Zuccaro Banquets & Catering

I’ve always enjoyed every visit I’ve had to Zuccaro’s. Most of them were at the original location off of 16 Mile Rd., but I’ve been to the newer location twice now, and they are batting 100!
First things first, this location is better and much more up to date (check out my pics). The décor is very swanky, without being gaudy or over-​the-​top. The bathrooms are immaculate! After washing my hands with the greatest smelling soap ever, the paper towel came out with but a wave of my hand.
Now let’s talk staff. I can’t believe how efficient and respectful they were at such a seemingly young age. Handsome young men and pretty young women, while certainly not a prerequisite for my dining enjoyment, I’ll admit they do add a bit to the overall experience; especially when they know what they’re doing, like these staffers did.
And for the Main Event… The Food! The salad comes tossed, and is a great blend of shredded carrots, spring mix, onion and tomatoes. The dressing was traditional Italian, with just the right amount of vinegar bite that I love (see pic). The bread basket, consisting of both plain and sesame rolls and garlic bread, was served with the salad and came right on time.
Now, I’m not a fan of Alfredo, but here it was executed superbly, and I couldn’t get enough of it. It was a fantastic blend of garlic and cheese in a cream sauce perfectly mixed with house spices, then tossed with a thin-​styled fettuccine (or fat linguine) pasta. Perfecto!
The Pollo Marsala is another dish I am not a fan of, and yet again Zuccaro delivered the goods. The chicken was succulent and juicy, with button mushrooms in a semi-​creamy Marsala wine cream sauce. SO GOOD.
The sausage and meatballs were served together in a thick tomato sauce, and tasted exactly how you’d want them to. The meatballs were small, which made me think they may be store bought, but after taking a bite I think they’re homemade; otherwise, I need to know what store they buy them from! I like to stuff the meatballs and sausage in the bread rolls, and make little dago sandwiches with them.
The Garlic Mashed Red Skin Potatoes were out of this world!!! I like potatoes, but last night I was like a potato whore, offering all types of sexual favors for one more helping of this stupendously whipped side dish. The garden veggies, which I marry with every bite of my potatoes, was a great blend of summer vegetables.
Lastly, there’s dessert. Again, here’s another thing I’m famous for passing on, and here I destroyed a mini cannoli, two cookies, a mini cheesecake, and a brownie!
I’ve eaten Italian food my entire life, and being Italian myself, makes me a harsh judge of Italian restaurants, and more specifically, Italian catering halls. Zuccaro’s, unlike most I’ve come across, delivers top notch food in a beautifully designed atmosphere, and the staff makes you feel at home without getting in the way of the evening. If you plan anything that requires a catering hall, you’d be a fool not to have it here.

Zuccaros did a fantastic job at the 150^th Anniversary luncheon for St. John’s Lutheran Church. The office staff was flexible with our fluctuating attendee count and the per person plate price was very reasonable. The food was great and the serving staff was very pleasant and accommodating. The large, clean and well decorated restrooms accommodated many guests. We received many positive comments from those attending and would not hesitate to recommend the Chesterfield banquet hall in the future.

OK first off, I was in the wedding party. This was an open bar reception. Can the wedding party have one beer before the ceremony? Nope. then why was someone standing behind the bar? We were told no like the dude was our dad or something, we are all over 30. «Didn’t want us drunk before the ceremony» WTF? Strike one. Then the servers had no water on the head table. Strike two. Servers took forever to clear plates, strike three. Took the full champagne glasses off the table when they did finally clear, strike four. Kept taking my water glasses (that I continually had to go get at the bar) from the table, even when I put a napkin over it. Strike five. No bathroom for the bride near the area for her to get ready, strike six. The food was mediocre at best. Not going to recommend the place. for years I had wanted to check the place out as I grew up over that way, hoping not to go again.

Great service

I went here with friends for a New Years Eve party. This place rocks. The venue is really pretty inside with a large dancefloor. The food was really great. Everything tasted fresh. I would not hesitate to book an event here.

I know I’m a little late with this review, but with the impending holiday season upon us (shush.don’t shoot me) I thought I’d give a litte shout out to one of the best NYE parties around. Let me start by saying, I felt like I was at a HUGE HUGE wedding… the place was packed with about 50 (or more) tables that had about 10 – 12 peolpe at each table. Huge crowd, and everyone was having a ball like some big family event. Even with this many people in attendance, I can tell you that #1 The service was excellent! #2 The food, was AMAZING! Steaks, hot off the. watever cooked to perfection, as was everything else we had, potatoes, pasta, salad, chicken, soup. It was ALL really delicious. They also brought out pizza after midnight #3 Never any issues getting a cocktail, and by issues, I mean enormous annoying lines. #4. Great party starting DJ and all around crowd pleaser, we’re talking modern dance music, motown, and some doo-​wop. FUN FOR EVERYONE! #5. Last but certainly not least… After not being able to get a taxi back to our hotel when the party was over, and trying to, unsuccessfully let me add, snag a ride from other party-​goers, and the DJ.haha.we were desperate! The very pleasant owner Tony Zuccaro gave my girlfriends and I a lift to our hotel in his Jag! Now that’s some damn service!

Have only been here for the Easter Brunch twice now, but it is wonderful. Several choices, friendly servers, and large area. Easter Bunny comes around for the kids. Good choice for Easter Brunch, it’s about $ 19
