Welcome to Christine's Plates, a heartfelt journey inspired by the warmth of grandmother's kitchen.

Christine's Plates is more than a dining experience; it's a celebration of cherished memories and the enduring spirit of our grandmother's dream.

Awarded Best of Zola
My daughter discovered Christine's Plates for her wedding. We had some disheartening meetings with other vendors. After my daughter's first meeting with Latasha she was able to exhale. Finally she had a vendor that listened to her wants. As her mother I was thrilled. The food was so delicious and the service was top notch. Annie, our coordinator, took all the stress away from us and made my daughter's day magical. Katrina was everywhere! If a question popped into our head...Katrina was right there to answer or find the answer for us. Christine's Plates are professional from start to finish. Our family highly recommends the extraordinary ladies of Christine's Plates.

Empire Eats Catering 

5.0

Raleigh, NC
  • Starts at $60

In our humble opinion, great food and great hospitality are all it takes to make someone feel at home. We pride ourselves on fresh, local, seasonal eats and chef-driven concepts rooted in truth, not trends.

Empire Eats is the best caterer in the triangle. As a former employee, I found that other wedding caterers didn't come close to the quality of Empire Eats selections and ultimately went with Empire despite eating a lot of their food during my employment. Kimberly and her staff always do a fantastic job! Kimberly even helped bustle the bride's dress at cocktail hour!! Everyone at our wedding kept commenting on how great the food was. Multiple people asked about the caterer since they were looking for a caterers.

    Welcome to Mama Gina Catering, an Authentic Italian Food Experience. All my menu items include the most amazing Italian flavors taught to me by my Nana from when I was a little girl. My grandparents, born & raised in Italy came to this country by way of Ellis Island. I loved listening to the stories they told with their Italian friends most of which spoke broken English. All of my teachings were hands on not hand written “little of this & little of that" then tasting until you are happy. To this day that is how I cook because Italian Food is all about fresh ingredients, heart, taste and a deep love of cooking.

    From the very beginning, Gina made us feel like we were part of her family—just like a true Italian “Mama” would! Her warmth, care, and attention to detail were unmatched. She was with us every step of the way, always checking in and making sure we felt supported and stress-free. Now let’s talk about the food—absolutely the best we’ve ever had. Everything was homemade, bursting with flavor, and made with love. You can taste the authenticity in every bite. Her husband Scott brought such a fun and creative touch to the evening with tableside, freshly filled cannolis that our guests are still raving about! Together, Gina and Scott go above and beyond, not just for the couple, but for the entire family, bridal party, and even the vendors. Every single person felt taken care of. Mama Gina’s Catering isn’t just a caterer—they’re a loving, talented team that helped make our wedding unforgettable. If you’re lucky enough to book them, you’re in for something truly special.
