We recently hosted our school's end of year celebration here, and everything was excellent. Joe and Susanne were wonderful to work with throughout the planning process. Susanne always responded quickly, answered our questions right away, and made everything feel easy and stress free. The venue was beautiful, with amazing skyline views, and the service was outstanding. One thing our guests especially appreciated was the variety of food options available. There were plenty of choices to accommodate different dietary needs and preferences, which made everyone feel included. The food was delicious. The chicken marsala, baby potatoes, broccoli rabe, and steak were all excellent and received many compliments from our guests. The drinks, atmosphere, and overall experience exceeded our expectations. We received so much positive feedback and many people commented that it was the best end of year event we have had. Thank you to Joe, Susanne, and the entire team for making it such a memorable celebration. We look forward to working with you again in the future. read more

Exceptional caterer, dare I say best in the city!! Susanne is an absolute angel and SO VERY GOOD at her job, while Chef is wildly talented and both continually expressed genuine investment in ensuring our big day went perfectly - which it absolutely did!! Food quality and service were 10/10 (coming from a family of hospitality professionals) - and our wedding guests still raving about food / best wedding menu ever!! read more

Tasty Creations caterers (LCI) was great from the very beginning. I spoke with Susan and she was very informative and helpful. The food was delivered to Medina Hall-my party venue- on time and hot. The food was setup neatly and precise. The food was delicious. There wasn't any compliants. My family and friends was excited to take the left overs home. I applaud Tasty Creations and I look forward to doing business in the near future. read more

We can't say enough about our experience with LCI Caterers. From our first email more than a year before our wedding they were so welcoming, responsive, and warm. Susanne, who was our main contact throughout the process, is tremendously organized and communicative, and Joe and his team are experts in food and hospitality. At our tasting, Joe and Susanne gave us great suggestions to tweak our menu, and welcomed our feedback. Renting table linens and coolers for our bar through them was also a breeze, removing a layer of stress from planning. Not to mention, LCI's rates for their excellent service were more than fair, and we really appreciated their price transparency on their website. On our wedding day, the food was just as good if not even better than at our tasting. Several guests approached us to give their compliments about the meal, and my family who works in hospitality was particularly impressed by the level of care paid to every detail, down to the sparkling clean silverware. One of the best moments for us was seeing the entree Joe made for our vegan guest, who was nearly moved to tears by how thoughtfully it was prepared! During cocktail hour, the passed appetizers came out at a steady pace, and I'm pretty sure the last table called was up at the buffet before my wife and I even finished our plates. We spotted plenty of guests going up for seconds, too. As for the bar, the bartender was friendly and quick, and he executed our signature drinks perfectly. On top of that, it was great to see how seamlessly the LCI team worked with our coordinator and the venue. Great food was one of the most important aspects of the wedding for us, and LCI more than exceeded our expectations. We can't thank them enough for helping to make our day so special! read more

Where do I begin?! LIC was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding this past weekend. Susanne and Joe were so helpful throughout the planning process, from our first initial conversation, to our tasting, to our wedding, and everything in between. We stayed in touch for months to ensure that everything went smoothly on the day of and that all details, small and large, were in place. We had hors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour and a buffet for our reception dinner, and everything we ate was incredible. Our guests stopped us multiple times throughout the night to compliment the food, some even saying that it was the best meal they've ever had at a wedding. The coffee and homemade desserts were phenomenal and I wish I took more photos! The bar was impeccable as well, they were able to accommodate our drink requests to have a few of our favorite beers and Cold Brew Martinis as our signature drink, that our guests absolutely loved. The staff was super friendly and inviting, making our guests feel right at home. As the bride and groom, they always made sure we had a plate or drink in hand and didn't even have to think about it. Their setup and breakdown was prompt and seamless, which helped us not stress over how it all came together. We would recommend LIC for all of your event catering needs and would love to work with them again in the future, or attend another wedding where they're catering. :) Thank you again for an incredible evening! read more

Music and food were definitely a priority for our wedding and Joe surpassed any expectation we had in regards to the food and open bar. The process of setting up at the venue was seamless, the food was to die for and the open bar was a success. Joe and his son went above and beyond to make my wife and I happy in every sense of the word. They are so incredibly thoughtful and they truly care about the customer service they are providing. You can taste the passion they have through their incredible food. Everything was so delicious, and everyone at the venue had only great things to say. A text from one of my bridespeople: "Please save the caterers number. Maybe someday, someone will want to marry me and I can look forward to that chicken again :)" We had the angel hair pasta - SO GOOD. Chimichurri steak - AMAZING. Chicken and chorizo - WOW. Slow roasted pernil asado - LORD JESUS! Arroz moro and vegetables - JUST FAB. Open Bar - A1. You guys truly made an impact. Thank you for your hard work and dedication! read more

LCI was amazing! In terms of working with the team, Susanne was incredibly responsive and so accommodating to all of our requests. Joe accommodated everything we wanted in terms of food and drinks. They were always looking out for us and would provide recommendations that would fit our budget and our vision. Our guests raved about the food (one guest even tried to recreate a dish the day after) and the service they provided (setup, room flip, cleanup) was seamless. I would highly recommend using their services to anyone! read more

We hired LCI to cater our wedding and had such a phenomenal experience. Joe and Susanne were great to work with and made sure our entire day went smoothly from start to finish! From the day of our tasting almost 2 years prior, we knew they were the right choice. All of our guests complimented the food, passed appetisers, and the bar! In addition to the food and drinks, they assisted us in setting up and breaking down the venue and flipping the space from ceremony to reception. We also rented linens from them. LCI was all we could have dreamed of in a catering company and we were SO GLAD we chose them for our wedding! read more

See all

My husband and I hired LCI caterers in the 6 weeks or so before our wedding which was in September 2021 as our previous caterer was flaking out on us. Joe and team were extremely accommodating through the whole process of selecting items for our cocktail hour and buffet, especially given the short time frame to make all the arrangements. They were always quick to respond to email and phone calls and were so patient with our many many questions. Their catering staff was very professional and Joe came to the venue as well on the day. The food (we chose mostly classic Italian dishes) was delicious and we received many positive comments about it during and after. I especially like the chicken Marsala and francese! I would not hesitate to hire this company again for a future event. read more

We couldn't have more great things to say about Joe and LCI Caterers. We had the pleasure of chatting with Susanne in the planning stages and she was incredibly helpful, communicative and friendly. At our tasting, we felt like we were sitting down with good friends and they made great suggestions - not only to the food itself but the timeline, alcohol and general run of show. On the actual day of the wedding, Joe himself showed up several hours early and his team was ON it. We got married at the Greenpoint Loft and they clearly have this all down to a science. They made sure to keep myself and my husband's glasses full the entire time and brought us our meals and made sure we eat (which was much appreciated!). Thank you so much, Joe, Susanne and the entire LCI team! read more

I was an extremely nervous bride who had no idea what I was in for with booking a venue that needed all vendors to be brought in separate. Joe and Susanne made every step of the way comfortable, enjoyable and overall, an extremely positive experience. They worked with me on my budget and changes and were there to support. Not to mention every single person complimented the food to me about how delicious it was. I cannot recommend this family business more!!! You will be in AWESOME hands!! read more

We used Joe and the LCI team for our wedding a couple weeks ago. We were so happy with them from start to finish. They had so many options, they let us try so much at our tasting, they were professional and incredibly helpful. My husband and some of his family members have Celiac disease, and they were able to accommodate us very easily - providing many gluten free options. We ended up providing our own alcohol and using LCI's soda bar option, and their bartenders served our alcohol, including two custom cocktails. They assisted us with all our additional table rentals, and everything went very smoothly day-of thanks to them and their staff. Susanne, who helped us with all the admin work, was without a doubt the most responsive vendor we worked with for everything wedding related, which was incredibly helpful! We would recommend them to anyone getting married in the New York area. read more

I called LCI on a recommendation and was soooo happy I did! Susanne was an amazing help me from start to finish! Her kindness, immediate attention, and caring about my daughter's bridal shower made it all the smoother, easier and less stressful. Joe's nephew (Joe is the chef) dropped off the food on time and quickly set up before the guests arrived.  He was very sweet and super helpful. Who knew keeping hot food in a cold oven kept the food warm?!  I will always remember this helpful hint! I will be recommending LCI to my friends and family. I look forward to LCI catering my next event in the near future! read more

LCI catered for my summer party this past weekend. The staff was exceptional, the food lovely, and the responsiveness of their team in planning this event was more than I could have asked for. They were very accommodating given that I'm hosting out of a NYC apartment and they made it work all around. I plan to use them again! read more

I found LCI Caterers through google last November. I was responsible for securing the food at the Holiday Party of my workplace and leaned heavily on good Yelp reviews to make sure the caterers were trustworthy. LCI had great reviews and after booking them I know why. Joe worked with our nonprofit budget to feed 200 staff members. He delivered promptly and even provided staff. Staff were great, they helped with serving and clean up. The food was good - I even heard some of my colleagues say it was the best they've had in decades. I would certainly consider LCI for future events - they deliver, and are an all in one caterer which is helpful. My thought is that the per person rate can makes things pricier, but like I said Joe is an italian family man - he will work with you. read more

Long overdue review here, but my wife & I got married on September 18th and had the absolute pleasure of having the LCI Caterer team service our wedding. Initially reached out to them after being frustrated with a few potential food vendors & can't state how fortunate to have found them in what was an admittedly frustrating search looking for the right vendor. From the beginning, the whole LCI team made it easy for us in terms of booking. They are reliable, they are prompt and most of all they take GREAT pride in the quality of food they provide . Every one of our guests were raving about how amazing everything was. Even a month later while reflecting, my wife & I still think about how lucky we were to have been able to secure these people who are not only amazing vendors but amazing people who will ensure they deliver the best experience for you. Thank You LCI caterers!! read more

Everyone at LCI caterers are amazing. They catered our wedding last month and we could not be happier. The planning process was smooth, seamless, and stress-free (if you can believe that for a wedding). They really helped make the process so easy. We really enjoyed working with Susanne, Joe, his son, and all his staff. They were so kind and attentive throughout the wedding, making sure my husband and I had our food and constantly checked in with us. It was a magical night thanks to them. Our guests enjoyed the food and the selection of appetizers, entrees, desserts, and drinks. I would love to work with them for any other events I plan to have in the future. We are so grateful and will always keep them in mind! read more

Joe and his staff did a great job for our wedding. Food was delicious, and wedding staples like penne and carved sirloin were mixed with fun, interesting apps like lamb gyro sliders. Joe was receptive to our needs, but he also offered tips and recommendations on dishes, which was really appreciated. Moreover, our hall was really uncooperative at times, but Joe was unfazed and simply worked around the obstacles. Very reasonably priced for the quality and care you get at your event. His staff were very professional and friendly. My wife and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Thanks, Joe! P.S. -- The cannoli-making station was also a huge hit! read more

Joe and the LCinc. Catering team provided an awesome presentation to prepare for one of the most diverse groups of medical professionals, with an evening of delightful food infused with flavors that exhilarated the palet. Thank you for demonstrating your professionalism, attention to detail, and culinary skill. We will definitely use your company for future medical conference events. Michelle Harris read more

Joe and his staff are awesome!! He did a BBQ for us and it came with everything you could imagine, the came and setup, cleaned up, served it was great!! Plenty of food and leftovers!! All of my guests were happy and full! He also catered a friends party and the food was delicious!! There is nothing Joe and his team can't handle!!! read more

LCI Caterers made our wedding feel so special. Susanne helped organize the cocktail hour and reception, which made the wedding flow so smoothly. We were busy going around and talking to guests at our reception, but the staff made sure we both got a plate with everything so we wouldn't miss out on the delicious food. I highly recommend LCI Caterers for their professionalism and wonderful service. read more

Amazing staff food was excellent. They took care of all my needs for my party. Would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing catering company! read more

Professional, courteous and delicious food! What more could you ask for? I had a gathering with a Spanish/Mexican theme and Susanne & Joe took the time to work with me to get the perfect and most cost efficient menu. The food arrived hot and fresh and was a big hit and the delivery people even helped me set it up! Besides the hot food being excellent (Pernil, Paella, Arroz con Gandules, Buffalo Chicken Wings and Chicken & Sausage Scaparello to name a few) the hero sandwiches were superior. I ordered chicken cutlets and cold cuts and they were all overstuffed with extra meat and were presented really well--they came in nice-sized triangle chunks in plastic containers and were very manageable to put out and eat....just one of the highlights of the order! Thank you LCI for making my party great! I would definitely use them again...my highest recommendation! read more

Within a week notice, Susanne and Joe help put together a full dinner for our closest family and friends for our wedding. We had to make last minute changes to venue, they responded quickly and took care of everything on their end without causing us any extra worry. In addition to the food they were able to set up and break down our venue, bartend and make sure we were able to enjoy the meal as well. Each guest I spoke to picked out something different that they ended up loving from the dinner. I definitely recommend the crab cakes, empanadas, the steak with the chimmichuri and the crowd favorite LIC mashed potatoes. It wasn't the typical wedding food since we were able mix and match from a vast menu. Joe was at the venue through out the night and made sure his team ran everything without an issue. We had an excel sheet of many caterers but LCI ended up being the best choice in terms of pricing, response time, and most importantly the food. I cannot recommend this vendor enough and hope to have them cater an event of ours in the future. read more

Joe and his catering services are both fantastic. LIC caterers provided the food for backyard wedding for 115 people. We went in for a food tasting on a whim, and put down a deposit 45 minutes later. Pros: Joe is a nice guy! He is friendly and made the process fun and worry free. He was flexible with the menu items, and gave suggestions that made sense for us (rather than what would make him money). The most important part - the food was fantastic! Everyone seemed to enjoy their meal. I'd say one of the most important things was his delivery team. They stayed to plate some apps for us, and set everything up during a very high stress time. They also brought some addition plates, napkins, silverware, and serving spoons that we were not expecting. Finally, the price for quality and quantity was astounding. It's really worth the money. Cons: None that would keep me from using Joe's services in the future. But, due to his quality food he is REALLY busy and sometimes there were delays in communication. In fact, Joe is so busy he still hasn't charged me for his services a week after the event! But, I did get the sense that if I really needed to talk to him, I could find him. Finally, if Joe's delivery guys are any indication of the quality of his waitstaff, I'd definitely hire his servers next time. We had servers from another company, and we found 4 trays of food the next morning that were never put out for our guests :-( read more

If you want a caterer that does more than you could ever hope for... Please hire Joe My now husband and I were looking for a good caterer that would please our picky parents, appeal to both our cultures (My husband is Mexican and I am Dominican) as well as our American co-workers and friends. We looked at several caterers but when we met with Joe we knew he was the one! The tasting was everything we wanted and more and Joe seemed super knowledgeable and had experience with our venue (26 Bridge) everything we could want.... He helped take our vision and create a menu that was beyond all our expectations including ALL our favorite things!! And kept us within our budget which we both thought would be impossible to do, but it's Joe so of course he makes it happen. Joe is an amazing caterer but he was so much more than that for us! Joe was always available to me over the phone or via email no matter the time and no matter how anxious I got (and trust me I am a worrier!) he always had a solution!! Joe even spoke to me on his way to his vacation because we were a month away from our wedding and he wanted to make sure I was okay with the menu. Joe was able to fix problems that even my coordinator said "there is nothing you can do"... Joe would come in and say "we can fix that!" Two days before the wedding our bartenders canceled on us!!! One call to Joe and problem fixed!! We needed more tables last minute... Joe fixed that! AND THE FOOD!!! DELICIOUS!!! All our guests raved and complimented us on the food and everyone left full and happy; and remember this our picky family and everyone was happy!! .... Everything that my hubby and I wanted for our special day. But Joe's amazingness does not end there, after the wedding Joe heard that with all the running around we did not get to taste everything, and he offered to cook for us so that we could taste what we had missed at the wedding .... WHO DOES THAT? JOE DOES!!! If you want a vendor that goes above and beyond that does not stop at just food... and truly cares about the success of your big day please please please pick Joe! No one else will do!! read more

We cannot say enough about the team at LCI Caterers. HIRE THEM! You will not regret it. They worked with us for our wedding - which happened to take place the weekend before the COVID/quarantine lock down started. Everything felt so overwhelming but Joe and Susanne were constantly checking in, helping arrange changes when we had to cut out guest list in half and were so patient and kind to work with. The food sells itself, but everyone who came said how delicious it all was. Joe helped shape our menu to suit our needs and it was beautifully served and plentiful! The staff who was working the wedding were all excellent. Thank you! read more

Joe and his team were phenomenal! I had so many questions and not only were they answered, I got recommendations that saved me financially. They really treat you like family and the food - THE FOOD - is to die for. Joe really knows what goes together to please the pallet of very picky guests. My mom was light headed before walking me down the aisle so someone from the team personally brought her hors d'oeuvres to make her feel better. My next big event will HAVE TO be catered by Joe/LCI. read more

I reached out to Joe to do our wedding after being floored by his delicious food at our friends' wedding the year before. Everything about working with Joe was amazing from beginning to end. He spent a lot of time with us at our tasting, answered all my crazy emails in a timely fashion, stayed til the bitter end of our wedding -- and made me feel like family. Having him do our wedding helped me relax -- he's been in business for a million years and can literally do this in his sleep! We opted for the buffet for our wedding at Bat Haus in Bushwick (where Joe has worked plenty of times before) and it was a huge hit! Having good food at our wedding was the most important thing to me and LCI Caterers did NOT disappoint. We had everything from soup to nuts -- two types of salads, two types of pasta, chicken, a sirloin carving station, pork, salmon, veggies, potatoes. For cocktail hour, we did four types of passed hors d'oeuvres -- the samosas, caprese on a stick (my FAVORITE), pulled pork sliders and bacon-wrapped brussel sprouts (also my fave). Joe also so kindly threw in a chorizo with pineapple skewer, which was so so tasty. My guests are STILL raving at how good the food was (which is a huge relief because nothing's worse than a wedding with crap food). Added bonus: We had so many leftovers, that we ended up feeding our extended family (with four kids) and then froze some containers for later! Joe and his staff were so professional and courteous. They managed to solve a few snafus (running out of drink cups, having no cake plates, etc.) with little fuss. One of the servers was so sweet that she even made sure my husband and I got enough to eat during cocktail hour and made us plates at dinner so we didn't have to wait in line! And the bartender was so friendly and quick with a pour! Joe is true a neighborhood guy who treats you like an old pal. He's flexible, works with your budget and is organized and on top of his stuff -- all important qualities when you're crazy busy planning the most important day of your life. I can't recommend him enough. Thank you! read more

LCI made my son's bar mitzvah the elegant affair that it was. They were hands down the best vendor I worked with for the party. They worked really hard to do exactly what we wanted, accommodating a vegetarian guest of honor along with a mostly meat-eating crowd. We had salmon with lemon and dill sauce, polenta medallions with tomatillo sauce, fresh pasta with vodka sauce, two kinds of mini quiches including a goat cheese and caramelized onion tart, a refreshing fennel salad, roasted veggies, and a mac & cheese bar for the kids. It's a month later and I'm still hearing raves from my friends about the food. They were also seamless and so easy to work with, making everything easy for me, and remarkably affordable as well. I can't wait to use them again. This is my first Yelp review ever - that's how much I care about Joe and LCI. read more

Luigi's Catering has provided consistent great service for the company I work. We throw different cultural and memorial events throughout the year. Whether it be Cinco de Mayo and we need fajitas, or a Spanish event that requires pernil/empanadas or July 4th and we need hamburgers, Luigi's has our back. The food is delicious and tailored for our clients. Joe is a pleasure to work with. If you want reliable service paired with friendly voices/faces and great food, these our you caterers. read more

I just had the pleasure of working with Joe and his team at a wedding this weekend. I was the coordinator and at a venue where you need to bring in all of the vendors it is so important that each vendor plays their part. Joe was above and beyond and a great asset to the party. He and all the rentals were on time and early and everything was set and ready to go ahead of schedule. I was able to make a plate for myself and if the great service wasn't enough , the food was fantastic! His team was courteous and professional and great allies on the vendor side and contributed to an amazing wedding ! I will definitely be recommending him and look forward to working with him in the future! read more

LCI Caterers absolutely did above and beyond what was asked of them. During covid times we got a cocktail hour added to our wedding ceremony a week before our big day and they were so willing to accommodate. Within a days time, a week before the wedding, we chose a menu and coordinated the schedule and payment. Our guests were none the wiser that this all was planned in 7 days, and they were RAVING about the food. Everything was fantastic, from the spectacular event, the options served, to the service itself. I can not recommend this company enough. read more

What a wonderful company and owner. Joe was incredibly friendly, professional and helpful throughout the entire ordering process. He was extremely communicative regarding delivery, and making sure I knew everything that would be involved and everything I would not have to worry about, so that I could focus on my event. The food was delicious. Everyone at my shoot raved about the meatballs. Joe went above and beyond. I couldn't get enough of the pasta a la vodka. Luckily, there was plenty, plenty of food. I would 100% request their services in the future, and have already recommended them to friends. read more

Joe and his team are beyond amazing! We hired them for our 2020 wedding - they were extremely flexible with all the changes for our 2020 scheduled and 2021 rescheduled events at Greenpoint Loft in Brooklyn. Our guests were blown away by the quality of the food- people keep talking about Joe's penne ala vodka! Their service, overall responsiveness, and flexibility made wedding planning easy. I can't recommend these caterers enough! read more

Amazing Food, Amazing Service!! Our Healthy Path Foundation event standards are food needs to be healthy, but taste good which many caterers have trouble with...and of course use a mix of organic, non-GMO and local ingredients. They checked all the boxes and this is the second year we used them and the compliments just keep on rolling on. Thanks as always...and you be hearing from us again next year! read more

Hire Joe Cutolo! This was probably the best thing I ever did towards the success of my wedding. Apart from being an excellent chef and caterer, Joe really helps and works with you to get your perfect wedding. He is very organized, methodical and honest. He had LOTS of useful advice apart from catering (wedding cake, wine, desserts, centerpieces, linens, program, photo booth, decor, venues- he's been in this business for over 25 years!) that my husband and I are so grateful for. All his advice was ON POINT. His staff was also wonderful and very professional. The catering cost is beyond reasonable. I am very satisfied with LCInc Catering. You get so much more than just awesome catering. Thanks Joe and staff! read more

Joe and the staff at LCI Caterers were wonderful to work with from start to finish. Joe helped us create a menu our guests would love by providing us with a food tasting and making great recommendations. (Tip- attend the food tasting on an empty stomach... you'll want to taste everything!) out menu was a mic of both American and Latin dishes....Joe reassured me that the latin dishes would taste authentic and he was right! Joe and his staff were available by email/phone and always responded quickly. After our wedding, the guests raved about the food! All the servers were so friendly and the food was delicious! Special shout out to our personal server Lisa... she was so sweet and  attentive with us throughout the evening. The bartenders were also engaging and friendly. The evening flowed nicely and everything was perfect. We highly recommend LCI Caterers and hope to use them again in the future. read more

Joe and the LCI team catered our wedding reception in April 2017. They did an exceptional job!! From the first time meeting Joe, he treats you like family. He is always available to answer questions and man can he cook. When we went to speak to him the second time to pick dishes for our event and book a tasting, Joe went straight to the kitchen and cooked us some great samples with whatever he had lying around. The samples were so great we had to add them to our menu and it was a good thing we did too because our guests loved all the food. Especially the lasagna, pepper steak and LCI Special Mash Potato were incredible. After the tasting and picking all our dishes I started getting a little nervous about the cost, but Joe's pricing is unbelievable and unbeatable. Joe's team at the reception were phenomenal!! They went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly even with all the obstacles that occurred with my venue. They helped me with setting up the wedding cake and cake cutting with no problems even though that was not their responsibility. With all the running around, it was a pleasure to get back to our table and they had our food was waiting for us (including appetizers which were served during cocktail hour). They even came back to us repeatedly to see if we needed or wanted anything else. At the end of the night, they packed up the left overs and had it ready for us to take home. I can't say enough good things about Joe's team. They really do go all the way to make sure everything is perfect. My wife and I were so happy with how everything turn out at our event. Thank again to Joe and his team. Steven & Angelica read more

Joe and his team were incredibly professional and helpful... not to mention the food was fantastic! I organized a small event for my company and was so happy to find LCI Caterers who helped me to pick the perfect passed appetizers and had a lovely display of champagne for our guests. I'm incredibly happy with the service the team provided for us and would easily recommend to anyone looking to cater an event . read more
