    Great Food, Mixed Experience

    We chose DiAnoia's to cater our wedding because of their outstanding reputation and the quality of their food. Overall, the main entrées were delicious, and many of our guests complimented them. Unfortunately, there were several service issues that left us disappointed on such an important day. The biggest issue was that the Spaghetti Sorrentino was served to our guests cold. We specifically paid an additional vendor to provide warming equipment because there was no kitchen on-site, so this was especially disappointing. We also paid extra to have our bread service include whipped ricotta with Calabrian chili oil. We were expecting the ricotta and chili oil to be whipped together as we've had at the restaurant, but instead the ricotta was simply served with the oil drizzled on top. It wasn't the presentation or product we expected, particularly after paying an additional charge for that upgrade. Instead of a traditional wedding cake, we chose a live cannoli filling station because we loved the idea of giving our guests a unique dessert experience. Ironically, neither my husband nor I ever received a cannoli. We weren't even aware the station had opened until later, so we completely missed the dessert we had specifically chosen for our wedding. I do want to recognize Erin, who was wonderful to work with throughout the planning process. She was kind, responsive, and a pleasure to communicate with. Our concerns are with the execution on the day of the wedding, not with the planning process itself. Finally, I was surprised by the attire of the catering staff. They were dressed in jeans and black T-shirts. Given the elegance of our venue, I expected more formal attire. Having previously worked weddings as catering staff myself, even at much less formal venues, our uniform was always white button-down shirts with black dress pants. While uniforms don't affect the taste of the food, presentation is an important part of a wedding reception. We truly enjoyed the quality of the entrées, which is why these service details were so disappointing. Weddings are once-in-a-lifetime events, and I hope this feedback helps improve the experience for future couples.

    Wedding Catering Review - June 2026

    From our first conversation with Dianoia's Eatery, we knew we'd found the right caterer. The team was thoughtful about every detail and easy to work with, answering all our questions without making us feel rushed. On our wedding day, they delivered exactly what they promised—delicious food and drinks that our guests are still talking about. The Cacio e pepe pasta was a standout course, and the Chianti Beef with polenta, Chicken Milanese, and Seafood Risotto were all hits. Everything arrived on time and was served with real professionalism. We can't recommend Dianoia's Eatery enough if you want amazing Italian food and a team that genuinely cares about making your day special.

    Wedding Reception Catering

    We used DiAnoia's Eatery as our catering vendor at our wedding for 200 people in October. When we found out that DiAnoia's was a catering option at our venue, it was the easiest (and quickest) decision made of the whole wedding process. We knew it was the natural choice to serve our large Italian family. The food was absolutely delicious and we received so many compliments from guests about how it was the best wedding food they had ever had!
