We enjoyed working with Popolos so much! They were so helpful, attentive, detail-oriented, and professional. When my husband and I had to change plans, they always supported and accommodated our request. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to cater their event!

From day one Popolo Catering and their team went above and beyond for us. They responded quickly, we’re very accommodating and were friendly. They helped to make our wedding day special and stress free, they’re serving staff was fantastic. We received so many compliments from our guests about how delicious the food was. I would highly recommend

This past weekend I had a class reunion. It was a small gathering so I opted to pick up the food. Everything was packaged nicely and fit perfectly into the chafing dishes I had. Everyone thought I had made the food but I didn’t take the credit. The tri tip was tender and the scalloped potatoes were out of this world. Everyone commented on how good the food was. Thank you Popolo. You made my event a success.

So delicious and affordable! We were so impressed with the meal and the tasting! Popolo made sure that we were satisfied!! If we didn’t like something at the tasting they made sure to change it to exactly what we wanted. They went above and beyond. Their customer service was professional and responsive. They were easy to work with and our other vendors were grateful for them as well!
