We highly recommend La Piastra to give your wedding reception that special touch that will impress your guests and meet your every expectation. -Josh and Alice Frederich"
“Lauren and La Piastra did a fantastic job with the buffet food at our wedding. She brought a number of dishes to the table to work with our Fall themed wedding, including versions of dishes with and without nuts, great vegetarian options, and a bunch of gluten free options.The buffet from La Piastra was fresh and hot, and very popular with our guests. Finally, Lauren was a champion at communicating with us before the wedding. We had a total of 70 emails exchanged; her responses were always prompt, courteous and intelligent. We hope to have more occasions to use La Piastra's catering, and cannot recommend them more.” -Shaun & Rubina
