Savory Truffle Catering

This review is a little late, but better late than never. Rick catered my wedding on August 15, 2015. Since I first contacted Rick he was extremely professional and helpful. After we decided to hire him he did a walk through with us and had great ideas on how to set up. He really knows what works best and is very helpful with planning. Our wedding was at the Barlow, which was great, but day of our coordinator canceled, this caused a lot of changes. Rick was able to handle everything extremely well and also let me know that everything would still be great. The food was amazing. All the guests complimented the food, which I was worried about because we had a very multicultural guest list. Ricks staff was extremely helpful and kind. Everyone loves it and if I could give more stars I would. I even got to enjoy more of the hangar steak the next day since there was left overs! Thank you Rick, you made mine and Maryanne’s day very special.

In early December, 2014, I began to plan a 60^th birthday celebration for my husband — a bridge club friend recommended Rick and I contacted him. We met two weeks before the Dec. 27^th event and Rick was thorough in his evaluation of what was needed for this 30-​attendee soirée — he also dialogued with me several times via e-​mail, adjusting the menu, etc., based on our requirements. On 12÷27÷14, Rick and his assistant, Barbara, laid out a splendid offering of appetizers and a delicious hanger steak entrée… followed by two dessert offerings. People raved about the food, and my husband (who is a real «foodie») said it was the best birthday party he’d ever had. I highly recommend Savory Truffle Catering!

Rick and his amazing staff catered a five course dinner for my parents’ 50^th wedding anniversary. It was fabulous! Rick has a knack for detail and served an amazing pear salad, 3 types of soup, salmon and tri-​tip and a delicious assortment of desserts. His professional friendliness was perfect for our more intimate setting. I would recommend him for any family event.

I hired Rick for a memorial luncheon of about 60 — 70 guests. Before the event Rick was available, clearly communicated the business end of things, and took extra time to make sure the site location would have everything needed to have the day go smoothly. And it did. He and his staff of 2 were perfect. They were friendly, helpful, and professional with just the right amount of «presence». I did not have to worry about a thing: the appetizers, bar, and food were handled.
And the food? The kind that makes you stop talking. Time slows. A single bite might start big and finish sublime. The next dish might be the other way around. Combinations of flavors that take you somewhere else.
There was more than enough food. The leftovers were packed up nealty into my refrigerator. Immediate family stayed the night. I thought they might want to eat out for dinner. I was wrong. With out knowing it Savory Truffle fed a party of 10 again that day.
Thanks, Rick!

THIS REVIEW WOULD BE 5 STARS but we ran out of food :-(
Rick’s food was delicious and his customer service was great. He was really easy going and communicated well via email and phone. He was flexible with timing and worked hard to fit our budget. He even seemed genuinely excited to work with us, which made me feel good. His service staff did a great job and were really nice.
We did a non-​traditional wedding format which included heavy hors d’oeuvres served all day. I advertised this fact heavily to my guests, to warn them that there would not be a sit-​down meal but to plan on munching all day.
However about 2.5 hours before the end of the evening, we ran out of food… our wedding planner had to order pizza for people who were still hungry. We were right on the headcount and the evening was going smoothly, so I’m not sure how this happened. This was a big enough mistake to warrant knocking off two stars.
I’m sure there is an explanation for my experience and according to his other reviews, this has not been a problem before.

Rick Rozet/​Savory Truffle Catering is da bomb. I called him on the basis of Unilocal reviews and was not disappointed one little bit. He did a fabulous job and is a sweetheart to boot. You can’t go wrong.

My husband and I recently hired Rick to cater our wedding in Sebastopol for about 65 people. We chose him because of the positive reviews he already has on Unilocal.We are happy to say that these reviews are accurate!
Rick has a huge menu of dishes to choose from. We had tilapia in saffron sauce, french lentils and mashed potatoes, among other things. It was all delicious and impressive! Furthermore, Rick had a challenging environment in which to work: uneven ground and limited shade and electrical. Nonetheless, he made it work. He has an easy going, helpful attitude and was generous with his time and advice. The staff he supplied were competent and friendly. We whole heartedly recommend him!

I hired Rick for my 50^th birthday bash and he knocked it out of the park. Everything was delicious and fresh. He was easy to work with and on time and on budget.
There was a little last minute cooking on our part, but I think that was the nature of the food we choose for the party. Overall, I am happy and would use Savory Truffle Catering again.

Outstanding! I used them for my 60^th birthday and guests were astounded with the delicious treats Rick prepared.

Ok, I’ve procrastinated in writing my update after the wedding long enough.
Rick did an amazing job helping me with my wedding. Not only did he serve up some of the best food I’ve had in my life, but he assisted me in creating a schedule for my wedding and setting up the arrangement for the event. Our wedding was in my father in law’s beautiful backyard. Rick met me there a few times leading up to the wedding to do walk throughs. By the time our date came up I had the most confidence in him out of all my hired staff that things would go smoothly. And they did.
My mothers friends (whom I didn’t know) were supped to tend bar, but by the time the reception was halfway through they were no where to be found. The Savory Truffle staff saved the night and stepped behind the bar to keep our guests liquored up.
As I mentioned earlier the food was AWESOME! Our guests were ooing and ahhing over the eccentricity and fabulous flavors. We did a round of heavy hors d’oeuvres which everyone assumed was the whole meal… So they were pleasantly surprised when the main course was laid out.
I cannot express how great of an experience it was to have this company handle the catering for our wedding. Sorry I don’t have any pictures to add… that was one of the not so fun experiences of the wedding. Our photographer ran out of battery shortly after the ceremony :(

Savory Truffle catered my wedding this April and we have been getting rave reviews from all of our guests ever since. Rick creates a very unique menu with bold flavors that leave people wanting more and wanting his card. He served :
Lemongrass chicken turnovers
Sweet potato samosas with yogurt lime sauce
Baby potatos with Danish bleu cheese, rosemary, and black pepper.
Vietnamese spring rolls with spicy mint sauce…
Dates stuffed with a toasted almond roasted and wrapped in bacon.
Mexican duck tacos with mango salsa and crema Mexicana.
Fresh trout bruschetta with basil, red onions and a wasabi mayo
Pizza breads with garlic, parmesan and walnut
Light buffet
Caesar style salad with garlic croutons
French lentils with sweet onions, tomatos and greens
Hot and sour Thai chicken ravioli’s
Grilled pork tenderloin sauce Apicius over mashed potatos
And the best part of the meal for those with a sweet tooth:
Individual granny smith apple tarts
Bittersweet chocolate souffles
Crème Brulees
Rick also brought out a few more late night appetizers for those of us still on the dance floor after hours. He really knew how to keep the party going.
His food was delicious and his prices were palatable. I couldn’t have been happier with our catering choice!

I went to a party over the weekend catered by Savory Truffle and was blown away by the food. Heavy appetizers were served and pretty much everything I tried was fantastic. Some of the standouts were the chicken skewers, ahi tuna on cucumber, veggie samosas, crabcakes, bacon wrapped dates!!!
The servers were friendly and efficient — the table always had hot food on it and was continuously restocked. If you are looking to have an event catered in the north bay I would highly recommend checking out Savory Truffle.
