Another delicious assortment of tasty food from Custodi. Christina is a very special person who is very helpful and accurate with her knowledge of the catering menu. Delivery on Thanksgiving was very timely. The pepperoni stuffed bread is one of our favorites. Delicious ravioli in meat sauce were cooked perfectly! The honey glazed carrots are not to be missed! Thank you Chris for these wonderful tasty dishes. read more

I recently had the pleasure of working with Custodi Catering for an event, and I couldn't be more impressed! From start to finish, their service and food was exceptional. I highly recommend Custodi Catering for any event where you want to impress your guests with exquisite food and top-notch service. I look forward to working with them again in the future! Chris the owner, is so knowledgeable and passionate about his food and his business. They do corporate event as well as Thanksgiving Dinner and Christmas eve.

Always delicious food! Not close to me but I do not mind the drive to get great food. Don't hesitate to order catering!

I recently threw a party for about 40 people at our clubhouse and used custodi caterers. What an unbelievable experience from working with Chris on the menu to the details of coat racks! We had a bartender and 3 servers for passed hors d'oevres while Chris and his team worked their magic behind the scenes. They were on time, patient, professional, pleasant and cleaned up so well you wouldn't know we had a party. The food was AMAZING and we had so much left over! I have zero complaints and will be using them again in the future for every catering event. read more

See all

Chef Chris and his staff were awesome and very attentive for our wedding day! Me and my wife had our wedding on September 28. We had a DIY wedding with roughly 100 guests. Chef Chris communicated very well with us throughout the planning process. We had a customized international menu. In addition to American and Italian, we also had Polish and Puerto Rican cuisine. Our guests loved the food! I would highly recommend Custodi Caterers. read more

We worked with Custodi Caterers for our Halloween-themed wedding reception and Chris and his whole team were absolutely wonderful from start to finish. They made the entire process (which can be stressful) a true pleasure, and the party turned out exactly how we had dreamed -- elegant, but fun and memorable for everyone. The whole team was fast, efficient, professional, friendly and communicated well with us. Plus, the food was absolutely incredible -- everyone at the party raved about how good it is. They added special personal touches and really made our reception special. If you are looking for a caterer for ANY reason, do yourself a favor and hire Chris and Custodi Caterers. read more

Catered food for Father's Day. Everything was delicious and very reasonably priced. The staff was very professional and helpful

We had our corporate office party catered by Chris. His staff took the time to unwrap and set up all the food, making it easy to serve for our employees. There is a large variety to choose from and each dish was amazing. A couple favorites were the chicken francese, sausage and peppers, mixed vegetable platter, and backed ziti. We will use him for all our catering needs moving forward! read more

We recently catered a 30th birthday party at our home. Chris was wonderful with helping us plan, and the food was out of this world delicious. Our guests wanted to know where we ordered the food because it was so good! John delivered the order promptly, and with great professionalism. We highly recommend Custodi caterers. You will be very pleased. read more

Excellent cooking! Had my son's graduation party catered and our guests were all at awe with how delicious all the dishes were. We ordered the pulled pork, brisket, chicken franchese, shrimp scampi over linguini, poached salmon and penne vodka. Guests came back for seconds and third servings and there were still left overs. The wait staff provided were very professional especially Liz. Thank you Chris for providing food that was so great on the palette. read more

We used Chris for our daughters graduation party yesterday. He delivered on time like promised. The food was out of this world. He gave more that we could have asked for. I can not say anything more than to say if you want a excellent party use Custodi! Great job! read more

From Dad: We met with Chris of Custodi Caterers about ten months before our daughter's wedding. We could tell immediately that he is one of the good guys, and decided on the spot to do business with him. We were not disappointed. Custodi provided a bountiful, delicious buffet feast on the big day. A month later our guests continue to remark on the quality of the food and the service. Custodi employed an efficient, skilled staff of kitchen people, servers and bartenders. It was obvious they all cared about their work, and were personally invested in making the wedding memorable and successful. We give Custodi Caterers our enthusiastic recommendation! read more

This is the best of the best. We hired Custodi to cater our son's second birthday and it was the best decision we made. The food was excellent and their attention to detail was beyond our expectations. Many of our guests called me the next day to talk about how delicious the food was. Chris, the manager, helped us with our menu and made suggestions that saved us money. Robin and Alice helped during event, and they went above and beyond in making sure that that our guests were attended for with drinks and food. Many, many thanks. I will definitively will be requesting your services again. Mike read more

Used Custodi to cater my sons 1st birthday party. My guests loved it because it wasn't all your typical Italian food. Highly recommended.

Custodi provides a step above your standard catering. The specialty sandwiches are expertly made with as much meat and filling as they can fit with a toothpick between the soft, crusty bread. If you're ordering a pasta, GET THE STUFFED RIGATONI IN BASIL CREAM SAUCE. Just do it. You'll thank me later. It's incredible. read more

We used Custodi Caterers this past weekend for a large outdoor party and were so impressed and pleased with the quality of the food and level of customer service! Custodi offers a huge selection and Chris was great in letting us customize a few dishes. Our guests loved the entrees and found each dish to be well-seasoned and very tasty. Yum! We also had two staff work at the party - they were so on-point! Friendly, professional, and helpful from the minute they arrived...and left my kitchen spotless with leftover food packed and refrigerated! Will hire Custodi again and have already given out their name to several guests at the party. read more

Custodi catered my wedding and they did a phenomenal job. Very professional and very affordable for my husband and I. We were very pleased with the outcome. The food is fresh and delicious and the service is awesome. I will look to them for catering in the future. read more

Custodi Caterers - a table setting with wine bottles and napkins - Caterers Near Me - Belleville, New Jersey

So I reached out this business for potentially catering my wedding. I met with Chris with my fiance and just did not have a good experience. I felt that he wasn't open to listening to what we needed - instead he showed me pictures on his phone of what they've done. Throughout, i felt like he kept trying to sell us rather then listen to what we want or need. He was also inappropriately pushy, after we tasted the food he said most people decide if they are going to go with them. As a client, I can see whoever fits best - not ok at all that he felt that he could be that pushy. Because of his attitude and demeanor, I already did not want to work with his company. The ironic thing is that the food was actually tasty. Visually a bit greasy but tasty. He was not a client-focused person and so I do not recommend this service for anyone who finds customer service very important. read more

The food was absolutely delicious. Service was on time warmed.. They were willing to accommodate according to our needs! . Highly recommended read more

I rarely give 5 stars but Custodi has earned it. Catering for a house party 40 guests. First off Chris is so easy to work with and will try to accommodate all of your requests. The food arrived on time and was set up nicely. They bring everything. I was having a casual party but they can also do formal affairs. Food was excellent - the pasta with vodka sauce and eggplant parm were outstanding. But everything was fresh and homemade. Three things I would suggest you consider: 1) the paper goods they brought were not highest quality - they supplied more than enough but next time I will supply my own; 2) the green salad was fine but dressing was great - next time I will order a more interesting salad; 3) trays are big - you will have more than enough food - trust Chris when he says you have more than enough! I will use Custodi for all my events big and small and would recommend you do the same. read more

I work at nps and we always order from them ! They are always professional there food is tasty not too overly seasoned! We NEVER have any left overs! I am constantly telling everyone about there food when anyone is having a party!! I can eat the whole tray of eggplant rollitini!!! The best i have ever tasted read more

Had their Pasta Vodka sauce last night (you can order just sauce, and tell your family you made it). So delicious, more than generous portion. I've never had better. Plus, the service I received when calling was outstanding (Ron, I believe) and at pickup, so humble (Christopher). This place would be on my speed dial if I lived anywhere within 100 miles. read more

I was a guest at a birthday party in Nutley. The food was catered by Custodi. I am so happy to say that for the 3rd year in a row, Custodi has done an amazing job. Their food gets better and better every year. The Penne were delicious, the meatballs were mouthwatering (just like Mama used to make), Eggplant Parm & sausage & peppers, fantastic. If I had to say one negative thing it would be about the chicken fingers. I was not a fan. They were dry & hard. But the rest of the food far out weighed the chicken. I would strongly recommend using Custodi Catering for any & all your party needs. The holidays are coming. Don't stress yourself with cooking. Call Custodi. You will not be disappointed. read more

set up was quick & food was amazing! Chris is so helpful and kind. A few of my guests wanted his contact info after being so impressed with the food. Can't wait to use you again! Thanks! read more

Custodi truly is as good as it gets. I hired them to cater a family party with over 100 guests. I was unsure of how much food to order, but both Chris and Ron guided me through it and answered all of my crazy questions. Their menu is huge, with many options to choose from. Prices are very reasonable for what you get. Delivery and setup was seamless, and the food was fresh, hot and EXCELLENT! We ordered a variety of food, from sandwiches to the Italian staples (meatballs, penne vodka), to some seafood, and everything was absolutely delicious. Our guests complemented the food throughout the day. I look forward to using Custodi again for any event, big or small, and highly recommend them! read more

Custodi catered my Thanksgiving and it was absolutely fantastic. I will never take on all That stress again. I took a chance and walked in one day ( it smelled really good in there) and ordered. It was the best decision. Ever. First, they make all food on Thanksgiving, so you are not dealing with cooling down and reheating, which can impact the taste. Since we live close by, my husband picked up our food an hour before dinner and all I had to do was keep it warm in the oven. The turkey was seasoned perfectly, moist and delicious. We don't care for dark meat so I opted for their sliced breast tray and it was wonderful.... I lifted the beautifully carved meat onto the platter. So easy! The gravy was also very well seasoned and flavorful. My family ( all of whom are very good cooks) raved over the traditional sausage and sage stuffing. We also tried the parsley and bacon mashed potatoes, which had an amazing flavor, again, very well seasoned with a subtle smokiness of the bacon coming through and nice chewy bits throughout. The Glazed carrots were also delightful. They were beautifully cooked, tender yet firm, with a delicious light glaze that hinted of brown sugar, cinnamon and maple ( to my palate at least). I also made a few things myself ( yes- I nuked the corn and made green beans ...) My family all cheerfully left with bags of leftovers and called days later to say how delicious everything was. This is a gem of a caterer. They know how to season food and deliver flavor even when dealing with large orders. I am definitely coming back for my next holiday. I can finally enjoy my holidays now.... No more stress and hours of shopping and cooking Thank you Custodi Catering! PS I also think they were a pleasure to work with and their charges were VERY reasonable for the quality and generous portions. read more
