Ordering was a breeze and the B&M team was very responsive. On the day of our event, the catering delivery was right on time. The gentleman delivering, Dwayne, asked for a bit of direction for placement and then set up the entire buffet. He was professional, kind and fun to chat with while he set up. But the food... the food was phenomenal. Everyone kept saying we needed to order from B&M again. We did the clambake and it seemed the favorites were the clam chowder, the lobsters, the mussels and the cornbread but everything was great. All the extra pieces were included too, which was really helpful - from forks/knives to seafood crackers and ladles for the soup. We also had a shellfish allergy and they were able to accommodate - everything was cooked separately. I can't recommend them enough - they made hosting a fun party so easy and it will be a meal remembered for years to come.

Not one complaint about anything. The steak tips, Mac & cheese, lasagna, bbq spareribs and chicken just to name a few were a big hit with everyone!! Delivery went smoothly with an awesome girl (sorry forgot her name) you set everything up!! Guests actually wanted to take food home with them, which they did. I would highly recommend this caterer and will definitely use them again!! Thank you B&M Caterer for making my daughter's baby shower so beautiful

D&D Catering is truly exceptional! They catered our wedding…read morein 2021 for over 200 guests, and everything about the experience was elegant, seamless, and unforgettable. It was a full sit‑down evening wedding at an outdoor tented venue with multiple menu selections, an abundance of passed hors d'oeuvres, and a beautifully customized menu. They came onsite, were incredibly fun and easy to work with, and every single staff member was friendly, kind, and professional. The food and service were outstanding. We've been waiting for the right opportunity to use them again and finally had the chance in April 2026 for our son's second birthday party, a 90‑person daytime celebration that was a completely different vibe from our wedding. Once again, D&D absolutely nailed it. They were so versatile and thoughtful, fully embracing our Mickey Mouse Clubhouse theme while executing a perfect New England cookout. And yes, they even got the split‑top New England buns right for our "Hot Diggity Dog" hot dogs, which did not go unnoticed! Beyond the amazing food (which is always beyond delicious), what truly sets D&D apart is how they treat you. They are professional, accommodating, and take incredible care of their clients and they build real relationships the kind that makes you want to keep coming back for all of our celebrations. We trust them completely, feel heard and cared for every step of the way, and cannot recommend D&D Catering highly enough. From elegant weddings to joyful family celebrations, they do it all and they do it beautifully.

A friend told be you cannot go wrong with Ralph's catering in Cranston. I have to admit she was right. Mia the scheduler returned my call very fast and immediately emailed their product.

But the big surprise was the night of the event not only was the food more than we imagined but the staff was polite and genuinely seemed happy to help in anyway to make the occasion perfect. and it was - everyone raved over the food and the staff.

I worked with the owner, Dave, to coordinate and figure out a menu and all the details (and I had a LOT of details for him!). He and his manager Tyler made it happen and it went off without a hitch. Not only did they cater a 100 guest buffet at an outdoor venue at a park in October, but they made food that was not even normally on their menu. We had asked if they could make some specialty Greek food for our wedding (my Wife's family is Greek), and Dave enthusiastically took it on. For weeks after the wedding, our guests kept mentioning how delicious all the food was. Even my wife's side of the family, who know authentic Greek food. We had souvlaki, rice with tomato sauce, potatoes with oregano, "village" Greek salad, and a bunch of other delicious items. Of course we had to include the world famous potato chips w warm gorgonzola gravy (which is on their normal menu). Warning! That gorg gravy is addictive. The food was absolutely what we wanted, the service was exquisite, and the presentation was super sexy! I highly recommend TCG for your event, big or small!

So, I would like to think I know the ins and outs of the industry, definitely not off premise catering which is I know is completely different. I just need to tell you how incredibly impressed I was with the Pranzi team. From the very beginning working with Chelsea was a dream, she was professional, prompt, and helpful. This event was the first of its kind and I had never worked in Rhode Island before. It is also the first event at the hotels we used as they typically do not do events. I found Pranzi in my search, and they seemed like the right fit and they certainly were! Melissa and Jarrod were with us each day for breakfast and lunch and as soon as I met them, I knew they had everything in control and in place. Melissa was thoughtful, gave us help determining the best for set up and kept me informed as needed throughout the day. Jarrod was a very nice, helpful man and always willing to help and very kind. Our evening events with Erica as the lead and with Erica and Jen on night 2 along with their team - Jonathan, Emily, Jennesey, Michaela, Joe, Jeremy, Joscan and Brent. Wow ! They made us shine. What an amazing group of wonderful people who are amazing at their jobs. I had many conversations with all of them, and the conversations ALWAYS came back to how much they love their job, they love the company and said that the owner takes such good care of them. I kept telling them I was going to move to RI so I can work with all of them again and host more events ! I could go on and on. I am highly, highly, impressed by their operation, their team, their offerings and not to mention the food was delicious and the presentations were all beautiful. We got so many compliments from our attendees. With gratitude - Carla Ryan

I unfortunately had a very disappointing experience with Pranzi for my wedding catering and tent…read morerental. The biggest issue was the lack of communication, preparation, and coordination leading up to and on our wedding day. The event coordinator I was assigned from the beginning was pregnant and due to give birth about a month before my wedding. While I completely understand that circumstances like this happen, there should have been a proper transition plan in place. Instead, I was informed of a new coordinator only ONE WEEK before my wedding, and I did not actually speak with or meet my new coordinator, Rachel, until the day before. At that point, it was very clear that nothing had been properly communicated or transferred over. Unfortunately, this resulted in complete chaos on our wedding day. Tables were set up in the wrong order, place cards were not placed correctly, a significant amount of our personal decorations were never put out, and the floor plan was incorrect. Rachel also completely mishandled our ceremony processional. She had the bridesmaids begin walking out while the groomsmen's song was still playing, completely throwing off the timing and flow of our ceremony entrance. This was something that should have been coordinated ahead of time, and it was incredibly disappointing to have such an important moment handled so poorly. The lack of preparation extended to basic catering necessities as well. Pranzi did not bring trash bags or paper towels, and they did not provide steak knives for guests who were served the steak meal. These are extremely basic items that I would expect a professional catering company to have prepared and readily available for a wedding. The coordination itself was also incredibly frustrating. Rachel took very little initiative and seemed to have very limited problem-solving skills. Multiple times, she would ask me if I wanted something handled, I would say yes, and then it simply would not get done. As the bride, I should not have had to spend my wedding day tracking down my coordinator and making sure basic tasks were being completed. One of the most disappointing moments was after our wedding speeches, when we went to do our champagne toast and realized that the bride and groom's champagne glasses had not even been filled. Something that should have been such a simple detail was completely overlooked. I understand that weddings are large events and that things can go wrong, but what was most disappointing was the sheer lack of preparation, communication, initiative, and problem-solving. These were not just minor details that we could overlook. We trusted Pranzi with a very important day, and unfortunately, the execution did not reflect the level of service we expected. I reached out to the owner, Lisa, to share my experience and give Pranzi an opportunity to address what happened. Unfortunately, and not to my surprise given the lack of communication throughout this entire experience, she has not responded! If you are a bride considering hiring Pranzi for your wedding day, I strongly encourage you to proceed with caution and ask detailed questions about who will be coordinating your event, how transitions between coordinators are handled, and how you can be assured that every detail will be communicated and followed through on. Based on my experience, I would not recommend relying on Pranzi to manage the details of your wedding without extensive oversight and written confirmation.

Most recently we had stuffies (HUGE!), clam chowder, lobster rolls and turkey dinners. Not all at once, separate visits. :-) Reubens and club sandwiches are great here, too. Turkey is not deli meat, its real deal carved. Seafood is pretty darn good/fresh. You can, at times, get a clam-less clam boil. A customer fave is the boneless fried chicken. The other night we saw some delish looking chicken croquettes go by. Cole slaw: never swimming in mayo nor dry. Butternut squash is one of my favorite side dishes. For those inclined (not I), beets are on menu. Decent salads. We see nice looking desserts go by but have never ordered any. Strawberry shortcake seems to be a favorite. The chicken parm is very good, although nothing beats home made. Steaks/chops here are also worth trying. Prime rib is to die for! Tender and know that rare means rare. Sometimes they are a little short staffed but such is the restaurant industry. While clean, the place could use a make-over. Kind of dark in there, too. Only had a disappointing meal here once (of all things corned beef & cabbage). Due to only one off overcooked to death meal, I said nothing and pretended I was not hungry. Wait staff here are efficient, kind and welcoming. Every day they offer specials, good variety. It is also one of only a few that offer rolls/butter before your meal.

That at night time is lit up. Looks extra special. Service was you know OK? It wasn't the best I've ever had from a venue like that, but it also wasn't the worst. The bartender was absolutely amazing. She went out of her way to make the special drinks that were meant for the bride room. She never really rushed anyone she was really on top of her game. I wish that it gone all the way down the road when it came to things, but I was at my best friend's daughter's wedding reception and that's all that really matter to me. I wouldn't go again having experienced what I did. The appetizers were very good. They had bacon wrapped scallops, big shrimp and also like a wrapped cheese quesadilla that was delicious. I wouldn't exactly say the same same about the main course unfortunately, when they were serving the appetizer of the lemon sorbet they had run out before they served everyone so myself and two other people at my table did not get any. I did steal bite of my husband, and that was delicious. Then the next course which was the main course, my husband, salmon was warm, just like the gentleman next to him, but they both complained that they were very dry. We did ask for a lemon, and the young fellow told us that he didn't have any and I guess we couldn't go to the bar to get it, but they didn't offer it. Then the food came out for me and it was cold and it had a gravy on it. It was supposed to have been marinated grilled chicken and shrimp, but the shrimp looked poached. It actually looked like it came from a shrimp cocktail. It was big, but it was not grilled or anything wasn't marinated. The chicken was very plain looking at stuff so I did ask them to take it back cause I can't eat the gravy and things I'm dieting and I can't have any extra stuff so like gravy, etc. it also came with some vegetables. The carrot was delicious. It was cooked but again everything was very cold. They did take it back. Brought me one with no gravy but again it came and the shrimp and chicken was still cold. The potatoes were hot, but I can't eat potatoes. I can't have rice on the plate as well. I can't have rice the vegetables. I ate them because it didn't matter if they were cold or hot they're supposed to be OK. But I was kind of disappointed in the fact that this great meal of this beautiful wedding was not anything like I thought it was going to be. Then they did bring out this really cool dessert a little ways along the road is really cool dessert it has it was like a flaming sorbet type of thing I had ice cream and tropical covered strawberries and like a soft sauce, that was very pretty. I ate that and I took a couple of other people's chocolate covered strawberries. I took others so I had those. It was just kind of disappointing. I really was the venue in the reviews of stuff I saw. I really kind of thought that it would be a little bit more higher quality at least than it was. But again, the bartender made some really good drink so I think we can count on that or somet
