Italian Food for an Italian Venue

From start to finish, Angela was so great! Everyone at our wedding complimented how good the food was. Angela stopped by our table several times to ensure that we had enough to eat and were taken care of. I loved that she was so attentive to making sure we ate. Food was great as well as the service.

Salerno's catered our wedding and it truly was amazing! They were the first and only caterer we had a tasting with. From the moment we went to our tasting my husband and I both knew that they were the one. Barb was so awesome and made us feel like family. The food was absolutely delicious and we couldn't decide what we wanted so we did a little bit of everything. Angela helped us from the day I went to the bridal expo up until the day of my wedding. I can not say enough great things about her, she truly was amazing from the moment I was interested in Salerno's until the end of my wedding day! Everyone at Salerno's was the best and made us feel like family from the moment we walked in. I highly recommend them and they have a forever customer (my favorite restaurant now)!!!!

Salerno's catered our wedding on March 7th at Venue at the Grove. We had been to another wedding that used them and we loved the Pasta Action Station that they do and we knew we had to have that at ours. Initially we worked with Tracy and let me just say, she was amazing. She was so friendly, flexible and totally worked around our budget to help us get what we wanted and not go over the price we wanted to spend. Everyone we worked with from there on out did not disappoint and we love that it is a small family owned business. The only thing we wish would have been different was that they had heated up the pans for the pasta action station before guests started to get their dinner. Getting started initially was a little slow but when they were heated up guests started moving through much faster and everything worked out just fine, we had expected it to take a while anyway. The food was delicious and all of our guests definitely agreed, they loved it, we loved it and we are so happy we decided to use them and definitely plan on going back to their restaurant in Gilbert just to eat their delicious food!

Salerno's Catering was amazing and guests thoroughly enjoyed our food. Some even commented that they went back for more (buffet style). Tracy was such a good point of contact for me because she was responsive and sincerely made me feel like she cared about my big day despite having seen many other weddings and brides. As they are a family-owned business, they definitely make you feel like family! The tasting solidified it for me and my now husband. We didn't even bother meeting with any other catering companies. The pink sauce is a MUST TRY--it won't disappoint!

I cannot say enough about the AMAZING experience we had with Salerno's throughout the entire experience of choosing a caterer, planning our menu options and the actual execution of the big day. From our very first appointment with Ross the owner, we knew Salerno's would take care of us. Ross served us so many delicious options to try, offered helpful suggestions on what might and might not work and assured us that they would accommodate any request we had our hearts set on. They weren't the only catering company we tried nor the only tasting we attended and what a difference. The Salerno family made us feel so comfortable and relieved that we would be in good hands on our special day. Nicole assisted us with planning out details and any last minute changes. She was very responsive and always easy to get ahold of. On the day of, the staff were so professional, accommodating and everything was seamless and just PERFECT. It is not too often a bride gets to say that about such a big part of the event. I would absolutely recommend their services as well as the lemon chicken, baked cheese ravioli in pink sauce and hand passed warm panini's for appetizers! Thank You again Salernos!!!

Three major compliments we got at our wedding: venue, dress and the FOOD :) People we so impressed with the amazing food we served at our wedding. We did a custom pasta station and it was a hit! Salerno's is great to work with on price and have several different options for food. Their restaurant is down the street from our house, so my fiancé and I ate there frequently leading up to our wedding day. I've never had anything from there that I didn't like! They are family owned and just about the nicest people you will ever work with. Tracey is the catering manager and I think is the sweetest person I've ever met! The food and service were absolutely phenomenal. I would recommend them to any bride or for any event.

Salerno's food was so great! They had plenty of choices and were very flexible with our budget. Their serving staff went beyond my expectations! They are very friendly and they defiantly take care of the bride. They made sure I had hot food when I finally got to sit down and eat. We even got their desserts to have for those who did not want cake.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
