e wedding they were extremely flexible. We received so many compliments on the dinner and dessert we had and I am so glad we chose them!
Cupini's and Matthew were great to work with for our wedding. They offered a free tasting to show us all of the catering options. Matthew then sat down with us and helped us create...
the perfect menu for our wedding. He was super easy to work with and answered all of our questions even after our consultation meeting. When we found out some of our guests had dietary restrictions, he was quick to offer an alternative entree for them. Day of, the staff was amazing and very attentive. They had everything set up on time and were walking around making sure guests were happy and helped clear tables. The food was spectacular and a month after our wedding we still have people telling us how great it was! Have Cupini's cater your wedding, you won't regret it!!

nd the staff was very attentive and helpful at our reception. Everyone raved about how delicious the food was. Cupini's also provided our linens and our cake which was simply amazing. You won't regret hiring Cupini's for your special day!
Overall, I was disappointed with the communication before my wedding but the food the day of was amazing. Our point of contact at Cupini’s left and we weren’t made aware. It took 4...
-5 weeks to hear back from the new catering manager, so we were stressed that we needed to get a new caterer. Once we did get ahold of them, there were some communication issues. Extra travel fees the week before our wedding. Scheduled phone call meetings that were forgotten about. The food they brought was great and we got tons of compliments. However, we weren’t impressed with the service. For example, a groomsmen was turned away from taking a single bruschetta from a full plate because they were about to put it away and put out the main course. Other guests commented on the staff as well. Overall we loved the food, but the stress beforehand wasn’t worth it.
Cupini's provided appetizers, a build your own pasta bar, and cake (a two-tiered and sheet cake) for our wedding. It was all amazing!! In addition to the food being a hit, the staf...

ed. Sebastian was our contact and he was great at answering questions and adjusting the plan as we went along. The team that showed up the day of was on point and delivered an amazing, delicious meal. We got comments from a ton of guests about how great the food was! And, we had plenty of leftovers afterward (thanks to family for taking it with them and freezing it, we are still eating that food even now!). Overall would highly recommend Cupinis. And, for what it's worth, as we checked out other options, Cupinis was by far the most cost effective, especially considering how high level the food and service is.
We hired Cupini's to cater our wedding in September 2023. They did our cocktail hour, buffet dinner and desserts. They were fantastic to work with from day one and everything at o...
ur wedding was delicious. We had all vegetarian food and it was a huge hit. We received so many compliments on everything. The staff was professional and flawless from our perspective. They even made dinner plates for me and my husband so we could eat immediately and not have to go to the buffet. We would absolutely recommend Cupini's catering for wedding or other large events.
We hired Cupini's to cater our patio party. Every item we ordered was beautifully presented and delicious. All of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the food. Katy's adv...
ice was perfect and we had just enough leftover to share and enjoy the next day. No waste! We highly recommend Cupini's for any event and would definitely use them again.
My wife and I worked with Cupini's to cater our 50-person wedding. Katy was a pleasure to work with and was very prepared for our initial consultation at the restaurant. Correspond...
ence up to the date was clear and professional. Some last-minute adjustments to the number of seats and requests to change some aspects of the order were quickly accommodated. The food, as expected, was delicious, and the service team the day of our wedding was very friendly and helpful.
The service Cupini's provided, end to end, was excellent and never left us worrying. If you're looking for a smooth experience offering peace of mind for your event (and excellent food!), we highly recommend Cupini's.
Could not have been better food or service

Not only is this one of my favorite restaurants, but Cupini's catered and bartended for my wedding on July 10th, 2021. The catering manager, Katy, was great to work with and very r...
esponsive. She was also incredibly flexible as my guest list changed quite a bit due to covid! The wait staff that evening were exceptional - they were kind, patient and so helpful. The bartenders serving our drinks were one of my favorite parts of my wedding night. Any time I went to the bar, they were so warm and inviting towards me - they kept telling me how beautiful I looked too, which I thought was so sweet. Finally, most of my guests remarked that the food was the best wedding food they've ever had. It was served hot and you could tell the ingredients were fresh. We ended up with so much more food than I thought! Not only do I recommend Cupini's for a lunch or dinner, I highly recommend their catering services.
We could not have asked for a better caterer on our day!! The food and service were both amazing. Everyone was telling us how much they loved the food. Katy did such a great job ma...
king sure everything was just as we wanted. She is great to communicate with and really accommodates any requests. I had several people who didn’t want to stay for the reception due to covid and she made sure they had take home food. She also accommodated any vegetarians etc. We decided to do a plated dinner because we wanted to cut down on people interacting, and they did an amazing job getting food out to everyone quickly. We also ordered our cake from them, and again it was amazing!! I highly recommend!
My husband took me to Cupini's for my birthday our first year we were dating and the food was some of the best Italian I'd ever had. We loved referring them to friends and family f...
or a great lunch or dinner. Fast forward to our engagement and we hear from an acquaintance that Cupini's provided dinner for their wedding reception and said it was amazing. Knowing we've always had great meals there, we contacted Duncan, their catering manager, to set up a meeting to discuss catering for our wedding reception.
They provided a tasting for everything we could potentially want to serve and were able to decide our menu. The process was seamless. The food set up was awesome, the staff was very friendly to all our guests and efficient, and they even boxed up any leftovers for us to take home at the end. The food quality was incredible at the reception! To this day, we are STILL getting compliments on our dinner at our reception, it was that amazing. We are so happy we chose Cupini's to provide dinner for us and our guests at our reception. If you want legitimate homemade Italian, this is the place!
Duncan and his team were incredible! The food and service was great and they did an incredible job on our wedding cake! It was exactly what we were hoping for! Cupini's was great t...

Cupini's did the BEST job catering our wedding! We received SO many compliments about how it was "the best wedding food," our guests have had. We didn't want to do a traditional ch...
icken, steak and sides sit-down, and we love Italian food. The homemade pasta sold it for me! Duncan gave us (and my parents) a great tasting and we came up with a fantastic menu: bruschetta & stuffed mushroom caps as passed apps, the tortellini, pasta primavera, chicken spiedini and my husband's favorite: the lasagna. The tasting was great, but I think they executed the wedding meal even better! Duncan and his team have been together for years, and it really shows. They are so professional and FUN to work with! There was a minor medical emergency during the event and they handled everything with professionalism and care for their team and our guests. I can't say enough great things about them!
Also, bonus! Their wedding cakes are delightful! We weren't even going to have a traditional wedding cake...until we tried theirs, and ended up having three! Traditional white Italian wedding cake, passion fruit mousse cake, and a chocolate cake for my groom.
I would highly recommend them for catering your wedding, you will not regret it and your guests will love it!!

wedding and they got the food out so fast! As well as cleaned up so fast! I was extremely impressed with the service they provided and everyone talked about how great the food was. The really nice thing about using Cupinis is they’ve catered so many times in so many different settings that they know exactly how to do things in different scenarios. I knew this was one part I did not have to worry about for my wedding!
If you love Italian, you would be remiss if you didn’t book Cupini’s for your event. Everyone could not believe we found a wedding buffet that rivaled any in-restaurant dining expe...
rience - not to mention they made the most amazing wedding cakes!! Duncan was super easy to work with, and the staff was beyond professional- we are so very happy we chose you for our caterer!!
Tons of compliments from our guests. Great service and delicious food. Enjoyed working with Duncan - made it all very stress free and easy.
I can't recommend Cupini's enough! Duncan was SO amazing to work with and his team was so amazing on our wedding day. From our tasting to the big day - everything was perfect. D...
uncan was so laid back and was great with helping us select our menu. We loved Cupini's before our wedding and visited a few times during the planning process and every time was so fresh and delicious. The food was even more amazing on our wedding night and guests couldn't stop raving about dinner OR the passed appetizers during cocktail hour. Duncan and his team were so great and I didn't have to worry about a thing all night. I'm so happy we chose Cupini's as our caterer!
You won't get better Italian food in Kansas City! We had our rehearsal dinner at Cupini's and not only was the food amazing, Duncan was great to work with! Thank you!
Duncan was phenomenal. He was so laid-back but still was professional and knew exactly what we wanted. He knew exactly how much food would be enough and everyone LOVED the choices....
It was seriously delicious- restaurant quality wedding catering! People are still talking about the dinner! Thank you!!
I wish that I could give more than 5 stars. They were spectacular. They showed up on time and had everything set up in plenty of time, I don't remember them asking me one question ...
about how to set up or where o set up, its like they could read my mind and it made the day less stressful for me. The food was absolutely amazing. We had passed appetizers for a cocktail hour and they were all amazing, everyone loved them. The bruschetta was my favorite. The food was wonderful too and very filling. We had chicken spiedini, mashed potato's, and green beans. The salad was spectacular and people could not stop talking about the dressings. They were also very good at bussing the tables, not one piece of trash on the tables at the end of the night. I would highly recommend them for any wedding. They are a little expensive, but it is totally worth it for all the peace of mind that you get.

onal, helpful, and courteous to our guests. Duncan was so amazing to work with both before our special day and then throughout the big event. Many of our guests commented on the outstanding food and the friendliness and attentiveness of the staff. I highly recommend Cupini's to anyone in need of a caterer!
Cupini's was a wonderful choice for our wedding of 150 people. We had a buffet in a parlor area off the side of reception. Everything was wonderful and everyone kept raving about...
the food. We chose the pasta buffet with salad, and had anti-pasta and toasted ravioli during cocktail hour before. The price also included bartenders, glasses, and china. So affordable and delicious! Duncan was wonderful to work with and I will be recommending Cupini's to family and friends!
Thank you, Justine
If you have never eaten at Cupini's, do yourself a favor and go have some delicious, authentic Italian food!
Cupini's blew the other caterers out of the water. They were easy to...
work with and reasonably priced.
We hired them for catering, bartending and cake cutting. I continue to hear how tasty all the food was, and I'm sure I will be hearing this for years to come! We chose the buffet option and had salad, bread and 3 different pasta options.
We provided the alcohol, ice, mixers, fruit and cups for the bartenders. They cut the fruit and got everything ready. Their only downfall was they had giant pours! I would recommend talking to them beforehand to discuss this.
We also brought in our own cake and had Cupini's cut it for us. We provided the cake, plates, napkins, forks and serving utensils. They had a very minimal charge for this.
Overall, this caterer is fabulous!
Excellent food! Great service. Just wished they would have served multiple appetizers at once instead of serving all the bruschetta, then ravioli, then the others. Most of our gue...

LOVED Cupini's - everything about it. We used them for our vendor for our wedding (reception food and wedding cake). Prior to the wedding they helped make us feel at complete ease ...
(we are out of state and communicate mainly through phone and e-mail). The food was amazing - I don't know how many people made it a point to tell me how good the hors devores were during cocktail hour. The food - soo good - we had dinner individually plated - all the guests received their food promptly - and there were large portions! One of our groomsmen - actually asked for seconds (not for lack of portions, but because he LOVES Cupini's food - he actually held his rehearsal dinner there!) and they obliged! The cake was beautiful and got eaten up quickly - rave reviews about the cake! There was a slight mix up with cups through our liquor vendor - and Cupinis supplied them instead - last minute - no charge! I cannot give them a good enough review because they really were THAT good!
Wonderful food and service. All of the staff were so easy to work with and very professional. The food was amazing!

ree) The appetizers, display of the food, and taste had people raving all night long (and still raving since our wedding) Not only was the food great, the tables were always cleared quickly, and the servers were wonderful. Eddie & Franco were easy to work with, and very flexible with our menu and requests. On top of that, our cake came through them. Ishmael is their baker and he made us the cake of our dreams. We couldn't decide on a single flavor (since the taste test cakes were ALL delicious) so we had three, yes three flavors in our cake! Not only was the cake exactly like what we had sketched...but he also made a groom's cake that was a replica of my husband's guitar. Overall I would use them again in a heartbeat if I had to do my wedding all over...in other words, we were extremely happy with Cupini's!

r buffet to munch on during the happy hour while we (the couple) were taking our pictures together upstairs in the chapel. We found out later that there was some confusion with the place cards (on which we had placed stickers indicating which entree choice each guest had wanted) during dinner, but they were able to reconcile the matter on their own and we didn't even realize at the time that I wasn't clear on who ordered what! We even had food left over that the catering staff packed up for us- we were excited to be able to eat it before leaving on the honeymoon so we didn't have to cook the next day (plus they included some yummy appetizers that we didn't get to try because they were gone by the time we got downstairs to the reception!).
