Kate and her team were incredible! From planning and tasting to the wedding day itself, everything was professional, smooth, and stress-free. We did full-service catering (food, wine, rentals, staffing), and they truly handled it all--even taking the trash with them at the end. Our guests (and even the venue manager) kept saying the catering team was the rock star of the wedding. Highly recommend! read more

We hosted a holiday party for 325 people and hired Esposto's to cater the buffet dinner as well as provide tables and linens. They absolutely knocked it out of the park! From the beginning communications to the culmination of a spectacular event, the entire team was amazing to work with. The Esposto's team was wonderful to work with, so responsive and so organized. I am so grateful! The catering team who came to support our event the night of was nothing short of amazing. They were on top of everything working like a well oiled machine. The food was absolutely spectacular and plentiful! I would highly recommend them for your catering needs. We will definitely be using them again! read more

They did an absolutely amazing job for Dad's celebration of life! It has been a pleasure to work with the entire time, and everything they did today was perfect! The food was amazing, and everyone commented on how fantastic everything was. I am so appreciative. read more

I can't say enough good things about Nicole Chenoweth. I work for a concierge company and I had a last-minute request from a client for catering for 20 people. From the moment I called and spoke to Nicole, she was a pleasure. I told her I was running around and I could not look at the menu and asked if she could put something together with the request that our client made. She picked out exactly what we were looking for. The client that I work with only gives minimal information so there was a lot of back-and-forth and she always got back to me promptly. She had to add things and take away things. But always got back to me with a positive demeanor. She is permanently on my roster for a go-to for catering. Thank you again, Nicole for making this such a seamless task! read more

Food is delicious! Wonderful to work with and always flexible with my many requests. I love working with Ashley!

Occasionally, my job caters food at the office and this place is always a hit. The food is usually pretty good and it is affordable for an office. read more

I am sorry to have to write a negative review on our recent experience using their catering services. Ashley was very wonderful to work with. She was patient and professional and made adjustments Along the way as we needed. We had them cater a baby shower, and it was a ballpark theme. Miguel was great in setting up the food, but that was all that was good. The food was really bad. Dried out hot dogs and unappetizing looking and tasting mini corn dogs. Oversized sandwich rolls which were too large of the hotdogs and not tasty. The salad had a lot of brown greens and the dressing was oily and unfixable. The coleslaw was good and so were the chicken nuggets. But overall the prese tetion amount and quality of the food was extremely disappointing. I will say they responded to my follow up email and requested a live conversation.But two weeks later, that still hasn't happened. I asked for an adjustment on what seemed an exorbitant cost for what we got, but no reply....yet. Sadly, I cannot recommend them and will not use them in the future. read more

A must for Mediterranean in South City. Food was excellent and the servers were attentive and kind.

Thanks for catering our Breakfast at Tiffany's bridal shower. Everything from the food quality, delivery, setup was so easy. The delivery is well worth it. I found Desi amazing to work with, I changed the menu three times. They accommodated with no hesitation to ensure I was happy and within my budget. The guy who delivered ( I forgot his name). I want the team to know how amazing, efficient and nice he was. He informed me of party rental, on site servers and menu planning services they provide. I can't wait to use them again for my next event! I even referred them to our office for corporate catering. Espostos catering has quality food and customer service all wrapped up in one convenient way! Can't say thanks enjoy for an amazing overall experience! read more

Esposto's Catering - Thanks for catering our Breakfast - Caterers Near Me - South San Francisco, California

They catered my grandfathers funeral reception last week and the food was amazing. We loved the vegetarian lasagna, the fruit salad was beautiful and the service and presentation were top notch. Great value too, which is hard to find in the area these days. We love Esposto's!! read more

Hello, my husband company had you cater for them. The food was great just wanted to check if you make the dinner roll or do you buy it somewhere else? read more

Our office used them for a taco lunch buffet and people were pretty happy. Loved the seasoned chopped chicken, and the ground beef was good too. Plenty of toppings including a roasted corn/squash mix that went a step beyond the ordinary. Warm tortillas were good. And plenty of chips and salsa for snacking. Not super gourmet, but it was flavorful, good quality, fresh, and generously portioned - should please most everyone. read more

My mom died suddenly and we had to put together a classy reception on short notice. We'd contacted several recommended caterers and Kate was head and shoulders above the others. She was on vacation out of state, and replied quickly to my call - - over the weekend! We were able to organize a flavorful and varied buffet including gluten free items. The food was plentiful, flavorful and exactly as we'd hoped. Esposto's was reliable, communicative, and allowed us to relax at our reception. read more

Our department have monthly staff meetings and we always try new vendors to cater our meals. I ordered from this place before for a retirement party and we were happy with the food. I had high hopes for this choice of menu...but was utterly and extremely disappointed. I ordered the Hawaiian picnic package that consisted of Kalua Pork, Huli Huli Chicken, coconut rice, grilled corn and rolls with a side of either Asian Cole slaw or Ono potato salad. I choice Ono potato salad...which we never got. Omg...where do I begin? Me and my co-workers enjoy food...in fact that is our #1 topic at work...we all love food. And the typical sandwiches and pizza for our meetings were getting tiresome...so let's try something new. And what we got was...."ughhhh....smh" I thought Kahlua pork was slow cooked wiith a smoking taste sometimes served with cabbage. The Kalua pork we got was smoothered in a sweet chili sweet and sour sauce. Blahhhh.....The Huli Hulu Chicken was swimming in bbq sauce. The chicken looked like they were previously frozen. The coconut looked ok at first, but was overly sweet. The coconut shaving and pineapple added to the sweetness. They gave us a cucumber salad that had tangerine's and coconut....again too sweet...and a weird combo. This meal is a diabetic's nightmare. My sugar levels just went up recalling this meal. The only thing that was decent was the hawaiiam bread, which you can tell was packaged bread, and the grilled corn. After our meeting, my fellow co-workers and I had to get a second lunch because the food was horrible. read more

These guys were GREAT! We did a holiday party with omelet bar and carving station. Food was awesome. Presentation was perfect. Staff was extremely helpful and pleasant to deal with. Kate was very easy to work with - professional with an easy manner. Highly recommend them! read more

I recently had my moms 75th bday catered by Espostos and they were excellent! I'm a full time photographer and have dealt with my fair share of event staff / caterers / vendors and for once I guess I was the point of contact for them...and they were wonderful in communicating with me throughout the evening asking where to put things, how things should look, etc. The venue messed up our linen order (12 linens for 15 tables?!) and fortunately Espostos was able to help with a few table linens that matched the existing black table linens perfectly. Arrived early, left the kitchen clean, and provided great service before, during, and after the party. Thanks so much! read more

The best of the best in the Peninsula. Great food. Always on time. They never let me down.

We had catering from Esposto's Catering for our monthly meeting this past week and it was probably the worst food I've had in awhile. Our colleague had ordered a Hawaiian menu of barbeque chicken, kahlua pork, coconut rice, and macaroni salad. First of all, there was no macaroni salad. They presented some odd concoction of cucumber and mandarin orange salad with coconut flakes. The chicken in no way resembled proper Hawaiian bbq. It was dried out chicken breast that was swimming in regular barbeque sauce. The kahlua pork had some odd hot and sour sauce on it. It did not have the smokey flavor that traditional kahlua pork is supposed to have. The coconut rice was overcooked and too sweet because the coconut milk overpowered the rice. Most of our team just ate the roasted corn and Hawaiian bread that came with the catering. After our meeting, we headed straight to a Mexican restaurant nearby because we were still hungry from not eating most of the food. I would hope that a catering company would do some research about what is proper Hawaiian cuisine. I would never use this caterer again. read more

So they finally came in and did their tasting... The continental breakfast items had a funky freezer taste to it. You know how when you leave bread or something in the freezer too long it has a funky taste? Yeah... the muffin tops had that weird taste... The bruschetta was kick ass but extremely calorie heavy. The entrees were pretty cookie cutter and tasted like cafeteria food. Someone must have grabbed salt instead of sugar - the cookies were extremely salty! read more

Excellent catering service! Having a meeting in the office with some big wigs calls for a menu with a little more flavor other than cold sandwiches or pizza. We decided to call Esposto's who we had used for smaller office gatherings and only for cold platters. (Very Yummy also) I was very amazed that this place pulled it off. They presented the food very elegantly and was very flavorful. We ordered the Chicken Marsala (Chicken Breast w/ Mushrooms in a Marsala wine sauce), Sauteed Seasonal Vegetables, Penne pasta dish, plus rolls & butter. The chafing dishes kept all the food a perfect temperature. I will definitely use them again. read more

3 words: AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!!!!! I used their services a few years back and remember them being good. I almost forgot how good they are. Today, they catered for a 300 person company picnic. They were wonderful all around! The picnic started at 1230. They were there at 1030am to set up. They were on time, super friendly and helped with all kinds of craziness. I can't remember how many times I thanked them for helping me with other things that had NOTHING to do with what they were serving. Items included: refilling drink buckets as they got low, finding bowls/platters for chips and dips I brought, finding suitable areas for the drinks and for cookies. Helping me get heavy items in and out of the cars. NOW onto what they were hired to do: cook delicious food, keep the food trays full, make sure everyone got what they needed, were super professional.. the list goes on and on. No one saw how helpful they were to me but that's ok. I make the calls when it comes to catering and I saw how they were. The most important thing is that everyone at the picnic LOVED the food. They had plenty of vegetarian options and were really good about keeping things separate. They worked with what we had (trust me.... it wasn't easy) and never missed a beat. In short, everything... was just about perfect. Good job Espostos! read more

Got Espostos to cater a networking event for work and it exceeded my expectations! I ordered the Cuban sandwhich, eggplant pesto wrap and a Asian chicken wrap and it was all sooooo good. They came with potato salad and brownie for desert. Huge portions and amazing flavors. Def would use again. read more

We used Espostos Catering for our wedding and we could not have been happier. Kate was great to work with from the start and made the whole process easy and fun. The food was absolutely amazing and we received so many compliments from our guests. They provided all the linens and the table settings looked beautiful. The staff was great and we have absolutely no complaints! Thanks for making our wedding day beautiful and delicious! read more

We just used Esposto's for sandwich trays and salads this past weekend. The food was ready on time, they even called to remind us it was ready. The sandwiches were tasty and the salads were really good especially the potato salad, I could eat that daily! The sandwiches didn't have onions on them though...no onions (allergies I guess)? That's a shame because I love onions. We would definitely use them again. read more

It was my first time ordering company lunch catering from Esposto's, and we were all delighted with their food and services. Gina from Esposto's is really helpful and friendly, so as the delivery and catering setup guy called Lian (if I did not remember it wrong...my bad!). They provided full buffet trays and setup services, as well as pick up service afterwards. They kept the food in a professional warming unit and the pasta was so fresh, hot and yummy! YES, if one is doing pasta delivery, they should guarantee it is hot upon arrival, and Esposto's definitely deliver well, more than expected! Lasagna tastes good and full of vegetables and mushrooms. It does not taste too rich at all, which... it was all emptied and no leftover! Esposto's is already on top of our pasta catering list and we all look forward trying more pastas from them. read more

We served Esposto's Chicken Toscano at a recent gathering for 25 and it was met with great reviews. Generous portions with delicious fresh mushrooms, artichoke hearts and sun dried tomatoes. Paired with the Classic Green Salad was a perfect match. Everyone was a delight to work with and we will definitely be a repeat customer. read more

Just got catering from this place for our company lunch, and its horrible! The only thing that was good was the bread. All the items tasted very bland, and they didn't even have Parmesan cheese on the side. They definitely need to add more flavors to the ingredients, or at least put some salt. Here is the list that we ordered: Chicken Marsala Vegetarian Lasagna Eggplant Parmesan Sautéed Vegetables French Bread and Butter (The Only thing that was decent) Just warning all the yelper's out there, if you like bland food, this place is for you. read more

Esposto's has been catering events for our family for over 30 years and we recently hired Esposto's to cater our wedding at Stern Grove in San Francisco. They did a magnificent job in providing amazing food, service and event coordination. We worked with Gina to put together a menu and the only difficult part was deciding which kind of food to provide since they offered so many delicious things. They provided all of the linens, dishes, cutlery, and servers and their rental prices for additional items were very affordable and good quality. Everyone loved the cheese display during cocktail hour and my guests still talk about how much they enjoyed the food. Stern Grove is a difficult place to host a large event because it requires a lot of work, but Esposto's made it easy for us and knew the location well. The staff was very polite and efficient and I highly recommend Esposto's to cater your event. read more

Used Espostos for private home catering for a birthday party and highly recommend them. Worked with Kate Maciel, Catering Manager who was very accommodating to menu modifications due to dietary restrictions and was always prompt in responding to questions and requests. Ordered appetizers (lamb pops, chicken empanadas, phyllo shrimp and stuffed mushroom) and main meal (cranberry salad, chicken marsala, sea bass, ravioli, sauteed vegetables and rice pilaf). The food was delicious, quantity provided was good and guests got to take left over home. Delivery and setup was prompt and we didn't have to worry about anything. The food was hot and ready to be served. Assorted rolls and butter came with the main menu. Guests enjoyed the selection and commented how delicious the food was. We will definitely be using Esposto's Catering for our next event. read more

We had our wedding catered by Esposto's and we were very glad that we did. The food was delicious - from the appetizers to the dessert! Our guests are still talking about how good the food was. The staff was super sweet and very accommodating. We loved working with them from start to finish. We will definitely remember them and consider them for our future events. If you want great food at reasonable prices with excellent professional service - Esposto's is the caterer for you. Our menu: ceviche shots, Cajun chicken bites, mixed baby greens salad, chicken diavolo, Italian-style braised beef, penne pasta in a creamy Alfredo sauce and assorted veggies. Palate cleanser: mango sorbet. read more

As a loyal regular customer of Esposto's Catering, they never disappoint. This past Saturday night they catered an event for me. It was a Monte Carlo night and we decided to have food stations. The knocked it out of the park! I work solely with Kate, and it was her vision as to what to serve and the presentation. Mashed Potato Bar served in Martini glasses, carving station, amazing dessert bar! But the highlight of the evening was the Stir Fry station served in Chinese Food to go containers! The line never stopped. Everyone was happy! Thank you Esposto's and thank you for your crew but especially Kate, she is "Simply THE BEST"! read more

We used Esposto's Catering for a recent reception after a memorial mass for a family member. Kate could not have been more helpful in making appropriate menu recommendations based on the time of day and type of event. We ended up with a hot pasta dish, antipasto platters and roasted vegetables with biscotti and lemon bars for dessert. David delivered the food, set up the linens and buffet table, beverage station, etc. and remained throughout the event replenishing the hot dish and monitoring the beverages. He was a huge help. Everything was perfect and the guests were very complimentary of the food and the overall service. I would not hesitate to use this company again and would highly recommend them for any type of event. read more

Used Espoto's this weekend for a graduation party for 80 people at our home. I was a bit nervous at first because I had a bit of a hard time getting responses or what I considered complete answers from the office but it all worked out great. My server was Celeste and she was phenomenal. When she arrived she completely took over the prep and literally took things out of my hands and said that's what she was there for. She was great with the guests and everyone commented on her professionalism and helpfulness. Definitely worth the extra few dollars to have her there. Food was good and plenty of it. Would use them again and request Celeste!! read more

Espostos Catering is excellent. The service was outstanding! Celeste was so attentive with every detail, even down to helping me with the baby shower games. I would definitely request her for any future events. I would highly recommend them. read more

Esposto's recently catered my wedding, and they did a fantastic job. First of all: The food. Though not over the top gourmet with fancy presentations, it was very tasty food. They had a nice variety of food to pick from on their menu. We chose salmon picatta and a roast beef carving station, which was a really nice touch. We also wanted to serve some Indian dishes, and they actually found recipes which were quite good and made daal (lentils) according to a recipe I gave them. I might add they made several dishes for us to try free of charge when we expressed that we wanted Indian dishes. I also liked the fresh fruit they provided. My favorite item of the whole night was the tomato mozzarella salad they served on a skewer. I called it caprese on a stick. Second: Service. We had passed appetizers and an open bar. The entire staff worked well together and with us, and made a smooth awesome event. It was 150 people at my house, so this was no small feat. I learned that when looking for a catering company to do an event like a wedding it is more than just the food, you also want to consider their service experience. Esposto's has an awesome record of events of all shapes, sizes and styles. Finally, I want to make special mention of Deserae. She coordinated everything before the event, and also acted as a wedding coordinator during. I didn't pay attention to the different detail elements of my wedding, like when the bride and groom are announced and such. She had everything together and did quite a bit of directing. She made my event flow more smoothly. We also used their rental company, YPR, for all of our rentals. It was more reasonable than other rental companies we looked at, and having everything coming from the same place made coordinating a lot more smooth. If you want a catering company you can depend on, Esposto's is a great choice. read more

Once again, Esposto's did not let me down. Another wonderful event at Serra High School this past Wednesday Evening with our annual Fund a Dream event. As always, the food was superb, they fed 500 sit down dinner with in 37 minutes! food was hot and all our guests were raving. Service outstanding and they are always so ready to help. The other part of their company is Your Party Rentals. They came in and once again transformed our gym into a "ballroom" Vic Esposto and his crew are amazing. I did have parent volunteers to help with unloading etc, but the YPR crew were great. Clean up went equally as well. Everyone should use Espostos and YPR!!!! Thank you Bill,Gabe, Vic, Desi and crew.......you are simply the best. read more

Great food at reasonable prices. Staff is professional and will make sure your event runs smooth. Highly recommend for any event small or large!!! read more
