Monteverdes Catering 73 Hiland Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15202

"Wow. What an incredible experience! We just had my Daughters wedding and were lucky enough to have Monteverdes Catering in our corner. First, the food: When we went to the tasting, we had preselected a handful of entree's and side dishes to try. They were all amazing, but we settled on the chicken cordon bleu, the carved beef and the stuffed flounder. The side dishes were the garlic mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts and a risotto. Believe me, the items that were not chosen, were just as good as the ones that were. There was not a dud in the rotation! I had told anyone I spoke with that I hoped the food quality was as good at the wedding as it was at the tasting. I was not disappointed. The service: Salads were delivered table side, the rest was a two line buffet. Several servers were working the line and 200 people were served rather quickly. All the sauces and gravies were hot and perfectly paired with their entrees. The sleeper side dish was the brussel sprouts (tip: get it). The guests are STILL raving about the food! Moteverdes also set up and managed the cookie table. Coming from an Italian background, we had almost 400 dozen cookies! Whenever I would walk by it and look, I thought nobody was taking any, but what happened is that the caterer kept it at 100% continuously stocked. Again, silently running in the background making sure EVERYTHING was perfect. They set up and displayed the cake. It could have been in a museum! They also rolled it out for the cutting part of the show. One of the hits was the late night sundae bar. The caterer also facilitated the burger snackbags for guests to grab on the way out. When the reception ended, the team efficiently packed up and dissembled all the take away items, of which there were many! With all the moving parts at a wedding, it was nice to know that Kelly and her team were at the helm. They provided the excellent bartenders, chefs, servers and who knows what else. Any concerns were immediately resolved. There weren't many issues but if there were, they were handled quickly and with a smile and most importantly, were transparent to the guests. I would (and most likely will) use Monteverdes again (and again). They were absolutely incredible! Kelly, if you're reading this, THANKS FOR AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE. You and your folks did an incredible job! The bride was delighted which is all that really mattered that day. I wish you much luck in your new location. I'm hoping I can update this review with a few photos when they are available."

"I could not recommend Kelly and her team enough. The food was delicious and they were so absolutely wonderful every step of the way. I had to make a last-minute switch with my napkins and it was handled so quickly and efficiently. I would have another wedding JUST to have this food again! Affordable, amazing and delicious. I cannot say enough good things about them. Don't think twice - book them !"

"Ordered 200 breakfast boxes for my company's employee appreciation day and it was a big hit. Friendly staff and great food for a super reasonable price. You can't go wrong with Monteverdes."

"Monteverdes catered my wedding on 11/25/2023. The food was absolutely PHENOMENAL. I am still getting texts raving about the food, particularly the custom Ravioli Bar (so good). Kelly was so great in helping us nail down our menu, flexible with changes and so accommodating for our guests with dietary restrictions. She also made sure Ryan and I ate on our day, serving us specifically (just the absolute best). Additionally, the waitstaff at the wedding was incredible. I kept hearing all night about how wonderful the waitstaff was and they TRULY WERE WONDERFUL! They styled a beautiful cookie table, making sure my husband and I had a big box of cookies to take home knowing we'd have a busy night, they packed a meal for each of us to have at home, they brought in some toys for my nephews to play with (what a hit and were so sweet with the little ones period), and just generally, so helpful and made sure our night was as seamless and as perfect as possible. I could go on and on, but thank you, and I'm going to have to make up events just to use Monteverdes again!"

"DONT LISTEN TO ANY BAD REVIEWS! This is by far the best caterer I have ever witnessed. Kelly I believe her name is, has done my aunts wedding, my brothers, and now mine this past Saturday! We were suppose to have an outdoor ceremony with an indoor reception, but it was such bad weather so we had to move inside last minute. The chairs we rented we were going to make into an aisle in the reception room, but Kelly took it into her own hands to set up the whole room herself, and even grabbed our decor in a bag for the chairs and set it up. Didn’t have to do anything but show up. She’s not just a caterer, she’s practically a wedding coordinator if you don’t have one. She’s the best, most sweetest woman! She listens to what you want and is so giving. We were even suppose to have an ice machine at the reception but were told that they didn’t have one anymore, so she brought the ice for us and we didn’t have to pay for it. As well as offering to buy us sparkling juice, but we got it ourselves. If you want bomb food, and someone who actually loves weddings, choose Monteverde. You won’t regret it!"
