Gallucci's Catering - Tacoma, Washington

Gallucci's did an amazing job catering my wife and I's wedding earlier this year. We were able to bring two family members to a complimentary tasting that was a lot of fun and helped us narrow down our menu. The day of they were punctual and able to adapt to the changes to our seating and guest list. Every dish they served was fresh and delicious. Catering was by far our biggest expense of the wedding but we definitely got our money's worth and then some with Gallucci's.

Gallucci's was amazing to work with for our wedding this past May. The communication from Adrielle was wonderful and she was great at answering all of our questions to help us get ready for our big day. The tasting was very helpful for us and come the day of the food was amazing! Many of our guests were telling us how delicious everything was. The staff the day of was flawless and really helped our day to go as smooth as possible.

We used Gallucci's for our wedding and we could not have been any happier! Leading up to the wedding they were very helpful and responsive. Our tasting was great and really helped us fine tune the menu we wanted for the wedding. They did a great job pivoting to help accommodate a few last minute changes that needed to happen to our table layouts and really helped us have peace of mind in the final stages leading up to the wedding. On the day of, our food and drinks were amazing! In addition to the normal bar, we added the Italian cream soda bar and it was a hit. The staff was very friendly and everything went seamlessly! We had so many guests comment on how awesome the food and catering as a whole was. Thank you so much to Brad and the whole Gallucci's team who helped make our day so special!

We weren’t too impressed with Gallucis catering for our big day. One of the biggest disappointments was their bartending service. The bartender did not follow the recipes we provided to them for our signature cocktails. The drinks turned out either too sweet or too sour or too diluted. Many of our guests commented on the fact that drinks were NOT good, which was so embarrassing. I would NEVER use them again for bartending services. Also we paid for a buffet style dinner (100 adults and 20 kids). Our total count of guests was only 106 people including our vendors. Out of 106 at least 1/3 were kids. We were sent home with 2 small boxes of food that was left over from the wedding which tells me they didn’t make enough food for the total count of guests we paid for. Also, it is really sad that the best part of the food was the pasta. The chicken and steak were dry and lacked flavor, the salad didn’t have any dressing on it, and the rolls tasted old. Lastly, some of the employees were very nice and accommodating and others had no idea what was going on (assuming they were new) the employees were not on the same page. We ordered gluten free pasta for some of our guests and some of the employees were telling our guests that they didn’t have gluten free pasta when in fact it was in the kitchen. With the amount of money this company charges for their services their standards should be much higher!

Just make sure you ask all the questions, do your research on what to ask for as well. They don’t really go out of their way to break down the menu for you, offer a tasting, or what you’re responsible for. Even though this was our first time hiring a caterer, we thought there would be some kind of guidance but instead was gaslit every time there was a miscommunication.

We had no choice but to go with Galluccis as they are a preferred caterer of the venue we got married at. I noted the event was for a microwedding, which only small plates and desserts are allowed. So considering the fact they should be familiar with this venue, you’d think they would reach out and correct us for any choice that weren’t conducive. They should have immediately told us no but they approved the initial proposal/outline. A few months out, the even coordinator told us we needed to redo our menu.

We paid over 2k for small plates and desserts for a party just under 25. The quote for the traditional buffet was actually cheaper!

There were no alcohol provided which I was confused about. During confirmation a week before the event, they asked if I were providing my own liquor and beer and that was never mentioned prior. We hired a bartender and drink service, so I assumed that would be included with our price/quote. I wish all of this was communicated from the beginning and not a week before our date. At that point we had zero time to configure the alcohol situation and took that loss.

We paid for the bartender to essentially hang out and do nothing. We understand our quote was more pricey due to the stuffed crab mushrooms but they were TINY! I asked if this would be a sufficient array of small plate to feed everyone and it was just so underwhelming and sad. I expected the warm apps to at least be warmed, but they weren’t. The fruit tarts were so tiny and old looking, it was just so beyond disappointing.

Could not have picked a better caterer than Gallucci's! I don't think you will find better quality for the price point. Many of my guests told me it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. They were so flexible and helpful, allowing us to customize our menu exactly the way we wanted to, and the staff was so professional and friendly on the day of. It's also nice that they handle renting all of the linens and tableware for you so you don't have to do it yourself, and the vendors they use offer lots of options for a beautiful and customized wedding day. They were extremely responsive and communicative and I'd recommend them to anyone.

Top notch catering and a wonderful experience! Gallucci’s Catering provided the most fabulous reception and dinner service for my son and daughter-in-law’s wedding at Lakewold Gardens. The guests raved about the incredibly delicious food. From the start of planning to the day of the wedding, Gallucci’s was totally focused on providing the best experience. Even down to the details, my son was so impressed that they provided the sauce he requested during tasting. We were in the absolute best hands—a great partner on the wedding planning journey. Thank you, Gallucci’s Catering!

We had the pleasure of working a wedding this past weekend with Gallucci's. The manager for that day was Maria. She was time efficient, communicated flawlessly with vendors, and (most importantly) was respected by her staff. Great leadership leads to great service; Maria and her team did both. The bartender for that wedding was professional and fun to work with as well.

The food was delicious! The pasta salad we had was one of the best we've had!

Looking forward to working with your team again,
