I grew up in an Italian home with lots of food, yelling over people talking and more family members than I can count. At the age of four, my Papi built me a stool for the stove, and I started making "gravy" on Sundays with Nani. I can still remember the smells of Sunday, family day. Everyone gathered around the kitchen table, and no one left hungry. I started Pel-Appino Catering in 2009, nothing too serious, just helped out with friends weddings, dinner parties, birthdays, etc.

One day my husband said, "you should do this full time". I thought he was crazy. Then, in December 2015 my sweet husband passed away and I decided a few months later I would take is advise and just go for it!! Joe would be so proud to see what Pel-Appino Catering has become. Every time we do an event, there is a little bit of Joe in there.

I love what I do and to feed people is to feed their souls. I chose this career because I have a passion for food. families and fun!

OMG, I love Cat.

Seriously. I love Cat. We would be besties if I had my way. First of all, with the tasting, the time that worked was on a day our kids were with us. I asked Cat if they could come and she was like, “Uh, duh.” The kids had SO much fun doing the tasting with us and Cat.

Then, she wasn’t available on our wedding day. And that was disappointing but only because I missed her vivacity. Her team was absolutely incredible. They were seriously so great.

And our guests all commented about on both the food and level of care from Cat’s staff. I actually had a couple people ask me for her contact info for their events, not even weddings- they just liked the food that much.
10/10 Highly Recommend

Amazing experience!

I could never even begin to summarize how wonderful and talented Cat is! She provided us with a wide variety of options for our menu, made sure we were involved in every step of the planning process, and over-delivered on how delicious everything was! She and her entire team were professional and an invaluable addition to our big day!

We had a fantastic experience with Pel-Appino Catering!

Planning:
To start, Cat (the owner) does free tastings at her house, which gave my wife and her family the opportunity to try many of the delicious options that they have. They enjoyed the time there and it absolutely helped us plan out a great meal. Cat was also very quick to communicate via email, and we never felt like we were left waiting for a response. This was extremely helpful for us during planning!

Food:
The food was delicious, and we got plenty of compliments from our guests!

We chose the charcutier grazing table as our appetizer, and Cat was also nice enough to throw in two extra appetizers, the "Ricotta with Lemon Basil and honey flat bread" and the "whipped goat cheese and blueberry balsamic crostini". These were great little bites for us, though as the wedding couple we were so busy we hardly had enough time to sit down and enjoy them!

For our main course, the dishes we especially loved were the "Sauteed Zucchini and Yellow Squash with Sundried Tomato Alfredo Sauce", the "Sambal Marinated Tri-tip with Fresh Fruit Tapenade" and the "Chicken Pel-Appino". While everything was delicious, these three were our absolute favorites!


The Wedding:
When the big day arrived, Cat's team was extremely helpful, professional, and incredibly flexible. They did a fantastic job, and we really couldn't have asked for anything more!

Overall, we had a wonderful wedding, and Pel-Appino was a critical part of that! Thanks again to Cat and each and every member of her team!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
