I have had 2 affairs catered by Rocco's Gourmet Catering. The first one was good but the second one they ran out of food. The food was good at both events so I recommended that my sister use the caterer for her wedding. The food at her wedding was horrible. Hardly any was eaten, it was mostly left on their plates. They were married on the beach and the reception was held there. So my sister wanted the reception set up like a boardwalk. She had a photo booth and picked a menu of tossed salad, fruit kabobs, beef sliders, chicken and vegetable kabobs and french fries. The charge for this was over $4000 for 90 adults and 10 children.
The caterers did not show up on time. In fact, my sister, the Bride called from her cell phone on her wedding day after being told from my family that she was not there. My family members folded the napkins and decorated the tables. It was during this time that Liz, [the owner] confessed that she was not even there to oversee my wedding reception. She stated to be that she was 7 months pregnant and could not be there.
I do not eat meat, dairy or eggs. Liz was informed of this and said that she would have 2 vegan meals. My meal consisted of a silver dollar size vegan burger on a roll with CHEESE!! When I told the server that cheese was not vegan the burgers were brought back into the kitchen and the cheese was scraped off. The caterer only brought 2 small vegan burgers and did not make any of the chicken vegetable kabobs without chicken.
Also the caterer did not bring enough food. There were several people still in line when the food ran out. Both the Bride and the Groom waited for their guests to be served and were left without food. Actually as soon as the guests tasted the terrible food no one wanted to eat it! My sister paid for 100 and about 85 came.
There were only two items served by Rocco's Gourmet Catering that were satisfactory, they were the fruit kabobs and the tossed salad. Everything else was cold and tasted terrible.
Luckily the wedding cupcakes were not from Rocco's. They were delicious and well appreciated by the guests.
I am writing this review to warn any bride and groom not to use this caterer. It was a disaster!!!
