Scolari’s Catering

Absolutely the best burger in the Bay Area. What more is there to say? Okay blueberry bacon burger is crazy creative and delish.

I’ve always loved Scolari’s, but I recently attended a fundraiser event that they catered that inspired me to say very nice things in writing! Amazing food (jumbalaya and other New Orleans-​inspired food)… friendly service… in short, they rocked it. I highly recommend them!

We threw a birthday party for my wife in Alameda, and from her bucket list she wanted a 6 foot sub sandwich delivered. Scolari’s went out of their way to research bakeries that might make a 6 foot loaf to put together such a sancwich. No luck there, but in the end it turned out better than ever because Scolari’s bread is to die for. They put it together to look as if we’d had a 7 foot sub cut up… so the wife was thrilled when she arrived… and all the guests LOVED the sandwiches. To echo a previous reviewer, the food got as many if not more compliments than the event location we’d picked out. Andie and Mike were great to work with… they really take care of you.

Yes, yes, Scolari’s food is unbelievably good and it’s great to sit at the Lucky 13 and enjoy it. But did you know they do catering? Yes, it’s true! Mike and team catered our wedding this summer and IT. WAS. FANTASTIC. Mike was so flexible working with our budget and was super quick to understand the down-​home vibe we were looking for. (Though he also has extensive experience catering and can fancy it up as much as you’d like.) They did not disappoint. They served out of the hip Airstream trailer and set up a lovely buffet of pulled pork, buffalo fries, hush puppies, slaw, and all the fixins, and the foxy helper gals tray-​passed snacks for those who couldn’t wait. They put house-​made pickles in mason jars on all our tables and our guests were fighting over who got to take the extras home. All our guests commented something along the lines of, «Yeah, yeah, congrats on the marriage, but WHO MADE THIS FOOD!!!» The whole Scolari’s team was super easy to work with and completely surpassed our expectations on every front.
