The shelves are stocked with imported pastas, sauces, and specialty items that make it hard to leave empty-handed. I ordered the Chicken Cutlet Sandwich, which was outstanding with a perfectly crispy cutlet and fresh ingredients. The macaroni salad was a great side, and the cannoli was the perfect sweet ending to the meal. If you're looking for authentic Italian flavors and a true old-school market experience in Albany, Cardona's is definitely worth a visit.

So much to think about: can different cultural tastes be addressed, can a casual lunch of sandwiches and sides be taken up a notch, will plates and cutlery be of good quality to so that the meal won't plop over a valued client's lap, etc (!) and all being kept within a budget? Mike hit all my concerns with A+ responses. Not only were the meals great for the group of 40+, Mike was flexible with last minute changes, catering was delivered in a timely manner, and I could count on his professional customer service for the venue without me even attending. 5 Stars for Michael's Express Catering - my go-to caterer for service, creativity and quality in food items, and Mike's enthusiastic personality to work with. Thanks big time, Mike! We'll do it again!

I was so excited to work with Nicole's for our wedding day. My wife and I are having our wedding…read morecelebration on October 2nd 2021. We had Nicole's booked and secured since November 2020. I was told after providing a deposit that my event coordinator (Kate) would reach out to finalize plans early February. Mid February rolls around and I have not heard from Kate. I reached out via email only to find that Kate is no longer working with Nicole's. Our event was passed on to Margaret. No problem. Margaret and I arranged a call where I discussed our in laws are footing the bill and they LOVE food. So we wanted a lot and a large variety despite being a smaller wedding (50-75 people). Margaret spent the entire call talking me down and telling me I was ordering too much. She asked I look over the options again and downsize. I told her we would but we do still want a large variety. A day or two later I go to email Margaret our (still large but) downsized order...only to find an email from her waiting for me. Her email stated that Nicole's simply could not service us and it was a mistake for Kate to take us on originally. She went on to say that the only way it was feasible for them to serve our wedding is if we were willing to spend a minimum of $15,000 BEFORE TAXES AND FEES. So to recap we've had them booked since November. Between November and March they didn't think to tell us they couldn't serve us. And after talking me down Margaret comes back not 72 hours later to tell me we have to pay over $15 grand. BEFORE TAXES AND FEES. Margaret left us hanging and scrambling to find a caterer for one of the busiest wedding weekends of the year. And to add to the unprofessionalism after providing our home address for her to return our deposit via check...she sent it to the location of our wedding event instead. Do not work with these people and risk being put in the situation I'm in. They cannot be trusted to uphold their end of a bargain. Hell, they can't even be trusted to address an envelope.

Do you envision family members having to step into said argument because you've been so rudely spoken to while celebrating the happiest day of your life? If so, this is the caterer for you!

After 15 minutes he finally got his food. I waited another 5 minutes before checkout my on my order. They said they were running behind on the grill. I waited another 5 minutes and they said it would be ready soon. Finally after 30 minutes of waiting I just asked for my money back. During the wait, I saw multiple other people check on their orders and that's when the staff realized they lost order tickets. My friend had ordered the rogue (braised short rib sandwich) and did not enjoy it at all, stating there was no flavor to the meat. Do not bother trying Wandering Dago. They are unorganized and even though they make it seem like a gourmet menu, the food is not good. Stay away and try any of the other good options around

Clearly no understanding of what gluten is or how easy it would be to have food be to accommodate another diet. Also no curiosity or follow up to see if they could help. The shortness of her reply was also irritating- no apology or regret or explanation. Just basically to "get lost." Having celiac disease is tough. I guess they made my lunch choice easy. Well, thanks for nothing.

We asked Deanna to cater our 115 person, mountain top wedding with as much fire-prepared food as possible. Think Francis Mallmann (google him if you arent familiar). No running water. No electricity. She was game. She was more than game. She came ready to rumble and was cooking on the fire pit from morning until late night. Deanna is warm, talented, energetic, charming, and generous. She made amazing, locally sourced, fresh food our guests are still raving about. She has real relationships with farmers and producers in the area - her local connections are priceless. Her whole team never broke their professionalism and wowed us with their service and hospitality. She helped our moms serve apple pies instead of wedding cake. She sprinkled flowers all over the buffet tables. She shared with us all her beautiful old plates. She surprised us with a late night round of sloppy joes. She let us borrow all the props and baskets and water jugs for our whole wedding weekend, even for events that she wasn't specifically there for. I could go on and on. Book with Deanna, she is a true unicorn of the catering world.

We postponed two times, and Chef Deanna was incredibly accommodating throughout it all. In fact -- she supported our decision to postpone (even the second time!) when so many people questioned why we were doing it. Postponing twice was absolutely the right decision, and we had our dream wedding on 4/9/22 of this year. Chef Deanna worked with us to create a menu that was rustic and aligned with our tastes/personalities. We did a barbecue buffet for the main course -- with macaroni and cheese, multiple types of meat, cornbread, etc. -- and a more classic cocktail hour with charcuterie/cheese etc. Everything was delicious. My only regret is that I didn't go up for seconds! In ADDITION to that, Chef Deanna provided her gorgeous vintage plates that were a perfect fit with our venue. This really helped make our planning easier, and added to the beauty of the tables on the day. Everything went seamlessly -- We could not have been happier with Chef Deanna's catering!
