I use as a finishing oil drizzled on roast vegetables or for pasta dishes. Frantoio olive oil also has known health benefits! A great antioxidant, reduce inflammation, help with lowering cholesterol and for heart health due to high polyphenols. I'm all for it...a daily tablespoon or two will do ya! If you're a bit more adventurous you can go with the other high polyphenol EVOO of Spanish olives called Hojiblanca. Plenty of options of vinegars and olive oils to sample before you buy. Bought the 18yr old aged balsamic which elevates any dressing and your friend's will comment "how come mine doesn't taste like yours" (evil laugh!) ...quality ingredients make a difference!

I almost never finish an entire plate at a restaurant, but I cleaned mine! Even better, the leftovers were just as delicious the next day after reheating, which is surprisingly rare. The restaurant itself was spotless, and I loved seeing it filled with families enjoying dinner together. It had such a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The service was outstanding - everyone was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind. You can tell the chefs really know what they're doing because every bite was thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. I was thoroughly impressed from start to finish. This is definitely a new favorite, and I'll absolutely be back!!

My husband and I are big foodies and our biggest priority was having good food - Elegant Occasions exceeded our expectations in every way. My husband is extremely picky and has never liked the food at any of the weddings he has been to. With Elegant Occasions, not only do they have a vast variety of menus to choose from, but every item we tried was delicious. My husband loved the food and I, to this day, find myself craving our wedding dishes and wish to travel back in time just to enjoy the foods again. To break everything down, they served pre-ceremony fruit waters. Throughout cocktail hour, the staff passed tray appetizers which were all delicious and received so many compliments from all of our guests. We had stuffed mushrooms, a canape, shrimp, and bruschetta. We were busy taking bridal party photos so the staff coming to serve us where we were was life saving! I looked forward to the mushrooms all day long and I was so grateful to be able to eat a bunch. Again, we still receive compliments about the appetizers to this day. For the reception, we had buffet style which was beautifully set up and quite organized for 100 people. We had the chef slicing and serving tri tip and it just elevated the vibe and made it feel so much more luxurious. I can't say enough how tasty the entrees were. They also set out a fruit and vegetable assortment and self serve drink station - everyone was so well fed and there was plenty of food to go around. Truly, I wish I was a guest at our wedding. The food was so memorable. Other than the food, my personal biggest priority was being as stress free as possible. I cannot commend Gina enough for the support and guidance she gave us. We had several meetings where she helped us plan our wedding from decor to timeline and so much more. I had a day-of coordinator but I do feel that Gina was my biggest support. She has been in the business for over 35 years and has helped with over 8,000 weddings so her guidance and experience was much appreciated. She even suggested some decor changes that honestly made everything look much more seamless. About 90% of our decor was done by elegant occasions and it was just so beautiful. Gina also made sure that my husband and I were well taken care of throughout the reception. All in all, the best decision we could have made was going with Elegant Occasions for our wedding. It was definitely well worth it and we would hire them again and again. We also recommend Gina and her family to all of our friends and loved ones.
