Working with Nick and Dasha was fantastic. We hosted a family party welcoming our daughter home for a visit from CA along with our grandson. We have a South Philly Italian family, so went full on with Rigatoni Vodka, Roast Pork Italian, Porchetta Meatballs, Broccoli rabbi, Provolone, Long hots, Grilled veggies, and a Caesar salad. Oh and these great sandwich rolls. It was fantastic and everyone raved about the flavors. The set up was fast, on time and professional. can’t wait to use them again, in fact my wife said they need to cook for us once a week. Well done Cuzzins. More...

We had an engagement party for my daughter and after reaching out to a few companies on Bark, I chose Cuzzins. The reason I chose them was because of the flexibility Nick and team offered on my needs for the party. I made the right choice! The food was absolutely amazing. I had so many guests ask me where we got the food from. There were definitely some favorites but all of the food was excellent. I would highly recommend using Cuzzins and will surely be calling them back for my next catering event! More...

Loved everything from Cuzzin's Catering! We ordered from their party tray menu. The chicken marsala, rigatoni with vodka sauce, homemade meatballs, roasted pork and arugula salad were all outstanding! Definitely recommend giving them a shot for your next event! More...
