Bistro to Go Cafe & Catering

tire process with.  From the start, Bistros communication was absolutely amazing. They provided great options to pick from and then scheduled a delicious tasting that we were able to bring both of our parents too. All of the food was fantastic and they let us sample everything we were interested in and other options as well. When my husband and I were at odds on an option, they kindly prepped two portions special for us the day of! In addition, they were very concerned and conscientious about our couple guests with allergies or dietary restrictions. They made sure to note every single detail regarding these guests and accommodated them to make sure they had a full meal. The day of the wedding the team arrived early and prepared. They plated our 200+ dozen cookie table, assembled a massive charcuterie spread, prepped all their food, serve salads, waited on tables, boxed up all the leftovers, and cleaned everything up. If you were looking for a team that is organized, great with communication, and truly knows how to organize a great event I would highly recommend Bistro to Go for all your catering and party needs! 

very first meeting, she made us feel seen, heard, and supported. When we were feeling overwhelmed and unsure about decisions, Nikki stepped in with just the right mix of kindness, clarity, and confidence. Her guidance helped everything come together smoothly, and we knew from the start we were in excellent hands. Another standout was Patty, who was with us from our tasting all the way to the big day. She treated us like family — always warm, genuine, and full of joy. From helping us select the perfect menu to setting up our cookie table with such care and heart, Patty brought a personal touch that made everything feel even more special. The food? Absolutely unforgettable. Our guests are still raving about it. Everything was beautifully presented, delicious, and served with professionalism. The team accommodated every detail and dietary need effortlessly. If you’re looking for a caterer that delivers not just incredible food, but also true hospitality and heart, look no further than Bistro to Go. Nikki, Patty, and the entire team made us feel supported and celebrated every step of the way. We can’t thank them enough for being such a special part of our wedding day. - The Zeitlers

, which elevated the whole experience. We enjoyed a lovely bridal brunch while getting ready, which was a perfect start to the day. They provided a gorgeous arrangement for cocktail hour that impressed all our guests right away. Our dinner was absolutely delicious! They made sure we ate by setting up the perfect portion of each dish at our sweetheart table, so it was waiting for us when we sat down. One of our favorite touches was how they arranged and continuously replenished our Pittsburgh cookie table throughout the evening. It was a huge weight lifted off of our shoulders! Even a year later, we’re still talking about how incredible the food was. Bistro To Go truly made our wedding day even more special with their amazing catering, beautiful displays, and professional service. Highly recommend!

wn to eat during dinner, they brought extras of our favorite things to be sure we didn’t miss out on them from cocktail hour, they accommodated food allergies/preferences with ease and grace. Everything was gorgeous and the amount of compliments we’ve gotten on the food is insane. We had multiple meetings to confirm every tiny detail, and when I wasn’t sure about something they helped immediately. They paid attention to our wants for the wedding and the details of our lives outside of the wedding and made connections with us as a couple. I cannot recommend them enough, and I’m genuinely sad I don’t get to keep working with them now that the wedding is over.

ail hour was beautiful and the waffle bar was FANTASTIC. Really. Don't sleep on the idea of a waffle bar. The staff was amazing and kind. The food was great. They were also very accommodating for children and people with dietary restrictions. We love them

s. They were efficient, organized, thorough, supportive, professional, thoughtful, and not to mention so friendly and sweet. They seriously knew what they were doing to ensure that our big night ran smoothly and to make sure that my spouse and I, as well as all of our guests, had everything we needed throughout the event. We felt like we were in great hands throughout the entire process. We got a LOT of compliments from our guests on Bistro to Go’s food following our dinner service and everything was delicious and well-prepared. We elected for a buffet and guests were eager to go up for seconds. Bistro to Go was also very accommodating to help our vision and ideas come to life within our budget, and they were super accommodating of all our guests with dietary restrictions, including allergies. I highly recommend them if you are considering them to cater your wedding!

ur big day. The food and service will not disappoint!!!

answered all of our questions. The invoicing was also clear and easy to digest. They were able to accommodate all the food allergies our guests had as well. The day of our guests were awed at the grand display during our cocktail hour and raved about how great each course was. We would absolutely suggest you work with Bistro to Go!

redibly friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to make our day special. From start to finish, every interaction with Bistro to Go was extremely personal, making us feel like we deserved the best for our big day. We had so much fun at our tasting, trying all the different options and crafting the perfect menu with their team. Our parents and grandparents came with us to our tasting too, which made the moment extra special. The day of our wedding, the setup looked incredible and the staff was very attentive. They checked in constantly, ensuring us and our guests had whatever we needed. Not to mention, they did an incredible job setting up our beautiful cookie table! If you're looking for a caterer who provides delicious food, excellent service, and a stress-free experience, look no further than Bistro To Go!

ces. They are super accommodating and helpful during the planning process. They did an amazing job at the wedding from serving the salads to setting up our cookie table. Everyone raved about their food. Highly recommend!

food was FANTASTIC! And they even manned the PGH cookie table, which was super important for my mother-in-law. I highly recommend them!

t you’d expect from a typical wedding caterer, and the variety on the menu was really impressive. We had a family member pass before the wedding, and received a beautiful flower arrangement from their staff to lift our spirits. That kind of thoughtfulness and care embodies exactly the kind of company they are. Thank you to Tim, Nikki, Kayla, Shauna, and the whole crew!!

make the day run smoothly was so incredibly helpful. Not only did the food taste amazing (the whipped cream potatoes were out of this world!), but it looked so beautiful. We had so many guests compliment how good our food was. They exceeded our expectations, and we cannot thank them and the staff enough for the time and work that went into our day! Special shoutout to Laurie for helping us coordinate everything and being on top of everything the day of (and keeping us hydrated during our outdoor wedding during a heat wave)!

oyalty on our wedding day, I cannot say enough incredible things about their communication, presentation, service, and the unreal food we had. Our families haven't stopped raving about it and fought over the leftovers. Huge thanks to Shauna, Tim, and Chef Rick for all their hard work. They were a dream to work with and the food was such a highlight of our celebration.

imentary tasting and the chefs even hopped on zoom calls throughout the planning to make sure the menu had been completely perfected. Shauna and the team also worked with us to provide the most inclusive menu possible - with plenty of gluten free options and nut free options in addition to the wedding being fully vegan. This made sure everyone attending the wedding could fully enjoy the food, which was extremely important to us. All of my non-vegan friends and family were raving about the food! My meat-eating uncle actually said "if all vegan food tasted like this I could go vegan." The meals were beautifully plated and the service was excellent. My non-vegan parents were so relieved and happy we went with Bistro. We had actually started with another company for our wedding, but after hiring them it was very difficult to reach them and when we did, it didn't feel like there was a willingness to work on customizing a menu for our wedding. We ended up switching to Bistro to Go and it was the best decision we made.

tions we had (even if we thought we were asking stupid ones, lol). Everyone was blown away by the food! I think that was the most frequent compliment we got through the night. A couple months after we'd done our tasting and picked our menu, I got diagnosed with celiac disease. As someone who was still adjusting, I got nervous about asking for any sort of accommodation. It was no problem for them, and they were happy to provide us with gluten free crackers and pasta. I cannot recommend Bistro To Go enough. They're worth every penny!

options to decide what we wanted to serve at our wedding. The team helped us in our decision making with what foods would pair best. Wedding day, everyone raved about the hors d vours, especially the grand display charcuterie board! Our dual-plated chicken & beef meal was amazing too! They were efficiently with serving all 200+ guests their meals & were careful in accommodating many food allergies too. Throughout the planning process & on our wedding day, Bistro was a dream team to work with for catering!

m our wedding guests regarding the food they provided. 10/10 will always recommend.

rk with. From the first phone call, to our private tasting, all of my emails back & forth and then finally our wedding day, we couldn't have chosen better! Bistro to Go was easy to work with & very helpful in guiding us through the process of choosing our wedding reception dinner. They also helped us choose our bartender, and were great at coordinating with Eventioneers who handled all of our rentals (table cloths, flatware, dishes, etc.) for the day. Most importantly, the food was beyond delicious. Many if not most of our guests came up to us during and after the wedding saying how impressed they were with the food. The staff was so friendly and professional and helped to make our day that much more special. We would 1000% hire them again and definitely will do so in the future. 😊

her team truly care about their couples and their wedding days. We were really able to tailor our menu to our liking and keep it in our budget. Our guests raved about the food and we definitely feel like it was not your average wedding food. Highly pleased and thankful for the bistro staff!

yle dinner that included two of their signature stations, and two that we imagined as a reflection of our relationship (chinese takeout and a Pittsburgh/Tampa mashup). They were accommodating of the various dietary constraints of our guests and worked with us to make adjustments that kept us within our budget. The food was absolutely delicious and our only regret from our wedding was not eating more of it! Every step along the way, from the consultation phone call, to the private tasting, to the prepared plates for us during the reception, made us feel special and assured us our requests were being met.

e had to wait on anything so #worthit.

from answering my endless emails to putting on a beautiful tasting and coming up with new and creative dishes for us (I'm a vegetarian, so it was really important to me to have plenty of great vegetarian options (like fake chicken and waffle apps and vegan crab cakes for dinner!)) I also love how much Bistro values sustainability and having a positive impact on the community. I definitely recommend Bistro to Go!

n or salmon - and we are STILL hearing accolades from our guests about how delicious the food was and about the high quality service. From our original inquiry/the booking process, to the execution of the meal itself and everything in between -- they were phenomenal! One of the most important things for us on our day was the food and Bistro did not disappoint. Would book them 10 times over. Highly recommend!!!

Both of our families met downtown for a tasting about a year before the wedding, and we were blown away. We did no other tastings because we were so confident in their food and service. Nikki has created such an amazing company that truly feels like a family! The servers that worked our wedding were the absolute best. As mentioned above, it was the hottest day ever and those servers never let a guest’s glass of water run dry. They were CONSTANTLY checking on my husband and me throughout the evening. We chose a buffet style dinner with lots of hours d'orves and the most spectacular cheese and fruit display that I have ever seen. The lemon parm chicken, pierogies and kielbasa, and brie with this delicious caramel sauce were just a few of my personal favorites!

udget was too low. She did offer to discuss options over the phone, however when I ask for her availability to chat, I never heard back from her again. This was frustrating coming from the preferred vendor for our venue. We ended up having to pay a fee to bring in an outside caterer because this recommended one was so hard to work with.

tsburgh Station with pierogies, kielbasa, and mini Primanti style sandwiches. A second station had comfort favorites like Parmesan pasta and BBQ brisket. The food was truly incredible. It is far and away the best wedding food I ever had. Plus, everyone at Bistro is a joy to work with. I had great experience with Nikki, Shauna, Kayla, and all of our day of staff. At the last minute, we were able to add on a catered lunch for our bridal party that Bistro delivered to our hotel. I would definitely recommend Bistro if you are looking for an efficient, organized caterer who can make even the most unusual vision come to life!

nning process and everyone who worked the event was super polite to all of our guests. Everything was very organized and our guests were served quickly. The food was absolutely delicious and we received so many compliments! We cannot thank you enough for everything!

ests are still raving about the steak and crab cake dinner!!! Everything was absolutely perfect. The appetizers and charcuterie table were beautifully displayed, so delicious and enjoyed by our guests. The team at the Bistro were responsive to all of our phone calls and emails and I felt that each and every question or concern was handled professionally and in a timely manner. I’m so glad we chose The Bistro!!!! Can’t wait to use them again!!!

wedding and they created exactly what we were looking for! The food was phenomenal and the presentation was beautiful. The entire team was so personable and friendly. You can't ask for a more dedicated team to make your event special.

i. I could expand greatly, but to summarize for those taking the time to read this review I will shorten what all went down. The contract states that you have unlimited phone calls to discuss your wedding menu, but even when I gave the courtesy of pre-scheduling dates and times with the owner Nikki she put me on hold several times and then asked if she could call me back. I understand they are a busy place, but I work full time and have a busy schedule too. It made me feel un-important, and this happened on more than one phone ‘appointment’ occasion. We chose to have stations at our wedding and not ONCE did Nikki or any of her staff tell us that stations take longer to serve, or that our venue Pinerock Farm was not a good set up for stations. Nikki claims (yes I have this is writing!) she met us in person twice at the Bistro to discuss her concerns, problem is I’ve NEVER met the woman. I’m not sure if she has me confused with another customer, or she really just lies. Dinner service took at least an hour and a half (although I wish I’d timed it myself, because it felt like 2.5 hours…) The band wasn’t able to start playing and guests even left because they had eaten long ago and the reception wasn’t beginning… We even did a walk through at the venue a few days before the wedding where Nikki the owner was supposed to be on site, but she didn’t show up, and didn’t tell me she wouldn’t be attending, She instead sent two of her staff members who were professional, organized, and I feel did a great job overall, If there were an issue with the floor plan which was not conducive for a station menu, why didn’t these ladies say anything at the meeting, even when I asked if this set up was going to be a problem? I feel because Nikki made it up to cover up instead of owning things and being a professional business owner. The ladies who work for Bistro I apologize because I loved working with you, and none of this is your fault. I put the blame on the owner Nikki. I have a crazy email thread going back and forth with the owner trying to make sense of what happened, but I was simply looking for answers of why it took our guests so long to be served. If I’d known what I know now I would have never selected stations for my wedding, and never chose Bistro to Go to cater it. I think the owner attempts to have her hands in everything and micromanage, and she should entrust her staff to take care of things when clearly she can’t keep up with the pace. I’m sure I’ll get more lies in response here from the owner, but I would advise brides to go with a much smaller catering company who truly care about their clients.

like having a wedding coordinator! She has such attention to detail and it was a joy to menu plan with her because she appreciates flavor and presentation so much. The staff at the event were fantastic, and they made everything go so smoothly. Absolutely hire Bistro for any event needs you have as you will receive so much more than amazing food, you get service that is like it is coming from a family member.

ng. They let you know all the equipment you need to rent and meet with you plenty of times leading up to the big day. They also work to make sure everything is perfect. I am obsessed with Parks n Rec and had a sign for our cookie table "Treat Yo Self". Our day of manager, Jess, had a light up sign with this saying. She ran home to grab it for me! They're all seriously incredible, they went above and beyond for us. 10/10 recommend Bistro to Go!

to be as relaxed, welcoming and fun as possible, so we skipped a sit down dinner and did food stations and a large grazing table. I don’t think anyone besides Bistro could have pulled it off, or as beautifully. Our tasting by Chef Rick and Nancy prior to was excellent. My meetings with (and countless questions directed to) Shauna were great - she was always prompt, professional and put me at ease. Jessica, our day of coordinator and lead, was excellent. Staff was so efficient, professional and polite day of! And of course, Nikki and Kayla were wonderfully instrumental throughout this whole process. Truly an incredible, local group to work with. They didn’t just cater our food, they catered to our vision!

e wedding and it was a huge hit. I worked with Nikki and Shauna leading up to the big day and for planning and prep. They were so helpful and sweet. They helped to make sure everything was ready exactly as I envisioned. The banquet manager, chefs, and staff the day of my wedding were also so kind and helpful. The banquet manager ensured I was happy with everything, as did the chef! Multiple staff members also checked in to make sure we were happy with our experience and didn't need anything. We loved our experience with them! We would highly recommend them!

ties. They absolutely hit it out of the park for our wedding and my wife has since used them for company events as well! Highly recommend!!

red about making our day as special as it could be within our budget. We got married on October 30, 2021 and they provided us with an amazing tasting prior to our wedding. The food was delicious! At our wedding the food and the service was top notch. I couldn’t be happier with Bistro. Highly recommend!!

o the event to plan what we wanted, and the food was phenomenal. At our wedding the food was top notch and the service that was provided to all of our guests was second to none. So many of our quests complimented the food and service. We could not have been more happy with Bistro.

ested in the wedding. Some even came out and did the Cha Cha slide with us! I cannot recommend Bistro to Go enough. They were incredible throughout the whole process and clearly cared about making our day as special as it could be.

cess. I know that everyone is extremely busy but each time I talked with anyone at Bistro it was a genuinely enjoyable conversation and felt like I was the only person they were dealing with. Their responsiveness in emails was also excellent. The food arrived on time and the delivery person was very nice. The chicken parmesan was ridiculously good as was everything else. The portions were extremely generous and the price was very reasonable. I really appreciated Nikki working with me to tailor the menu to my small event which was also on a budget. Everyone at the dinner wanted to know where the food was from! A friend of mine is getting married next year and her venue has a choice of Bistro or another caterer. After I raved about our experience, I’m pretty sure she’s going to be using Bistro!

requires. Choosing a caterer is the most important decision because let's face it, food is the center of the reception! From the moment we choose BTG, I knew I could check it off my list and not have to think about it. You were helpful with choosing a menu and when you did the tasting your presentation of the food was gorgeous! Your staff and you were happy to answer the several questions I had as well as accommodating dietary restrictions for some of our guests. Then the big day arrived! Tim was our wedding person, he is fantastic! The entire staff from chef to bus persons were just incredible and SO VERY HELPFUL! And, they are just really nice and pleasant people! I received so many compliments on how wonderful the food was and how beautiful the presentation was. At the end of the night your staff really went above and beyond to help us pack all that stuff you need to make the venue look lovely. I am so very grateful to you and your staff for making the wedding day perfect! If you were in Philly I would send everyone I know needing a caterer to you!

amily and I felt like celebrities. Brandon was our server and made the experience so memorable. My dad is a foodie and could not stop talking about how delicious all the food was. We booked them the next day for our wedding! Our reception venue was at the Stables at Hartwood which is a new wedding venue. Nikki and her team came to multiple site visits to make sure everything would be perfect for our special day. We got married in September and our wedding guests are still talking about how awesome the food was. We ended up doing different stations at our reception which made everything flow great. I have dreams about their butternut squash ravioli because it is spectacular! Nikki really made us feel apart of the Bistro family and we are so thankful for her and her team! Thank you for making our wedding day PERFECT!!
