Maria's Ristorante & Pizzeria

DO NOT USE CATERING SERVICES

Where to begin. We called and placed a catering order 5 days prior to our baby shower. When placing the order we asked if they would deliver and they told us the delivery fee was $20. From the restaurant to our venue was literally less than 5 miles. Once we brought up that $20 was a large price with the very short distance the guy on the phone then told us he would charge me $2… I felt like they were trying to rip me off… So the day of the baby shower came and the shower started at 12p and food was supposed to be delivered at 1145a. 1155a came around and I called the restaurant to see where our food was and they explained that their cook didn’t see the ticket and that it would be another 10 minutes and offered us 20% off. I decided to go to the restaurant myself. I told them I would not pay more than 50% due to the fact I had 52 guests at my venue with no food. After a chat with a cook (because no manager was at the restaurant) he called the owner and they agreed to the 50%. 1239p I am still waiting for my food at the restaurant. Which is way past the 10 minutes they had told me. I asked another gentleman to check my food and it started being brought out to me at 1247p, an hour and 2 minutes past the expected delivery. When I get the food to my venue none of the rolls had been cut for sandwiches. So myself and my pregnant wife used plastic ware to cut all the rolls for our guests. Then they only provided us with 22 dressings for salads for 52 guests. The chicken tasted bland with zero seasoning, I’m sure due to them rushing it. This was a total flop. I’m hoping the owner reaches out and makes things right. Horrible experience.
