Ken and his crew are amazing. I contacted Pompillios after my grandson and his fiancé were having trouble finding a reasonably priced caterer for their wedding. Ken did a fabulous job even though the venue was 1-1/2 hours from his location. He suggested entrees that would travel well, he arrived on time, set up and was ready to serve when guests were scheduled to eat. The food was delicious and hot. His staff is friendly, accommodating, efficient and easy to work with. Many guests commented about the delicious food. I highly recommend you consider Pompillios and Ken for your next special event. You will not be disappointed.

Pompilios catered our rehearsal dinner and did an excellent job! We worked with Ken Rouse who was easy to work with and always provided a prompt response to our questions. They coordinated directly with our venue which made for a very seamless event. We would highly recommend them!

Ken and his crew are excellent! As you plan your day, you will coordinate everything with Ken, Pompilio’s Catering Director. Ken is very easy going and so easy to work with. He made sure to have everything in order for our special day from the servers to the bartenders. Everything went so smoothly! We had so many comments on how excellent the food was, the 2 options for our guests were Chicken Parmigiana and Chicken Fettucine Alfredo.

We are so glad we used Pompilio's for our wedding catering! Ken was great from the start - friendly, easy to work with, and so helpful on the day of! The food was good at our tasting and our guests were complimenting it at the wedding, too. Ken and his staff helped with place settings and dismissing tables for dinner. Their packages were affordable (catering menu is on their website), too. I would highly recommend Pompilio's catering to anyone!

Our daughter's wedding was postponed from 8.29.20 to 5.8.21 like many others due to covid. Everything had to be moved. Ken and team at pompilios were fantastic! They were scheduled to cater the rehearsal dinner. They were helpful, understanding and supportive-everything we needed at the time! I am happy to say rehearsal dinner and the wedding last week went off without a hitch! Ken ensured we had enough ordered for everyone - especially their amazing risotto balls (huge hit). The food for rehearsal arrived timely, it was delicious and hot! There was plenty for our guest and everyone complimented on the quality! The service was outstanding. Thank you Ken and team for making the rehearsal dinner nothing short of amazing!

I used Pompillios to cater my rehearsal dinner. Ken, the catering manager helped me pick the perfect package for us and the pricing is very reasonable. Ken showed up on time and set-up all food and helped with clean up. Everyone thought the food was so yummy especially the chicken parm and cannolis. I would 100% recommend them for catering and will use them for events in the future. So good!!!!
