100% recommend!!

Baratta's catered our wedding last week AND served as our venue (Forte) - and we can't say enough great things about our experience. We worked closely with Michelle and Nick while planning our wedding. They made everything super easy and always made us feel so comfortable and excited for our big day. I would 100% recommend working with them for any event. Also, the food was AMAZING. We received many compliments from our guests. Thank you, Baratta's staff!!

Baratta's catered our wedding and we could not have been more thrilled. My guests couldn't stop raving about the food and Michelle made the entire process easy and stress-free. From the tasting to the Big Day, Baratta's was professional and easy to work with and I would reccommend them for ANY event!

Wonderful food, amazing service, incredible value!

We hired Baratta’s for our wedding on 9/11/22 and everything was amazing! Not only was the food great, the price point was very reasonable and service was even better! Michelle had worked at our venue many times before and I think that made a huge difference in everything going smoothly! Would definitely recommend hiring Baratta’s if you’re on the hunt for a caterer!
