Reviews of Pranzi Catering

erica madaus

Pranzi Catering did amazing job making my wedding day a perfect event. From beginning to end they were responsive, accommodating, professional and transparent. Everyone commented on how good the food tasted! Rebecca, My day of coordinator basically ran the show and went above and beyond what I expected of a catering manager. She had a quiet authority and helped to organize a very disorganized wedding party! I would highly recommend Pranzi!

Marissa Feole

We used Pranzi Catering for our wedding on 10/2/2022 at Five Bridge Inn, and they did an absolutely outstanding job! All of the food - from the passed apps to the 3-course dinner to desserts - tasted delicious, were HUGE portions, and were beautifully presented. I cannot tell you how many compliments we have received both on the wedding day and in the weeks after from our guests raving that it was the best food that they ever had at a wedding (and this is coming from a LARGE Italian family who LOVES to eat!!). Bar service and beverages were also fantastic. All of the staff were attentive and courteous. Special shout-out to our day-of coordinator, Michaela, who was a ROCK STAR. She made sure that we stayed on time, helped to set up my decor exactly as I had pictured, AND she even somehow magically found my new contact lenses for me when I happy-cried out of them at the ceremony. :) :) Pranzi also provided the specialty china, napkins, and glassware used on our tables. They have such a huge inventory of rentals and decor. Make your life easy and use Pranzi for your next event!

Thank you Pranzi for the BEST wedding we could have ever asked for. After touring venues last summer during the height of Covid restrictions we gave up on that idea and decided on hosting a backyard reception instead. I have to say I was very unhappy at that time to change my expectations and settled in to find all of the necessary pieces myself. And then I found Pranzi. They had everything we needed in house run by an absolute pro, Lisa. We consulted with Lisa and found out they had beautiful modern rentals and decor, great service and delicious food - all for a beyond reasonable cost in one place. I can’t believe how lucky we got. My family is very busy and having a company like Pranzi was just so convenient. Donna was so accommodating to our requests even down to the last minute brunch we decided to go through with. Our food was fantastic and the tent and decor was beautiful. I ended up enjoying the backyard planning experience more than I probably would with a venue, getting to choose everything custom to build a vision, right down to the napkins! I would definitely recommend Pranzi again and again. Thank you!!

Pranzi is the one-stop shop for all of your wedding needs! We originally scheduled a call with Lisa (owner) at Pranzi to simply be our caterer but after our phone call we realized Pranzi could do it all - cater, event planning coordinating, decor, florist, general wedding advice etc. Event Planning, Coordinator, and Wedding Advice: Lisa is simply fantastic - her commitment to excellent service / delivery in all segments of the business is impressive. As a CPA by profession, I was definitely more of a control freak / overly detailed Bride and Pranzi never let me down. Her and her team are incredibly organized and responsive. I’d call or send an email and would always get a response right away. Lisa even called me on her personal cell phone a few weeks before my wedding when I was stressed / worried about potential COVID restrictions affecting my big day. Lisa’s reassurance that my wedding would be amazing no matter what the circumstances really put me at ease. And she was right - my wedding was so incredibly perfect and seamless!! I honestly could not believe how smooth everything went and how great all of the Pranzi staff were. From the chefs, bartenders, servers and coordinators - they were all so professional and genuinely seemed happy to be there to help coordinate our special day. Food: We went to 6 weddings this year in RI with various different caterers and our wedding food (filet, chicken piccata, gnocchi) was hands down the best. Our wedding guests still haven’t stopped raving about it and wish Pranzi had their own restaurant that they could go to! Decor and Florist: When planning my wedding Lisa asked me what my vision was and encouraged me to search through Pinterest and then send her some pictures for inspiration and that she and her team could basically make anything I envisioned a reality. I ended up with a vision of a winter wedding with unlit Christmas trees at the alter, winters garland on the table with candles. Because Pranzi handled the decor and flowers, everything matched perfectly - even the accents on my cake! Thank you again to Lisa and her team for bringing my wedding vision to life!

Amanda Campbell

We cannot thank Pranzi enough for what an amazing day our wedding was. We were a bit nervous starting to plan a wedding at a venue that was just a location, and from out of state. From the first very first conversation we had with Lisa and her team, throughout the two years of planning and to the final day we were always assured that every detail and logistics would be handled to perfection. We had the pleasure of working with Kelly Jackson as our day of coordinator and we cannot recommend her enough! She helped coordinate the day of schedule, rentals, personal decor, catering and the florals for our beautiful day. Kelly’s calm and positive demeanor throughout the day made our whole process enjoyable and like she was one of our friends helping us on our big day. We didn’t have to think of or worry about anything the day of and she consistently reassured us that everyone would run smoothly and it absolutely did! Throughout the past year with COVID there were a lot of uncertainties for many couples and companies, but Pranzi was right there to answer any questions we had and reassure us that our wedding would be handled. Kelly, Lisa and the whole Pranzi team exceeded all our expectations and we highly recommend them to anyone and everyone!

Julija O'Neil

Pranzi Catering was wonderful to work with! They made my wedding magical with amazing food, beautiful decor, and excellent staff. We lived working with them and would recommend them to anyone planning a wedding!

Angela Cedrone

Now that the dust has settled, we wanted to leave a review for Lisa and Pranzi for the most magical wedding of our lives. The tent was STUNNING, the service from the caterers and helpers - AMAZING, Arolin and Katie - could NOT have asked for a more attentive and on the ball staff. Anything we needed at any moment they were there. All the little details we asked for were put together so incredibly accurate and well. We had our wedding @ Roger Williams Botanical Garden and Pranzi literally transformed the garden and tent into a wonderland. Everyone was blown away. The staff @ the garden said in ALL of the years they have been doing weddings they have never seen the tent look so amazing. The outside bistro area for sitting added the most beautiful and elegant touch. Everything was SO AMAZING!!! So many people came up to us saying it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever been to. All thanks to you LISA and her team. Can never thank you enough!

I hired Pranzi for my wedding. They handled mostly everything- catering, flowers, chairs and the cake. On my wedding day the cake was delicious, chairs were pretty and the flowers and decorations were beautiful. However, there was a major problem with catering. At the tasting we had the steak and salmon. The steak was cooked medium well. The owner and I discussed preparing the food the same way at the wedding. However, on the day of my wedding 6+ plates were returned because the steak was cooked rare. A few people in the wedding party returned their food and still received it rare. One of my bridesmaids didn’t eat at all. A few others said their steak was over cooked . I’m not sure what the issue was with Catering, but this was disappointing and embarrassing and it cost $100.00 a plate . One of the Events Coordinators from Pranzi was there and we discussed the issue. I was told the owner would be informed. I sent 2 emails to the owner and never heard back. I only received a response when I emailed someone on the team. Aside from the issue with Catering everything else was smooth.

Jack Mundy and Elena Perkins

We used Pranzi for both our catering and décor rentals for our May 2022 wedding at Glen Manor House. We had a wonderful experience! We had a lot of moving pieces with our food choices and table scape options, and working with Lisa and her team was great. We really appreciated being able to do everything through one company and everything was set up exactly how we had picture on our wedding day. Fully recommend!

Ling Messer

I first heard about Pranzi from the owners of Tyrone Farm, and when I photographed a wedding there, I was so blown away by the professionalism and care that Nicole and her whole team had! There are just some catering companies that have workers that just don't seem to care about the honor of serving guests and vendors, but I'd have to say that the Pranzi team was so great at taking care of the needs of the guests, and the couple! They also did the cake, and florals, in addition to the awesome food!

Nicole Musco

Our entire experience with Pranzi was like a dream. We are so grateful to Lisa and her hardworking team for throwing us the best party of our lives — our wedding. Food was our number one priority and they absolutely delivered! Now, nearly six months later, our guests still rave about it. They couldn’t stop talking about the Del’s lemonade Pranzi served in pretty glasses as people arrived. The appetizers and our signature cocktail were also a big hit. For dinner, the portions were incredible. No one left our wedding hungry, that’s for sure. From the trio salad to the pasta course (what can we say? We're Italian!) to the mouthwatering mains of lamb, risotto, and chicken -- everything was cooked perfectly and hot. We skipped cake so Pranzi also set up a gelato bar for us. Shoutout to the girls scooping gelato - everyone said they were super nice! When we received our wedding pictures, we were honestly disappointed there wasn’t enough photos of the delicious food. We decided to celebrate the wedding at a private residence and Pranzi took care of every single detail. Through them, we were able to rent beautiful wooden cross back chairs, tables, linens, the whole nine yards. It was an incredible experience to walk into our reception area to see our huge clear top tent, dressed up with twinkle lights and chandeliers. It was magical. We appreciated the Pranzi team coming out to our property multiple times to plan with us and essentially, build a wedding venue entirely from scratch. Admittedly, we were skeptical that a company could do everything well - catering, rentals, and coordination? Pranzi absolutely aced it. Our wedding day was all outdoors on the hottest day of the year(!) yet the entire staff was smiling and friendly the entire time. We had heard so much advice about hiring a separate wedding coordinator but Lisa ensured us that it was unnecessary. She was right. Our day-of coordinator through Pranzi was an absolute rockstar. She made sure we were fed, happy, and never without a drink! We simply can’t say enough good things about Pranzi.

Robert Gallucci

Pranzi was great for my sons wedding over rainy memorial weekend. Weather could not have been worse for an outdoor field wedding under tent. Service and equipment were spectacular. Tents were clean, elegant and top quality. Fully equipped with heat, lighting, dance floor. The bad weather had no effect on the event thanks to Pranzi. Highly recommend. Entire staff a pleasure.

Sergio Ysasis

Excellent customer service representative, very helpful and friendly, big showroom with too many item to use at the perfect day of course your wedding day, thanks to Marissa for be patient and respond quickly a lot of questions. Highly recommended

Cathy B

Pranzi did an amazing job last week with my son's wedding. With the pandemic and the wedding moving from last Sept to May 1, 2021 there was so much uncertainty. With the help of a rental of a private venue and the expertise of Pranzi it was the most beautiful, perfect wedding. Within three months time Pranzi pulled it all together and did a phenomenal job - the food was excellent - the service was excellent and the set up was absolutely gorgeous. Highly recommend Pranzi❤️

Victoria Merritt

Pranzi catered my wedding on the 18th of this month and they were INCREDIBLE. From the start with booking all the way through the wedding Lisa, Donna, and Kelly were amazing to work with. They were there (promptly) with any questions we had, saw (and executed) our vision, and helped make the wedding planning process so much easier. Katie was our Event Manager day of and she along with her day of team hustled and made the day run so smoothly, I couldn't have asked for a better team to make our wedding happen. Thank you Lisa, Donna, Kelly, Katie, and team for making our wedding such a great experience!!!

Carrie Blout

We are so thankful we chose Pranzi to caterer our wedding day. Lisa and the staff were extremely helpful in planning and re-planning the event with COVID. The food was great! The service, including our wedding day coordinator, was impeccable. They helped guide us with everything, gave their recommendations and respected our choices. If we had to make this decision again knowing what we know now, we would definitely choose Pranzi again. They helped to make our wedding day perfect!

Beth D

The staff at Pranzi is amazing! So easy to work with and flexible/accommodating. We've hired them for everything: tent rentals, catering (delicious!), flowers, cakes (also delicious!) for numerous events and they've always done a fantastic job.

Eva Maria Janerus

Oh my goodness… please, please, please… if you are throwing a special event and want it to be amazing… choose Pranzi. Kelly was the most amazing day of coordinator and we were so lucky to have her team. Loved every moment of our wedding!

Robyn Hornstein

It was our pleasure to be guests at a family wedding in Newport, RI, catered by Pranzi Catering. The food was out of this world! Ultimate appetizers were served including perfectly cooked, crispy bacon-wrapped scallops and delightful, jumbo shrimp cocktail. Small plates were available, beautifully accommodating for guests to simply pick up and enjoy. They were filled with prosciutto, a variety of cheeses, marinated artichoke hearts, green olives, etc. Highlights of the dinner were filet mignon, cooked to the appeal of almost every steak lover and stacked, farm-to-table, vegetables that were flavorful and not mushy. The combination of the elegant decor, delicious food, professional & accommodating wait staff, came together to create a perfect, memorable event. The decorations were elegant and tastefully done, setting the stage for a classy, festive wedding. I am looking forward to hosting a future event, just to book Pranzi Catering!

Marie Candiotti

I had Pranzi cater my wedding reception. After having to postpone due to a family emergency, o found them to be very flexible and professional. I did not lose any money that I had already paid. They were EXTREMELY accommodating to my husband’s family from Peru, making sure there was Spanish-speaking staff to communicate with them and making sure they were comfortable. I 10/10 would recommend for any event- their results are above and beyond what I could have dreamed of.

Christina Ryan

I have used Pranzi for many different types of events over the years and I cannot sing their praises enough. From top to bottom, their staff has been outstanding in helping my family create events that were delicious, memorable and personalized! We constantly have guests raving about their food... especially their beef tips in burgundy sauce! They always help plan for more than enough food so nobody goes hungry. Lisa and her team are great resources for every aspect of an event- even beyond food! They are a one-stop-shop and I couldn’t be happier to write this review and urge you to consider them for your next gathering, whether big or small!

Doherty-Schmeck Wedding

Wow wow wow...still amazed by the incredible work and food! We are beyond grateful to everyone at Pranzi for their incredible work from Lisa to Laura to Nicole to the entire staff. They blew us away with the attention to detail and caring about how my new husband and I experienced the day. We actually ate during our wedding due to their coordination!! The only thing I would change was the schedule but that was my own choice and add another heater outside for our venue! We also had their DJ (Mike) who did a fabulous job! Thank you to Pranzi and all their incredible team members for making our wedding day spectacular! Highly recommend!!

Cheryl Marini

I was an employee at Pranzi! They run that business like clockwork! Lisa and Nick are the owners and they have an impeccable reputation in the catering business. I wouldn’t have any other company plan my events. They are very professional and on point to every detail. They will be catering a reception event for my son who just recently got married out of state and I am very much looking forward to them doing the event and I have and will always call them! Cheryl 🎉🎉

rosanne ricci

Unbelievable catering company, simply the best. I went to a 60th anniversary party, not one thing to complain about from the appetizers to desserts. The meal was fantastic, the waitstaff was fantastic and the anniversary/wedding cake was to die for, in other words FANTASTIC! I only wish I was planning an event so that I could hire them.

Jim Abbaticola

Pranzi has proved to provide an exceptional array of successful events that have been staffed, catered, and coordinated by owner Lisa Mattiello and her team of hardworking individuals. I will continue to be impressed by their growth and success over these many years of attendance.

Marie Cavanaugh

I just attended a wedding at Glen Manor in Portsmouth catered by Pranzi. I found their stsff yo be top notch, the 2 female bartenders were terrific. The food optiond were chicken, fish and vegan, all were cooked well, could have been a little hotter, and the staff was efficient with water and rolls replacement. The wait staff was very pleasant, and the wedding itself ran smoothly. I would recommend Pranzi for a catering event.

Amanda Brooks

I have used Pranzi multiple times for catering events at my work and they are friendly, accommodating and punctual. The food has always been delicious and served hot. I highly recommend them.

Mary Jane Smith

My daughter's wedding was a wonderful day .Their showroom is very nice for planning, ideas, and the company offers a variety of services . The food at the tasting was excellent. The wedding was a beautiful event. The tent looked great and the food was excellent. The sweetheart table & guest tables looked really pretty and the lounge furniture & photo booth were both a huge hit . I was disappointed with event manager on day of the wedding. She was present but not aware . Attention to detail was just average. Although the staff was friendly, the onsite communication with venue was lacking. The heaters in the tent were never turned on and it was very cold. The event manager should have NOTICED the room was very cold, and at least attempted notify someone to assist with the situation, but it was ignored. A guest assisted with the heaters on his own, the situation could have been avoided. Although the food was excellent not all (75 )guests received their meal warm and both the bride & groom had to send send their food back to be heated. They needed more servers. The smaller flower pieces (the parents wristlets) were child size and wilted (that is being generous).

Tony Zelano

I call them and had great service and the process was easy. All the food I ordered was fantastic.

I was a late addition to a wedding taking place in midst of "quarantine" season and I have to tell you I could not have been more satisfied by the efforts of the staff assigned to take care of all who attended. From the choice of gluten-free, vegan and carnivore appetizers, the cocktail hour could not have been better. The servers were quick to empty a tray and return with a fresh and full one. All neatly displayed on the polished stainless steel tray. There was buffalo cauliflower, roasted mini potatoes, a coconut crusted chicken, chocolate covered strawberries and dumplings, something for everyone. The spinach salad spritzed with cranberries and apple slices to start the meal was as good as it gets. As for the main course, I had requested the filet mignon fully expecting just an overcooked piece of meat I would have gotten at a diner. I couldn't have been further from the truth on this. What I was served was a filet that melted in my mouth like it had been prepared at a 5-star restaurant and not a tent in neighborhood backyard. I am not 100% on this but I believe it had a maple glaze and cracked peppercorn seasoning. It was complimented with an assortment of nicely arranged vegetables. I also can't say enough good things about the staff, they were quick to refill a water pitcher and diligent without being imposing when it came to clearing plates for the next course to be served. If you have an event coming up, this is definitely a company to reach out, from what I experienced I doubt you'd be anything but impressed.

Megan Marie

I attended a wedding this weekend catered by Pranzi and everything was absolutely perfect! The food was excellent, the service outstanding & proper covid guidelines were maintained. Not only was the food excellent but the decor was beautiful! I highly recommend Pranzi!

Shauna Castro

I’ve had the pleasure of using Pranzi for multiple corporate events. I’ve always been blown away by their attention to detail, quality, and excellent customer service. I would highly recommend Pranzi to anyone planning an important event.

marianne levesque

Attended many events in which Pranzi has catered and all of which were excellent. Food amazing and serves always exceptional. Would highly recommend them for ANY event, you won’t be disappointed.

Albert DeQuattro

First class operation. Well managed. Good food. Very good about making your event a memorable. I have used Pranzi catering many time and never was I and all who attended not satisfied.

Danielle Whitaker

Pranzi always goes above and beyond with their events! Fantastic food and service, and amazing decor/tents/rentals. Lisa the owner is amazing and so helpful, whatever you need she is there for you!

Elizabeth Didone

To all those who know the owners know how much work and dedication the whole family puts into their business. I am awed at the wonderful job they do. There is always going to be some selfish petty person who tries to ruin things. BUT YOU CANT THEIR A STELLAR COMPANY . HERES TO MANY MANY ENJOYABLE YEARS TO COME.

Gregory J. Rice

I have worked alongside Pranzi numerous times (as a DJ) and have nothing but positive feedback to give! They are the real deal; the premium name in catering and event production. No one can do it better, period! Bravo!

Nelson Pedro

Awesome catered food and service. They have EVERYTHING you would need for any event. Big or small they will take care of you. I even called with a small last minute function and they were very accommodating.

Mark Feldman

Pranzi’s food and service has always been top notch! The professionalism and care the staff has is way beyond what was expected. Everything was just awesome
