San Carlo Fine Catering

The food and service was Great! Nice atmosphere and very helpful staff. The price is very reasonable.

Celebrated my sons 1st birthday party here when we booked this venue we had high expectations wishful hoping everything was going to go smooth since at one point when we booked this banquet everyone seemed to be polite and respectful through out my 4HOURS that I PAID for it was all DRAMA due to my host VIRGINA MY GUEST & I ENCOUNTERED MANY PROBLEMS with her through out my 4hrs of my party ALL STARTED when she wanted to serve food at 730 when I had only 5 guest from 74 people that were coming Also her screaming at an ELDERLY PARTY WHO ASKED where the fruits were and when was the chocolate fountain coming? NOT only that but I paid 4$ per guest for a chocolate fountain that was out for ONLY 25-30MINS?

Like WHAT? When it was time to cut the cake as usual at any party everyone takes pictures while taking picture the host Virgina decided to come with a cart and stand in the way when asked by the photographer if she can move back she began to become extremely rough/rude among all my guest she then YANKED the cake without consenting with me if I was DONE taking PICTURES when the incident occurred I requested a manager who NOT only stood quiet but did NOT do NOTHING to assist with the situation when I specifically told her to change my host to someone else she didn't, WASTED 30mins of my party trying to fix a situation that was NOT fixed when time to clean up THE HOST VIRGINA CAME BACK AND STARTED TO BE RUDE ONCE AGAIN when asked a question by one of my guest; then she started CLAIMING SHE WAS FROM THE BRONX? THREATS? Someone like this should not be a host at a banquet! Expected service to be better here. This place sucks including management ONLY THING GOOD WAS THE FOOD

The place was decent and food was good. It's sad to say I saw roach. If that's the case outside in public I can't imagine the kitchen.

Very nice banquet hall. Staff was awesome and good was fabulous.

Pleasantly surprised with how good the food was. Used to go to bowling banquets here in the 80s. Place is very good

This place is a HUGE SCAM! Booked a party before the pandemic. I contacted them in feb to confirm if the party would still be able to happen. They told me they were closed and was not sure if they were going to be able to hold my party. They told me they would contact me in April to let me know the status which they never did. They never reached out again to let us know if the party was still on since we moved the party they do not want to give a refund of the deposit I left.

I never heard of a place that wouldn't call their clients to let them know the status of their business being open or closed for events. Called them so many times left messages and took them weeeks to respond back only to let us know we couldn't get our deposit back. As you can see from the previous review they are doing this to many people. Save your money and stay away!

NO customer service, they just don't care. Customers that booked and paid deposits prior to pandemic should have been their first concern and contacted as a courtesy. There should've been updates sent every couple of months, letting us know what to expect or just saying they hadn't forgotten about me/us. In February 2020 I put a deposit down for a party in October.

Right after that the pandemic started and understandably they closed. I didn't receive a call or email saying they were closed until further notice and would keep me updated. nothing! I called and left messages for several weeks before I finally received a call back saying they couldn't provide information as to when they would reopen. When I checked back in during the summer, I was told they would be open in December and I could have food catered for my Christmas party using the deposit I put down.

I thought OK. good! I'll do that. ACCEPT when December came, I tried calling in my menu and I didn't get any answer. Four days before my party I was finally able to talk to someone and was told they were closed again at the end of November. Smh. I can't say it's poor customer service because there was NO customer service from San Carlo at all! BTW, she said they wouldn't open until March of 2021. I don't understand how they have 4/5 star reviews from a week/3 months or 10 months, if they're closed. I'm still waiting.

It is a very wonderful experience when you enter the building. The catering hall resembles that of a small miniature Castle or a small hotel that welcomes you with open arms and with great benefit. The food warms the soul especially with events like the gotv breakfast that a friend of ours always holds every year. The San Carlo has a bit of charm that makes you feel like you are as important as any other person in the world.

The San Carlo and it's wonderful employees speak profoundly to the soul of the person and whenever you want something or whenever an event you want to set up, it is there for you and waiting for you! That's how beautiful the San Carlo restaurant and catering hall is. A catering hall in the heart of Lyndhurst New Jersey, is a vitally important part of everyone's life no matter where you are from the world. And no matter where you're from in any part of New York City, San Carlo says buono giorno, welcome, we're glad you're here!

As a party planner my self, I felt completely taken care of and that the staff knew exactly what they were doing and the event went incredibly smoothly. They had amazing staff, and were incredibly accommodating. Lori, Paula and bartender Ezio made the party absolutely perfect! Would definitely recommend this place for your next event!

The venue is "grandiose" and suitable for events but the food was institutional in quality and preparation. I was offered roast beef, essentially a pile of roast beef slices covered in gravy. The potatoes were rubbery and the vegetables were just steamed and flavorless. I think it's sad that people pay $40 for this kind of meal that resembles airline food. I would not recommend this venue if your event planning includes cuisine with high standards. Service was good!

I've been to two catered events here, a baby shower and 50th birthday bash. There multiple party rooms and two floors. You can valet you car or go self park across the street but the self park lot is very small. Another option is to park off street but make sure you read the street signs. Because it's located at residential area, you must move your car by 10pm for most streets.

Back to the restaurant.as soon as you walk inside, you can check in your coat and let the staff know which party you're looking for and they will tell you which room. The food is decent and service is good. They do have hard floors so bring your dancing shoes if you're going to hire a DJ. I had a fabulous time. I am knocking off one star because they do not have elevators so handicap guests do struggle going up and down the stairs. There is a freight elevator but it is for their staff usage only.

I have had my jobs holiday party here the past 2 yrs. We all love everything about the San carlo. First the food is excellent, very tasty n plenty. 2nd the staff is what makes it even better. They cater to you entire party, not just to me, but to all of our employees who attend. Staff Very friendly, n just nice ppl. 3rd Plenty of parking onsite. I'm glad we found this hidden gem venue. I highly recommend to all. Our company is in hudson county, but our employees want to return to this venue even tho not close for them.

Five Stars for the service and wait staff. Food was Ok. Decent catering all food. The Sangria SUCKS. I mean really TERRIBLE. Please do better than this. Why on earth would you put Cinnamon in the sangria. It's HORRIBLE. Please fix this. Not fair to offer sangria as part of your dinner package if none of the guests are going to drink it. GROSS.

If I could honestly give this business a 0 I would.we recently had our schools 8th grade graduation party here and the way the owner treated us was appalling and beyond disgusting.he treated us like garbage.we will NEVER EVER have a school event here again.please pass the word around.it was awful! I honestly can't believe this man is in business.

Terrible.pasta was overcooked.the chicken like substance they served was rubbery and looked like the inside of McDonald's chicken nuggets.even the coffee was undrinkable.i wouldn't eat here for free

Good banquet hall and catering. Been here numerous times and have found the food and service to be good. Reasonable pricing also

This place really sucks. We left 20 dollars of change in our vehicle in the valet parking and when we retrieved our car, it was gone. We sent a mail to the restaurant but they never responded to us. Do not leave your car there! The food is okay at best although the service is not so good. The waiters take too long and this is not a friendly place.

We had our son's college graduation party at this restaurant in June and there are not enough words to express how impressed we were with the service, food and overall experience. We booked our party with Gina who is simply amazing! She always made us feel as if we were her only customers -- anything we asked, she delivered. The room was absolutely beautiful and if this wasn't enough -- the food was the talk of the night.

Our guests could not get over how much food they were given and they raved about the overall quality of the food as well. We had two guests with food allergies and they were able to accommodate them as well. I would not hesitate to book another event -- it was first class all the way!

Bridal shower last Saturday. The food was to die for! The San Carlo is exquisite. Buffet food was temp appropriate throughout the 4 hour event. Coffee was constantly served by 3 servers who were ALWAYS available for our needs. Restrooms were beautifully designed & constantly attended to. Highly recommend for any catered party. Several going on at the same time, but still ours was very personalized & private.

I just found out that I have an allergy to gluten and lactose. I was attending a party at the San Carlo and called ahead to see if there would be anything that I would be able to eat. They assured me that they would prepare something that would be gluten-free and lactose-free. Well, it wasn't, and it made me sick.

How anyone can pass this off as Italian food is beyond me. We were there for a gathering this weekend and what a disappointment-truly taken a nosedive.

This place was awesome and on point.soon as we got their we were seated, asked what we liked to drink, coffee was ready, waiters were awesome, and food was ready to be served within ten minutes of all the family being their to eat after my great aunts funeral! The food was delicious, meat balls were yummy, salad wasn't soggy, pasta with sauce was right, egg plant parm was magnificent, chicken was good, and they even let us take food home.so their were left overs to devour lol

Came to San Carlo for a family event for which we had our own room. The restaurant is very nicely decorated and all of the staff were attentive and friendly. There was plenty of room for everyone to move around and for the kids to play. The food was served buffet style, starting with salad, bread, cheese and fruit. The main course was penne vodka, eggplant parm, meatballs and sausage with onions and peppers. Everything looked delicious, but really was just ok. Most of the food just lacked flavor, the eggplant was overly mushy and the bread definitely not fresh.

Came to the San Carlo for a Repass Dinner. Nice room with plenty of space for us to socialize. We started with salad, cheese and crackers and sliced fruit. All were fresh and delicious. We had a buffet. Vodka aka Penne, Eggplant Parmigiana, Meatballs, Sausage and Peppers and a Chicken and lemon dish. Again, all good. Ice cream with pound cake and sliced peaches for dessert. Fine for a catered meal. Venue (including bathrooms) is clean. Employees are friendly and accommodating.

Came here for my friends birthday celebration tonight. I think there are several event rooms that you can book. Ours was, I would say, a medium/large size room that can fit 9 large tables that can seat 10 people per table, a photo booth, tables for the food, small dance floor in the center plus DJ and live band. The food was good (= 3 stars). We were served (buffet style): pasta, chicken dish, brisket, sausage, paella, roasted potatoes, green beans with shaved almonds, salad, mozzarella balls and fruit.

The paella was a little salty to my taste though. At the end, they served us a plate of dessert that had cookies and different mini pastries. Along with coffee. The servers were fine. They were prompt and if anyone asked them anything (I.e. brining in extra chairs) they were very responsive. Parking is limited. I think many have to park on the street.

Decor was decent- nice nothing too high end but nothing to complain about! I was here for a sweet 16 and I'm not sure if the quality of the food they put out for this package was sub-par bc of the audience and purchasing a "sweet 16" package but I thought the food (buffet) was gross. They added a sub sandwich onto the package which I think was the best thing offered.

I really barely ate anything on my plate except salad. Even the antipasti had a funny taste to it, especially the mozzarella. There were chicken wings that I heard were good but I don't like wings. The hot food (standard roasted veggies, eggplant, pasta and chicken something) were really very unpleasant. 3 stars bc of venue but food would have been a 2. Make sure u taste everything being offered if u will be booking here.

My best friend and his fiancee got married here 2 days ago (8/2/08) and I was his best man. They had the larger rooms upstairs and it easily accomodated over 150 people. The food was actually quite good. They had lamb chops (superb!), crab cakes, fried shrimp, puff pastry asparagus, baked ziti, vegetable lasagna, deli meats, vegetables & dips, carved meat, sauteed shrimp in garlic butter sauce and much, much more and that was just the cocktail hour!

The dinner was good as well. I had the steak dinner and my better half had the chicken. The steak was tender and had a really good, flavorful gravy on it. The dance floor was large enough to accommodate us all and a good time was had by everyone there. Definitely a good place, although as one commenter wrote, the hot pink might want to be changed out for more of a neutral color. Otherwise its a great venue for a large gathering.

My friend had a surprise 60th birthday party here for her mother. We were downstairs in a smaller room, as they needed only to accommodate about thirty people in our party. The food was average, deserving three stars. The room itself and it's decor was in major need of a face-lift (as pastel pink can be quite obnoxious), deserving two stars. The service was excellent, deserving four stars. Average those stars and you get three overall.
