Cefalo's Banquet and Event Center — Attraction in Carnegie

I had the pleasure of having two major events at Cefalo’s, my wedding reception, and a milestone birthday party. I would do both again. Dean, Amy, and staff are amazing to work with. They’re professional, accommodating, friendly, and honest. When we were planning our wedding reception, we found we had some extra money we were willing to spend. We asked Dean for suggestions. He gave us examples of things he “could sell us”, but told us he thought our choices were perfect as they were, and that he wouldn’t add a thing. I think other venues would have been happy to just keep adding to the bill. Cefalo’s atmosphere is unique, while being warm, inviting, and friendly. As for the food, one word – incredible. Pittsburgh has numerous five-star restaurants; they all pale in comparison. Guests from both events are still giving rave reviews. To be honest, I’m not sure if guests came to the birthday party to help celebrate, or if they come for the food. Both events were flawless. There are absolutely no regrets.

I don't think I've ever waited that long for a drink in a busy bar in the south side... but his colleague always noticed me waiting, and jumped in to assist me- she even remembered my husband and my drink requests! I don't recall her name, but she was a lovely woman and I appreciate...

We booked Cefalo’s for our reception. The space is beautiful, the staff was excellent, and the food was delicious! I never thought we’d be able to get the reception of our dreams with our budget, but Dean, Amy, and their crew made our reception dreams come true. I would recommend Cefalo’s for any event, 10/10. They were so easy to work with and made our reception an easy, breezy, beautiful event. Our guests kept telling us how cool the space is and how amazing the food was, especially the crab cakes, teriyaki chicken skewers, and bruschetta. And they have a full bar, which our guests...
