They offer full-service catering with dishes made from scratch and with love. They serve venues throughout Treasure Valley, Boise, and the surrounding areas.
Catherine Pellegrini is a born chef, having grown up in a boisterous Italian home with plenty of food and more family members than she can count. At the age of four, her Papi built her a stool for the stove, and she started making gravy on Sundays with Nani. She can still remember the smells of Sunday—dubbed family day—with everyone gathered around the kitchen table, never left hungry. As she grew older, got married, and had kids of her own, Catherine still carried on the traditions of her childhood and founded Pel-Appino Catering in 2009. At the time, it was a humble business, but after the passing of her husband, Joe, she followed his advice and brought her dream career to life. Each time she caters an event, there is still a little bit of Joe in there.
Pel-Appino Catering, LLC is dedicated to creating unforgettable experiences for couples with excellent service and bespoke menus. Their chefs are experts in preparing classic Italian, American, and Mexican dishes, as well as mouth-watering BBQ and fresh seafood. Ensuring each of your guests can indulge, they can tailor your menu to specific dietary needs. They cater to intimate parties, elaborate weddings, and everything in between.

Owner
I grew up in an Italian home with lots of food, yelling over people talking and more family members than I can count. At the age of four, my Papi built me a stool for the stove, and I started making "gravy" on Sundays with Nani. I can still remember the smells of Sunday, family day. Everyone gathered around the kitchen table, and no one left hungry. As I grew older, got married and had kids of my own I still carried on the traditions of my family and childhood, without the yelling of course. As a caterer, it is always my goal to bring my family traditions to your family!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Cat and her team at Pel Appino Catering for our wedding on August 2, 2025, and we couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From ...
the very beginning, Cat impressed us with her professionalism, warmth, and clear passion for her craft. She was communicative, organized, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire planning process—answering questions, offering guidance, and making us feel completely confident in our decision to work with her.
On the day of the wedding, everything was executed flawlessly. The food was phenomenal—we received so many compliments from our guests! We chose chicken caprese, rosemary beef, seasoned potatoes, steamed carrots, and arugula salad. Every single dish was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The quality of the ingredients and care in preparation truly stood out. You could tell Cat and her staff take genuine pride in their work.
Equally impressive was the service. Cat’s staff was friendly, professional, and efficient. Everything was served right on time and with such smooth coordination that it elevated the entire dining experience. They made sure everything ran seamlessly, and we felt incredibly well taken care of.
Cat brings a level of dedication and heart to her work that’s rare to find. You can see her love for what she does in every bite, every interaction, and every detail. We are so grateful to her and her amazing team for helping make our wedding so memorable.
We wholeheartedly recommend Pel Appino Catering to anyone looking for outstanding food and service, and we hope we have the opportunity to hire Cat again in the future. She’s a true gem in the catering world.

You know you are having a great wedding day when the food is so spot on and you are having such a great time that you don’t even have to worry. Cat is that person and her company is that company.

My husband and I were guests at our friend’s wedding on December 12, 2025. It was family style dining, which I have never seen done before. They brought the food to the tables on...
platters and we passed it around, from guest to guest. It was amazing! It made us talk to the other guests and it "broke the ice" at the table and we loved it! The food came out HOT! You could see the steam coming off of the food. We had Chicken Pel-Appino, Gorgonzola Tri-Tip (amazing), roasted Broccolini, Black Truffle Parmesan Potatoes and Arugula Feta Pomegranate Salad. Everything was done so well and delicious!!! The staff were great and tended to all of our needs. My husband and I saw Cat bussing tables (she had her name on her shirt) and told her how amazing everything was, and she greeted us with a big smile and said, "thank you so much! We all try our very best to make sure that everyone is taken care of”. I am going to recommend Pel-Appino every time. I have already asked Cat about our company party. You will not regret this decision; they really are that great! Sarah and Tom

I would recommend her time and time again!! Thank you Cat and Pel Appino staff for making our wedding special and keeping our guests well fed!!!

Cat and Pel Appino Catering are hands down the kind of catering company you want for your wedding. Not only her professionalism and no bullshit attitude but her ability to problem ...
solve. She has such big of a heart to make the bride and groom happy on their wedding day! Her food is amazing and so intentional in what she feeds guests. The service she provides in every aspect is beyond exceptional! Anything related to catering and food I had the luxury of not worrying about solely because of who Cat is and how she runs her company. If you’re unsure if you really want to use Pel Appino services let me tell you it is 1000% worth every penny and minute of your time to hire them. I couldn’t have dreamed of a better experience with them.

rofessional and also warm and a joy to work with! We had a large population of vegetarians/vegans at our wedding and Cat was more than happy to go off her provided menu to accommodate dietary restrictions and create a cohesive and delicious menu. Cat and her team travelled to Cascade, ID for our event and were on time, prepared and flexible as the day went on. They kept plates full and had such awesome energy when interacting with our guests, and were even willing to push service back after our timeline ran a little long. We got nothing but positive feedback on the food, and then got to enjoy all the leftovers for the days after! Thank you, Pel-Appino, for being such a pivotal part of our day!

From the very first tasting with Cat, we were hooked! Her food is absolutely amazing—so good it had us literally dancing in our chairs. We couldn’t even agree on which tri-tip was ...
better because we each had our own favorite. Cat settled the debate perfectly by saying, “Why don’t we just serve both and let the guests decide?” That moment alone speaks volumes about her flexibility and desire to make everything just right.
One of our biggest concerns when planning our wedding was finding a caterer who could safely accommodate my husband’s Celiac disease. From the start, Cat was incredibly knowledgeable and reassuring. Most of her food is already Celiac-safe, which was such a huge relief. She made us feel completely confident that our guests—and more importantly, my husband—would be safe and satisfied.
On the big day, Cat’s team arrived early, were organized and professional, and had appetizers ready to go as soon as cocktail hour started. They moved efficiently and kept everything running smoothly, even with our large guest list.
To this day, whenever we talk to friends and family about the wedding, one of the first things they mention is how amazing the food was. We’ve received so many compliments, and we know several guests went back for seconds—it really was that good.
Thank you, Cat and the entire Pel Appino team, for making our wedding meal unforgettable!
If we ever host a large event again, we know exactly who we’ll call—Pel Appino!

From the minute I called Cat, until she left our reception, I was never worried about anything. When we went to the food tasting and she greeted us with a big hug, and we knew tha...
t we were in great hands. The food was amazing, and she helped us navigate through what our vision was and what would work with our budget and make sure that nothing was lost in the shuffle. The menu is so easy, it is all one price, and everything is included, she sent us an estimate and it only varied due to the guest count was more than we expected at the time we booked. On the big day, everything went amazingly (and yes we started late....) We had the charcuterie grazing table for appetizers, Arugula Feta Pomegranate Salad, Broccolini, Black Truffle Potatoes, Chicken Pel-Appino and Marinated Tri-Tip with Rosemary. Everything was over the top! The food was hot!!! and tasted incredible. We thought that the food could not taste any better than the tasting, but we were wrong, it was delicious! Guests have said that it was the best food at any wedding that they have ever had. I cannot say enough about Pel-Appino and Cat. Her team is hands down the best in the state. Her knowledge of the wedding industry and how our vendors got excited when they heard Pel-Appino was catering our wedding, I knew that this was a match made in heaven. I cannot thank Cat enough for all her support and I hope that I can refer Pel-Appino as much as possible. You won't regret anything.

Cat and her team are the best! By far the best food that we have ever had at any wedding, let alone ours. Guests for months have been asking how much they enjoyed the food. But...
the food was only one thing, it was the amount of customer service that we and our guests received. The staff at Pel-Appino is the best in the state. From Brittany who assisted us and our planner to ensure that everything ran smoothly, to Cat who made sure that nothing was forgotten. I cannot convey to anyone how smooth this process was, from beginning to end. From the minute we spoke to Cat on the phone, to the food tasting in her home (with her sweet dog Sam) to every text, phone call and email, she was attentive to us, and she was so quick to respond to us. Even if she was busy, she let us know that she was busy, then got back to us. We just loved everything about this entire experience, and we will stay in touch with Pel-Appino for every catering we need in the future. You cannot go wrong with this choice! I would have given more stars if I could!

Planning:

ry many of the delicious options that they have. They enjoyed the time there and it absolutely helped us plan out a great meal. Cat was also very quick to communicate via email, and we never felt like we were left waiting for a response. This was extremely helpful for us during planning!
Food:
The food was delicious, and we got plenty of compliments from our guests!
We chose the charcutier grazing table as our appetizer, and Cat was also nice enough to throw in two extra appetizers, the "Ricotta with Lemon Basil and honey flat bread" and the "whipped goat cheese and blueberry balsamic crostini". These were great little bites for us, though as the wedding couple we were so busy we hardly had enough time to sit down and enjoy them!
For our main course, the dishes we especially loved were the "Sauteed Zucchini and Yellow Squash with Sundried Tomato Alfredo Sauce", the "Sambal Marinated Tri-tip with Fresh Fruit Tapenade" and the "Chicken Pel-Appino". While everything was delicious, these three were our absolute favorites!
The Wedding:
When the big day arrived, Cat's team was extremely helpful, professional, and incredibly flexible. They did a fantastic job, and we really couldn't have asked for anything more!
Overall, we had a wonderful wedding, and Pel-Appino was a critical part of that! Thanks again to Cat and each and every member of her team!

Cat and her team were amazing! We had a lot of logistical challenges with our venue (including transporting food long distances from the kitchens to the actual locations our guests...
ate, limited cell service, etc) but Cat and her team rose to every challenge with professionalism and grace.
They went above and beyond to assist us with not only food related tasks but with everything we were working on - they worked incredibly hard to make our wedding weekend a reality and I am so grateful we chose them.
Guests especially loved the lemon chicken, the lunch sandwiches (a total sleeper hit), the charcuterie table, and the hot pretzel bar!
We would DEFINITELY recommend Cat and her team for any future events.

monstrated unwavering professionalism, timeliness, and excellent communication that made the entire process a breeze.
First and foremost, the food was nothing short of spectacular. Cat's culinary creations were a delightful journey of flavors and textures that left our guests raving about every dish. From the appetizers to the main courses, each bite was a culinary masterpiece. Her attention to detail in presentation and taste truly set her apart.
The wait staff at my wedding was another shining star in this catering experience. They were not just attentive and efficient; they went above and beyond to ensure that every guest felt special and well taken care of. Their service was not just about delivering plates and clearing tables; it was about creating a memorable dining experience for everyone in attendance. Their professionalism and friendliness added a wonderful touch to our celebration.
Cat runs an outstanding catering business, and I have no doubt that she will continue to thrive in this industry. I can't help but sing her praises to anyone planning future events, whether it's brides-to-be or corporate event planners. She has a knack for delivering exceptional service and exquisite cuisine that will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression on any gathering.
In conclusion, my experience with Cat's catering service was nothing short of extraordinary. Her professionalism, timeliness, and effective communication were the bedrock of the entire experience. However, it was the delicious food and remarkable wait staff that truly stole the show. I have every intention of spreading the word about Cat's exceptional services to all future brides and corporate event organizers. If you're looking for a caterer that consistently exceeds expectations, Cat is the one to trust with your most important events. Thank you, Cat, for making our wedding day unforgettable with your incredible catering!

Also she has so many options, we had a grilled cheese bar at the end of the night with delicious tomato soup. The fact that there are no hidden or last minute fees is just the cherry on top.

Pel-Appino Catering was a dream to work with!
My fiancé and I were struggling to nail down a caterer that fit our budget and our remote location, and we were cutting it close.
Whe...
n I talked to Cat on the phone, it felt like I was talking to a family member. Her warmth and familiarity made me excited to work with her and made me feel lucky we found her.
We wanted a catering company that was streamlined: we didn't want to have to deal with all the little decisions. Pel-Appino absolutely delivered there!
When the wedding day came, Cat and her crew settled in on their own, worked patiently around our delayed scheduled, and laid out delicious food with gorgeous presentations.
What's more, Pel-Appino is very familiar with dietary restrictions and allergies. Two of our guests had gluten and dairy allergies and could eat almost everything!
The only thing I'm sad about concerning our experience with Pel-Appino is that I didn't get to interact with Cat and her crew more. Such sweet people!
I would HIGHLY recommend Cat and Pel-Appino Catering!
They made our wedding meal magical!❤️🌟

hey have 100% earned every 5 star review they have on here but i need y'all to know if i could give then 10 stars i would Cats love and passion for catering is incredible she has so much love for it and will do anything if it means taking a little pressure off the bride and groom. She was so patient while we worked through our bumps in the road from COVID from venue changes to date changes. She was there the whole process from start to finish so responsive and even took the time to call me get to know me and personally introduce herself unlike the other vendors I had looked into who responded back with a menu prices and phone number. She treats you like family not like another paycheck in her pocket. We're forever grateful to have come across Cat and her team, I can promise anyone that reaches out to Cat will not be disappointed. Thank you for making our special day as special as it was we love you Cat.

Cat and her team are absolutely amazing. They were flexible with me through COUNTLESS changes, including dates and times and venues! She was by far my favorite person to work with ...
and she is truly there to make your day or event special! And that's not even talking about the AMAZING dishes she prepares for you. My (now) husband and I went for a tasting at her home and everything she put out was better than the thing we just tried. It was a 'Yes' on the spot. My family talks about the food all the time. You want Cat to cater your wedding. She is the Best ever. ( I would suggest you ask about the Grilled Cheese Bar)!

Cat and her staff were simply amazing! As a guest, I was delighted to see all the different varieties of appetizers and dinner choices (Tri-Tip w/ Gorgonzola sauce & Chicken w/ pe...
ars and brie cheese). It was not just your typical 'wedding' food. They also had this amazing charcuterie board with meats, cheeses, crackers, flatbreads, fruit, etc. that was not only picture perfect but tasted incredible.
If you are looking for a professional caterer that not only serves the best food in the valley but truly becomes your friend. Call Cat - you will not be disappointed!

Cat was a dream! The food was amazing and her team knocked it out of the park. With the pandemic drama and realizing we had to postpone last minute on our March 28th date she help...
ed me through rescheduling and was like a fairy godmother making sure we where taken care of. Her big hug at the wedding is something I will always cherish. The food was everything we hoped for and more! She even made sure we had some appetizers set aside for the wedding party so we would not miss out on them during photos. The personal touches on the food and guidance from beginning to end made the whole experience the least stressful part of the planning.
