Reviews for Catering by Falzone
GUEST
We were most pleased. We were happy with the meal samples they provided before the service and the reception meal was even better. This caterer, Catering by Falzone, offers the ultimate in service and excellent food.
They will do the little extras to make the event a pleasure.
We were missing a few things (such as ice for the drinks and a wine opener) at the reception and this caterer filled the needs so everything went smoothly. They are nice people too!

It was an absolute pleasure to work with these clients! They had provided their own bar and bartender (which was not fully stocked) - it was our pleasure to take care of any details that were needed.

GUEST
We loved working with Pat and Judy and our wedding reception would not have been fantastic without their talent! Not only did they create a delicious, reasonably priced menu per our specifications and budget, but they executed the catering from start to finish with superb flavor, organization, follow up and attention to detail!! We received multiple, unsolicited compliments from our guests on the delicious food. Pat and Judy had a positive, "can do" attitude to unique requests, and are extremely experienced with event catering. We did our homework before selecting a catering company and we are positive that for the price and the quality of service, you will not find a better catering company in Los Angeles or the greater area.

A beautiful reception with wonderful clients & guests - a caterer's dream!
GUEST
From the first phone inquiry to the last good-bye, our experience with Catering by Falzone was wonderful. You will not find a more personable and professional catering service. Their food is delicious and plentiful. Our guests loved the food, and had only positive comments about it and the Falzone staff.
They catered our daughter's garden wedding of 115 guests. Their reasonable prices might be your first attraction to this company, but the food presentation and taste, coupled with the excellent service is what you will remember.
Our menu:
passed appetizers - crostini with various toppings
stationed appetizers - cheeses, fruits, shrimp cocktail, and stuffed mushrooms (to die for!)
Dinner:
6 cheese pasta
Meatballs Falzone
sausage and peppers
chicken parmesan
salad
rolls
green beans
chocolate dipped strawberries
iced tea
water
They allowed us to provide our own wine and beer, which was a big savings. Additionally, we could choose our own cake/dessert vendor.

It was our pleasure to work with the family on this gorgeous back yard wedding! The creativity of this reception was spectacular!
GUEST
We were amazed at how well attended we and our guests were. I knew the food was going to be fabulous because of the tasting, but I didn't realize how many people they'd have working for such an affordable price. The Falzones are amazing people who were professional and yet we felt like they were family. They made our wedding so wonderful and delicious. We would recommend them in a heartbeat.

Thank you for the wonderful review - it was our pleasure to serve!
GUEST
Falzone was in contact with us often before the event making suggestions and listening to what my daughter wanted. They worked with the venue and arranged a beautiful area for the appetizer hour. She wanted bottled coke to be served with the appetizers and they provided the buckets and ice and displayed them attractively...they were a big hit. Falzone was professional and fun to work with and most importantly the food was great. Highly recommended.
GUEST
My wife and I contacted Catering by Falzone while making plans for our daughter and son-in-laws wedding reception. Upon meeting Pat and Judy at a tasting we scheduled at our home we were immediately impressed. Not only was the food delicious, they also provided us with so much help and support during the months leading up to our event. The ongoing communications were very refreshing because we always knew where we were at and what to expect. The day of the event went flawlessly and our guests were as impressed as we were with the food and service provided. The presentation is exceptional and the quality is outstanding! Our family has a long tradition in fine Italian cooking. We couldn't have been more pleased than we were with Catering by Falzone. We highly recommend them.

Excellent clients! Wonderful to work for!
GUEST
I may have been a difficult bride. But the Falzones never made me feel like I was being unreasonable. We had a fluctuating guest list that as the day approached kept shrinking. However, I had prepaid for 100 people, so the menu couldn't be lessened. So instead of just bringing less food and charging the full amount, Catering by Falzone worked with me to alter the menu choices to encompass an entire night of feasting. Honestly, I thought we had enough food to feed an army, not 80 of my friends and family! When the night was over, there was not a scrap in sight. The food was so delicious and varied that no guest felt like there dietary needs were unmet. We apparently had a candy and fruit bar with appetizers, I say apparently because neither the groom nor I saw them before they were INHALED by the guests!
We had the Falzones out for a run through and walk about a couple months before the wedding. We could see the doubt in their eyes at the challenge we faced in a "backyard" wedding site. We took to heart their recommendations and made are few side-steps from the original plan. But I can say with all sincerity, when I saw their smiling faces just before the ceremony, I knew everything would be taken care of. I now work for a catering company, from behind the scenes I know now what I must have put them through with the crazy venue and the ever changing menu. Lesser caterers would have placated me and done the event within their own guidelines. Catering by Falzone are not only wonderful Caterers they are WONDERFUL people who made the food on my day effortless. (Which I know it wasn't!!) So thank you again. I hope someday I can call on you for our second vow renewal.

Vendor response to review
Our experience with couple was absolutely delightful! We were very happy to see rave reviews on 4 of 5 items. We did inquire as to why the couple scored us 3/5 on "flexibility" since we take pride in doing our best to accommodate all clients. The explanation was that we were not able to deliver the heat lamps that they had ordered through a third party rental company. It was our understanding through mutual agreement from the start that the clients wanted to take care of this themselves. Client stated that all items would have rated 5/5 had it not been for this.
GUEST
The Falzones are a wonderful, friendly couple who were very accommodating to our pre-wedding dramas. I never tested the food, but I didn't need to because everything was delicious and beautifully displayed. They are very affordable and completely professional.

“I want to thank you for your part in making the wedding a beautiful event. I was not aware of much in all the chaos, but I am aware that you are responsible for suggesting the area to set up for appetizers and that was not something I
would have been able to envision. It was beautiful in the gardens and the set up was so nice with the food and the barrels with the coke bottles. You made the event extra special along with your staff. The food was great, we had many compliments on
the eggplant parmesion and the melt in your mouth meatballs. But more than anything, you were so nice to work with leading up to the wedding and fun on the wedding day. I have already recommended you to one couple we met during clean-up who were
considering Camarillo for their wedding....more recommendations will be sent your way.”

“AWESOME!” Catering Weddings by Falzone saved the day for my 150 guest wedding. Everyone LOVED the food, the price was right, and they ran it so smoothly and quickly the day of the wedding. I can’t say
enough good things and recommend Catering Weddings by Falzone to all. If you want Italian fare for your event, go with Catering Weddings by Falzone!” - Shila, Simi Valley
“My husband and I used Catering Weddings by Falzone and couldn’t have been more pleased. They went the extra mile and beyond! Our wedding was so special. They made sure every detail was covered. The food was so amazing! It’s
been three months since the wedding and I am still receiving comments on how great the food was. Customer service – I can’t even tell you how special they made my husband and I feel. We want everyone to know that you will not go wrong
with this company. They are willing to work with you and do their best to be sure that you are happy. Thank you!”

"Having a wedding in Santa Barbara is expensive, even for a couple on a budget and planning it all ourselves. I'd searched high and low for a caterer and had expanded my search to the Los Angeles area in hopes of finding one that would
provide simple but delicious food at a reasonable cost.
From the beginning Pat & Judy Falzone were great! We received an estimate via email and proceed to communicate back and forth about menu options and cost. Replies were always prompt, and Pat was creative with working out food options that
would satisfy everyone, from the meaty and hearty (homemade Italian meatballs!) to the delicate and savoury (marinated chicken breast on herb rice). They even gave us both light (mushroom pesto pasta with peas) and hearty (eggplant parmesan) vegetarian
options!
I thought the distance would be a problem with the tasting, but they even came the distance to Santa Barbara and brought a full serving size of each option to taste - we were stuffed for lunch AND dinner!
The day of, set up was seamless. They maintained great communication with our coordinator about the timetable (and confirming the chafers I'd decided to rent last minute) and set-up everything beautifully by the time my husband and I arrived
at the reception.
Everyone, including the musicians, who often play higher-scale events, RAVED about the food, and there were such generous portions that we'd had enough to refill the chafers another time over! Several of our guests took home full chafers, and
we joked that we were feeding the town for the night.
A year later, they remembered our anniversary and sent us a note wishing us the best. Everyone should be as nice, professional, and passionate about what they do as they are!"

“I can’t express my gratitude enough for the wonderful catering service you provided us during our special day on November 7… and believe me, any catering service that we need – you will be on top of our list. The
stuffed mushrooms and the meatballs were DELICIOUS! I can’t wait for an excuse to taste your wonderful cooking again. And the presentation? – Everyone was impressed! God bless."

"The Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra hired Catering by Falzone for “Italy a la Carte,” one of our autumn dinner fundraisers held at the home of the Italian Consul General. Pat and Judy were a delight to work with and took
away any stress of the evening. They were helpful in creating a menu and quick to respond to any changes. They even created a new dish, “Pasta Faganello” for the event!"
