Ali and the Otto team cater our wedding, and we can’t say enough about how fantastic it was. The food was incredible, with tons of guests telling us how good it was. The service, including a full bar, went above and beyond. And most importantly, the entire team was so easy to work with. There’s so much to think about during your wedding day and throughout the planning process, but Otto never added to our stress. Ali especially was incredibly responsive, kind, and friendly. He didn’t just provide good food, he added to the whole experience with his energy and professionalism. So grateful for Otto!

Michele, this is already a lovely review because it sounds authentic and specific. I tightened the language a bit, elevated Ali's warmth and commitment to service, and leaned into the reassurance future couples and parents are looking for when choosing a caterer.

Otto Catering was wonderful to work with from our very first email through the end of our daughter's wedding reception. Ali, the owner, was incredibly warm, responsive, and accommodating throughout the entire process. He made us feel like our daughter's wedding truly mattered to him and was committed to ensuring that we, and our guests, had a wonderful experience.

Ali graciously scheduled a tasting at their restaurant in Charlottesville, where he and his staff prepared a wide variety of Turkish dishes for us to sample as we planned the reception buffet. We were blown away by the freshness, creativity, and incredible flavors, making it genuinely difficult to narrow down our final menu. Who knew a celery salad could be so memorable?

He was also thoughtful and flexible in helping us stay within our budget, offering different levels of service and pricing without ever making us feel pressured to spend more than we were comfortable with.

Our guests raved about the appetizers served during cocktail hour and delighted in the abundance of delicious Turkish and Mediterranean dishes on the buffet. The Otto team was friendly, professional, and attentive throughout the reception, even helping to cut and serve the wedding cake and complimentary baklava, a thoughtful touch that our guests loved.

Planning a wedding can be stressful, but Ali and the Otto team made the catering portion easy and enjoyable. They delivered exceptional food, outstanding service, and genuine hospitality while helping us stay within budget. We wholeheartedly recommend Otto Catering for weddings and any special event.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Ali and his team at Otto Eats. Ali was patient with the (many!) questions I asked along the way, and we and our guests loved the food! We got so many compliments!

We are so grateful to have worked with Otto Eats, and they are a part of what made our wedding day special.

Wonderful experience and even better food! Working with the team was simple, flexible and efficient.

Otto catered both our welcome dinner and wedding reception, and we couldn't be more pleased with how the food turned out. Ali and his team were easy to work with leading up to our wedding (including addressing dietary restrictions) and ensured everything ran smoothly the day of the event. The food was phenomenal and received so many compliments throughout the weekend. Thank you, Otto, for feeding us all weekend!

Ali and his team did an amazing job catering our wedding with utmost professionalism and talent. They served passed hors d'oeuvres to our guests during our cocktail hour and also provided a delicious dinner buffet for our reception. They did a great job of incorporating multiple cuisines to please our various preferences from guests, as well as taking into account the dietary restrictions some of our guests had. They worked with us to create an amazing menu that blended American and Middle Eastern cuisines, which were peanut-free and included halal and vegetarian options. The staff were very kind and helpful throughout the night. I'd definitely recommend Otto Eats as an exceptional catering company and also recommend anyone in the Charlottesville area to visit their restaurant!

If I could give Otto Eats and Catering more than 5 stars, I would! From start to finish, their team absolutely blew us away. Our wedding reception dinner at Sky Ridge Farm was over the top amazing — every single detail was flawless.

The food was simply incredible. Guests are still talking about the flavor, presentation, and quality of everything served. The salmon, in particular, was among the best I’ve ever had — perfectly cooked, fresh, and bursting with flavor. Every dish, from the passed hors d’oeuvres to the beautifully presented buffet, was prepared with such care and attention to detail that it felt like a fine dining experience for 200 guests.

The service was equally exceptional. Every server had a genuine smile on their face, graciously attending to guests and making everyone feel welcome. The bartender was professional, friendly, and a total pro behind the bar — keeping the drinks flowing and the energy upbeat all night.

The setup and display were stunning. Every table, platter, and station looked thoughtfully designed and perfectly arranged — not a single detail overlooked. And when the evening came to a close, their team stayed until the very end — sweeping, tidying up, and making sure everything was spotless. That level of commitment and pride in their work was something truly special.

To Ali Sevindi and the entire Otto Eats team — thank you for helping make our celebration so seamless, elegant, and unforgettable. You made it easy for us to simply enjoy the night.

We can’t recommend Otto Eats & Catering highly enough. If you’re looking for a catering company that combines world-class food, warm hospitality, and flawless execution — this is the team you want. Five stars doesn’t even begin to cover it!

We considered several local vendors to cater our wedding reception, but we knew as soon as we met Ali, the owner, that we’d go with Otto Eats. It was the best decision! Ali and his whole team were amazing to work with from beginning to end. Ali was so helpful with planning and did everything possible to make sure our day was wonderful. Literally everything we tried at the tasting was delicious, which made it hard to make selections, and we got so many comments from our friends and family about how great the food was!

We HIGHLY recommend Otto Eats to anyone looking to cater an event or for a special occasion!
