Every course, from the appetizers to the main courses, was incredible and beautifully presented. Many of our guests reached out about how it was simply such good food. One of our deciding factors was the fact that Buckboard is actually a restaurant here in San Diego, so their food was not just "wedding food" but actually restaurant quality. We fell in love instantly after our tasting. Knowing they are a local San Diego restaurant gave us so much confidence in food quality, and they absolutely delivered. Their service on the day of our wedding was seamless. It felt like everything was handled effortlessly, which allowed us to enjoy the day stress-free. My husband and I planned our wedding on our own and one of the biggest reliefs for us was that Buckboard took care of so many details - from linens, plates, and bar service to the propane for the heaters. Having one point of contact for everything was a great aspect. We truly didn't worry about their services at all day of. Buckboard's familiarity with our venue was another huge plus. They worked in perfect harmony with the venue staff. And as a same-sex couple, we were deeply touched by how welcomed and respected they made us feel throughout the entire process. We wholeheartedly recommend Buckboard Catering for their incredible food, great service, and outstanding communication. They made our wedding day not just special, but unforgettable. Thank you, Buckboard, for everything, you're truly the best!

I was looking for a caterer for a small {50 guests}wedding. After talking to 9 different…read morecompanies, I chose Flavor Chef. during my first call I could tell the owner was all about making my wedding perfect and serving the food my guests would love. Well he did not disappoint, from the appetizers to the desserts, each course was a hit. I am still getting compliments about the food served. I guess the best part of my experience with Perfect Chef was how easy they were to work with, nothing was too hard or complicated. Their staff were efficient and polite and did it all with a smile. Did I mention their cost was less then the other catering companies. I guess my experience was like the other reviewers....EXCELLENT. I would use them again and definitely recommend them to family and friends.

We had not anticipated such an amazing experience given it was for a small dinner party (10 ppl) versus a big event like a wedding or retirement party. The appetizers were amazing and dinner was perfect. We will definitely be coming back for any future needs. Everyone in our dinner party loved the food and the experience. Basically, we are all super fans!

The ambiance was cozy, intimate, and absolutely charming. We started with the Polpette and Prosciutto & Burrata, both delicious! Then came the Simona (Devil) Pizza and the fresh pasta à la Bolognese--everything was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. Of course, we had to finish with the refreshing Lemon Sorbet. No diet for us tonight! Every bite was worth it! The food was authentic and delicious, the ambiance was fantastic, and the service was excellent. If you're looking for a special and unique Italian dining experience, Marcello Pizza Napoli is definitely a place to try! Definitely coming back.

The website says, "Step into a real Italian home to discover the true flavors of Naples."…read more That's just ad copy, right? Right? Oh, no. It's the truth. Except the "Italian home" is actually a family's backyard. Some families install a swimming pool. This family took a different path and installed an authentic Neapolitan pizza restaurant. You have to see this place to believe it. Apparently, it flew under the radar for a few years until an influencer recently discovered it and posted about it. Now, word is getting out--and judging by our visit Sunday, August 23, it's blowing up. The place was packed. Service was definitely slower than you might encounter in Little Italy, but then again, keep reminding yourself: you are sitting in a family's backyard, and Momma is in the kitchen. Our table ordered a variety of pizzas and focaccia, and everything was delicious. The tomato sauce was particularly outstanding. I'll admit I prefer a crispier crust than what I got, but it was still wonderfully chewy and flavorful. And honestly, the setting is half the fun. It feels less like going to a restaurant and more like being invited into someone's very enthusiastic--and very delicious--family project. I'm already looking forward to going back and seeing how this place continues to evolve. MAKE A RESERVATION. But arrive expecting that you may still have to wait for a table. Just relax. Enjoy the environment. Take in the ridiculousness of eating authentic Neapolitan pizza in somebody's backyard. And bring an appetite

We've used Taquizas José for three years in a row now for our daughter's birthday party in our…read morebackyard, and they always are wonderful to work with. Most recently, they came out last Saturday and served our 50 guests with ease. Everything from communication to set up and clean up is easy and smooth. Their email response time is always incredibly fast and they make booking so efficient and quick. They are also very transparent about pricing and very reasonable in their pricing. They also offer discounts and sales often and often give a cash discount when paying too. Our guests always rave about the food and they are the only taco company we know of that offers fish tacos as an option. We also love that they offer more unusual items such as grilled veggies and churros. We highly recommend Taquizas José for your next event.

From the moment we inquired to the day of the party, we received several emails confirming the location, setup area, menu, and guest count. I had zero concerns about their ability to execute the plan, and I especially appreciated their 48-hour final confirmation. Our guests (95 total) raved about the food. We ran out of beef a little earlier than expected, but our people do love to eat and appreciated that the staff didn't skimp on portion sizes. I think my guests took "all you can eat" seriously--LOL. My only suggestion would be to let Taquizas Jose know if your group loves to eat, as you may want to factor that into the amount of meat they bring. We've been feasting on leftover beans, rice, and tortillas this week--thoroughly enjoying it. Safe to say no one left hungry, and we're still enjoying it days later. 10/10 would (and hope to) book again for any event!

They impressed me with their professional service, especially around the hors-d'oeuvres, which they passed frequently. No need to wave to them from across the room. Their pacing of the different platters was perfect. The food at that event also stood out above anything else I'd ever eaten from a catering firm. Our event was no different in every regard. The staff moved efficiently through the room, serving, then clearing. I couldn't believe we could get out of there with a clean venue as quickly as we did. I particularly appreciated the help we received transporting food and wine to our cars. A job very well done. Special thanks to our coordinator, Kimberly, for facilitating connections with the florist and wine merchant.
