Olive Garden For Catering?

Yum 😋! I have used them for work purposes before. They did a great job. What are you planning to have on your menu?

Right now I am looking at the create your own pasta bar , stuffed mushrooms as appetizers , & dolcini for desserts !

Yum we're going with black eye pea

Hi Sydney! I have used Olive Garden Catering for an event before, and it was a huge hit! I have also used Bucca di Beppos and Maggianos for event catering as well. Out of all of these places, Bucca di Beppos was definitely the best, but Olive Garden was still really delicious! I think the best way to order is to get a large variety of choices to accommodate dietary needs! Also, when you order catering from large chain restaurants, they will deliver the food, but will not stay around to serve it! Olive Garden set up the food, but we were responsible for breaking it down, and everyone serves themselves! Just something to consider!

Do they include the chaffing kits with big orders?

My cousin had Olive Garden cater her wedding. It was a big hit with her guests.

We have used Olive Garden for work events, doing create your own pasta bar, and it has always been a hit with everyone. They provide the chaffing kits and set everything up so we just had to take down when the event was over.

Do you know what all was on her menu?

They do! It is really convenient for set up, as they will have the catering delivery person set up the food for you with chaffing kits included!

Create your own pasta bar sounds awesome! However, I'd do 1 or 2 more appetizers than just mushrooms. I hate mushrooms (and some people are allergic) so if I were a guest I'd be pretty hungry waiting for dinner to come around! Perhaps you can do other apps from their menu that will appeal to more tastes?

I have had it for a work party, an it worked out well. I would consider it. My fiancee got Chicken shack for his daughter's wedding and the guests really liked it too. I wouldn't mind using Famous Dave's BBQ for ours, but not everyone likes that

Im going to add in the zucchini bites and fried mozzarella !

Ooohh. Can you get chicken gnocchi soup? Lol. Probably would be way too difficult but so so good. Does it come with the salad as well? I also think you should have more apps if you can. I loveee mushrooms, but it's always good to have variety for guests who may not.

Yes it all comes with salad and bread sticks!!!

Okay now i really want some olive garden

We've used them for work quite a few times and everyone loved it

View Quoted Comment She had lasagna and chicken Parmesan with salad and breadsticks. For appetizers she had a cheese and crackers and veggie and fruit and dip trays from Wegman’s for cocktail hour. They served beer and wine and ice tea and lemonade. They had 60 people in a function room at a Hampton Inn.

They were on a really tight budget, but I never would have guessed they spent less than $5,000 on that day. It really was a lovely reception.

Perfect because my guest list is 60 people as well!

Following because we’re considering this as well. FH go there just about once a week. My brother works there so we’ll get a great price and they have so many options

Im now thinking of buying a large cheese and fruit tray for appetizers and just doing the pasta bar with the small Dolcini dessert since it all comes with bread sticks and salad Im assuming that can hold everyone off until its cake cutting time
