    Highly Recommend!

    Z's Cafe was amazing for my wedding! The food was great but the service was exceptional! My outdoor wedding got rained out on a Saturday night and they were able to shift to Sunday morning and make everything happen! I will be forever grateful for them!

    Z's cafe is an awesome and affordable choice for wedding catering. Carlo is awesome and the food was delicious. My guests complimented on how great the food taste and loved the bacon wrapped jalapeno appetizer!

    We loved working with Carlo from Z's Catering for our wedding! We were extremely pleased with the service and food the day of our wedding, as well as the planning beforehand! Carlo worked with our budget without trying to sell us on things we could not afford, and they provided more than enough staff on the day of. Our wedding had 240 guests and we did a pasta buffet which was a huge hit! I would definitely recommend Z's for weddings or other events!

    Z's cafe catered the dinner and appetizers for our wedding. My guests complimented how great all of our food was! They were so pleasant and enthusiastic to work with, and the prices were more than reasonable. Their staff was friendly and so nice! Iwould totally recommend them to anyone in the future!

    Z's Cafe & Catering's reply:

    Kathryn, it was a sincere pleasure serving you on this milestone occasion. We wish you all the happiness in the world!

    I had Z's Cafe cater my wedding for 150 people at the Belltower Chapel. Carlo (the owner) was wonderful and so easy to work with. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and I couldn't complain about a thing! I would hire him for any catering service in the future!

    Z's Cafe & Catering's reply:

    We love getting reviews like this. It was an honor catering this milestone event for you - we wish you all the best in 2016 and beyond!

    The food was delicious and working with Carlo was so enjoyable and easy! He gave such good advice for how much we would need of food and supplies, and he even gave tips for the timing of reception events. His servers and bartenders were great! Most of all, I love how he runs his business with such a socially conscious heart (read about his community involvement on his site). Just FYI, the macaroni and cheese is to-die-for!

    Z's Cafe & Catering's reply:

    It's always a pleasure working with friends. The Mitchell family was a joy to work with. I only wish you had more daughters so we could cater more of your weddings. :)

    Z's cafe did our wedding catering this past weekend. The food was absolutely wonderful. We had the pork tenderloin and the chicken epinard - both of which were perfect. The Mac n Cheese bar was a big hit as well. The servers were great about clearing plates and keeping everyone happy. Carlo (owner) is very helpful and easy to talk to. Overall, everything was perfect. If you are looking for an affordable wedding caterer, look no further.

    Z's Cafe & Catering's reply:

    Your kind review is much appreciated. We wish you a lifetime of happiness!

    Z's did a great job of helping us prepare for an expected number, but also correcting things once we knew the final number. The food was great and Carlo was instrumental in guiding us when we planned out the food and bar services. The King Ranch chicken casserole was a hit, as was the selection of beers and wines, and the cheese, fruit and cracker appetizers. Couldn't have asked for a better (and not intrusive) staff the day of!

    Z's Cafe & Catering's reply:

    The pleasure was all ours. Congratulations again!

    Excellent options and delicious food!

    Hands down the Chicken Epinard is the most amazing chicken we've ever tasted! We loved the various options that we could pick to give our guests some choices. We had a handful of guests with allergies and some kiddos that they helped us find the best options for. The servers were professional and friendly. The cocktail hour display platters looked incredible and we are so happy with the way that everything turned out! Love, Cary and Zoe Register

    Z's Cafe & Catering's reply:

    Cary and Zoe,

    We are so thankful to read such a rave review! You all were a joy to work with and made the process so easy and fun. We wish you a lifetime of happiness and hope to serve you again soon (maybe your anniversary?) :)

    Kind regards,

    - Carlo, Tonya and the Z's Cafe Team

    We loved working with Carlo and the food was amazing! They did a fantastic job at the wedding and we got several compliments from guests. My one tiny area of dissatisfaction is that the bartender didn't make our signature drink (a moscow mule with mint in it) but instead made a vodka lemonade. This left us with about 20 packages of leftover mint to throw away and 2 cases of ginger beer. Otherwise everything was perfect!

    Carlo and his crew were great! He was very helpful with ideas for catering and other aspects of the wedding. The food is very good and everyone enjoyed it.

    I loved working with Tonya! She was so accommodating and willing to help out as much as possible. I used them for buffet/bartending and they did such an amazing job. They helped us set all the tables and decorate for the reception which they absolutely didn't have to do. The only complaint I have is that the chicken parmesan ran out but it was so delicious so I get why it did. Other than that, they did an absolutely amazing job!

    Z's Cafe & Catering's reply:

    It was a pleasure and an honor to serve you, your husband, your family members, and your guests! Offering the Chicken Parmesan and Raspberry Chipotle Pork Loin was a great decision. Serving two delicious entrees can be tricky, however we are thrilled that you and your guests were pleased with our food and service. Really. Thank You for inviting us to be a part of your big day!

    Z's Cafe does BEAUTIFUL catering. Their food is delicious and always presented beautifully. My only complaint is their bartending service for my wedding. I had 3 kegs brought in that were all set up and ready to go. They literally just had to pour. However, their bartenders over-pumped all of the kegs so they were basically unusable.

    Z's Cafe & Catering's reply:

    Thank you for your review. It was a pleasure working with your family on your special day!

    We sincerely apologize for the problem with the kegs. While it's not uncommon to overpump a keg, it's practically impossible to overpump 3 of them, as our bartenders had a decade of experience between them that night. We believe that the issue was with the kegs themselves before we ever received them.

    The food was good but there was not enough! There was supposed to be enough food to feed 175 people. We had less than that (around 125) and the food ran out! The wedding party didn't get any and ended up ordering a pizza just so they could have some food.

    Z's Cafe & Catering's reply:

    Megan, we are so sorry that your guests did not have enough food. As we are Italian (we tend to overfeed people), we have never run out of food out of the thousands of events we've executed in the 6 years we've been in business.

    We always suggest a buffet meal with entrees and sides for weddings, since your guests will not have eaten for hours by the time they arrive at the reception. Despite our recommendations for such a large group (175 people) during a hot month (August), the menu you selected was all party platters, and you had ordered a larger variety with fewer quantities to stretch your budget.

    There's always a risk that people will eat a full portion of each item, leaving the people at the end of the line without food. Unfortunately, this is what happened. When we saw this happening, we did our best to stretch the food through portion control, but there simply wasn't enough food ordered.
