Cocoa Pesto Catering

Absolutely fantastic. We hired Cocoa Pesto for a celebration of life lunch for my mom. I was able to easily communicate with them ahead of the celebration and collaborate to assemble a customized menu that included everything we wanted...lobster roll sliders, the Best seafood chowder I have ever had, gourmet sandwiches and delicious salads. Staff was friendly, professional and on-time. Every guest made a point of telling me how very much they enjoyed the food, thank you Cocoa Pesto!

We are super glad we hired this team. Not only was the meal delicious and the service perfect, Kelly was so friendly and responsive to my many emails! They worked with us to make a menu in our budget and made things so simple and stress free! Definitely recommend

We had such an incredible experience with the Cocoa Pesto team! We had a covid" wedding so had to change plans several times and every step of the way Kelly and the team were supportive

So happy to have this back in our community! Great food, staff and top notch service.The food is so delicious and never disappoints!

This was a very unprofessional experience.While inquiring about wedding catering they withheld information about entertaining multiple inquiries competing for the same date. When pointedly asked if the day was held while we worked through the details, we were assured that they were working with us but they never directly answered the question in retrospect. After a number of emails and phone calls about menus and other details, days in delay responding to our follow-ups, we received an email saying someone else had already paid their deposit. We had no idea the date was not secure during our back and forth. We were simply waiting on them to get back to us.They were not forthcoming in our communications. Their actions were manipulative and self-serving. And while this may be how the business runs, after speaking at length about how busy the season was and how difficult it was to book a caterer, this withholding prevented us from following other catering possibilities. It was cruel.Maybe the food is good?

We hired Cocoa Pesto Catering for a private family event. The food was absolutely phenomenal! The beef tenderloin was the most tender I have ever tasted! The appetizers and desserts were also stellar. The service was friendly and professional. We could not have asked for a more positive experience. They cleaned up and left a spotless kitchen, even leaving the left overs in doggie bags in the fridge. I would highly recommend using them for any event!!

We had the best experience with Cocoa Pesto and their staff for a catered wedding reception on Aug 7th 2021.We ordered their Southern BBQ menu, it was amazing!!!The whole meal was gluten free, as the bride has Celiac Disease. They were the only cater that would prepare the whole meal Gluten free, not just a plate for the bride.We had the best macaroni and cheese, all the guests kept saying, this is gluten free...it is amazing!!"We did not have any complaints from any guests

Didn’t even make it past the first minute on the phone. I grew up in Riverview and loved the idea of hiring someone local to cater our wedding. When I described our budget, the sales person all but laughed at me, saying we would never get food for that tight a budget. He was condescending, rude and it felt much more like a car sale than a quote meeting. There was no effort made to even discuss more economical options. In this economy- that is a huge deal breaker.

Cocoa Pesto catered our wedding, and they did an amazing job. The food was delicious, and many of our guests told us how much they enjoyed it. They were also very professional, and our venue commented to us how wonderful they were to work with. Their quality of work and professionalism just made our day that much easier and more fun!

I've been a wedding photographer at several weddings that Cocoa Pesto catered, and their food is delicious! Even their vegetarian options were so tasty which is always so exciting for me. I highly recommend Cocoa Pesto for your wedding!
