People couldn’t stop talking about how good the food was at our wedding. Everyone loved the variety and quality of the food provided by Albanese catering. They are small but growing business and with that does come growing pains. We had been promised the use of real plates for our reception but the week of, they found out that they had double booked the plates and we were going to be given high end disposable plates, which was not what was agreed upon. We were out out by this, but they did their very best to throw in some extras to compensate for this and I genuinely believe this was genuinely an oversight as they are growing. -

I have used Albanese catering 3 times…each time getting worse. The first time was for my daughters first holy communion party and it was amazing and we recommended them to many people and brought them a lot of business!
The second time it was mediocre…we ordered a thanksgiving complete meal with desserts and sides we ordered this for 11 people and received enough for about 4 people even though we paid for 11 people. We were offered a free meal Pack for the shortage in food.
The third and last time was this past Christmas where we ordered a complete Christmas dinner with sides and desserts for 11 people again. We used the free meal offer from the past poor experience figuring the first time was amazing and the thanksgiving problems must of been a one off. Our Christmas food was scheduled to be delivered on the 24th. After no contact on the 24th we finally reached them around 7pm at night and they said they would drop it off at 1pm on the 25th as I told them that was the time we were planning on eating. At 1:30 on the 25th they text me saying that everything except the turkey and ham just blew up in their kitchen and that they won’t be delivering anything! Keep in mind we ordered salad, cheese plate, pies that don’t involve an oven or stove! When questioned about the above items that shouldn’t of been involved in this blow up they just stated again that they only have turkey and ham. After many more messages begging for at least the turkey and ham to be delivered a small tray of meat was delivered around 5pm!!! The tray was probably enough to feed about 4-6 people not the 11 we paid for!
They offered to refund my money and give me a $200 credit towards another purchase with them. I have asked multiple times via messenger and requested the money back through Zelle multiple times to only have my messages ignored and no money refunded! So technically they still owe me $59 in cash and a four person meal along with $200 worth of other meals!
I love to support local businesses! So sad that this one in not on the up and up anymore! Steer clear of this one and move on to the next! -

They stole my money.
Had Theresa and Mike cater our wedding. 1st the food was late. We paid $100 for the "full service" (set up, serve the food to the guests and clean up). One person showed up to do all of it. Rightfully so she didn't even attempt to serve the guests,but she did set up and remove leftovers. We were supposed to have 3 sides with our 3 entrees and only 1 side arrived. Obviously one would expect a refund for the missing sides. The day after the wedding I got in touch with Theresa and she assured me I would get a credit back(refund) for the missing items. Now 3 weeks later she will not return a phone call or text message from me. Essentially they are stealing my money. I paid them for something I didn't get. Also,the food was mediocre at best. We were supposed to get chicken and steak kabobs on skewers the SKEWERS were literally TOOTHPICKS. The meat was so bland. The "pulled pork" was nothing but a ton of BBQ sauce and a little bit of pork. The chicken parmesan and pasta had no flavor at all. We ended up throwing away at least 65 to 75% of the food. It was the worst catering experience ever. I implore you to consider all of this when dealing with these thieves. If you look at Google reviews it appears we aren't the only ones to have had an experience like this in the last few months. -
