Pompilio’s is a family-owned catering company situated in Newport, KY, bringing traditional Italian flavors to wedding buffets. Since 1933, the restaurant has undergone various transformations all while keeping its reputation for mouthwatering cuisine deliciously intact. Steeped in history, this delightful catering company specializes in adding home-cooked comfort to largescale events. Offering convenient pick-up times, flexible delivery, and a taste for special occasions, this caterer will ensure your wedding feast will be a memorable hit for every generation.
Originally founded by the Pompilio family, this beloved restaurant has played host to a number of milestone moments. In its 85 years, this historic restaurant has been a 1940s gangster hangout, Frank Sinatra’s rumored dining spot, and a Hollywood film set. Finally settling into the capable hands of the Mazzei family in 1987, the catering company has stayed true to its roots with the continued serving of Mrs. Pompilio’s original homemade ravioli. Today, under the Mazzei family’s careful guidance, this Italian catering company strives to celebrate timeless traditions through the intimate sharing of food.
Pompilio’s offers a host of services including delivery, setup, and cleanup. You and your loved one are welcome to enjoy a pre-event tasting to trial some of the team’s signature dishes and irresistible familiar flavors. Though buffets are where Pomilio’s shine, they are happy to offer delectable hors d’oeuvres and plated meals with the option of friendly servers. A bartending service is also available to provide a cocktail reception, a champagne toast, and your very own signature drink.

s job even though the venue was 1-1/2 hours from his location. He suggested entrees that would travel well, he arrived on time, set up and was ready to serve when guests were scheduled to eat. The food was delicious and hot. His staff is friendly, accommodating, efficient and easy to work with. Many guests commented about the delicious food. I highly recommend you consider Pompillios and Ken for your next special event. You will not be disappointed.
