Suzanne Savell, Development Director, Crag Law Center

"We just wanted to thank you for an incredible culinary experience at our donor fundraiser this year! It was by far the BEST food ever served in our events history! You staff was amazing to work with! Well done!"

Sheda Dikeman, Administrator, Serenity Home Care

"Mezzaluna and Chef John are the best! We had them cater our anniversary party and it was an amazing experience! The food was great, they are so well organized, and everyone including the kids had a wonderful time! Thanks so much to the whole team at Mezzaluna for such a great event!"

Carra Sahler, Director of Public Interest Law Lewis & Clark Law School

"Mezzaluna catered an event for hundreds of lawyers, judges and their children at an outside picnic-type event. Chef John, Robert and the rest of the staff were prepared, courteous, and gracious and the food was absolutely delicious! Every guest I asked had nothing but very positive things to say about the food and service! Mezzaluna would be my first choice for our catering again!"

Phil & Lorena Ensminger

“We are so impressed with Mezzaluna’s outstanding team of professionals. We have never eaten a dinner where all the courses were perfectly balanced. Their presentation is outstanding. The dinner was extraordinary.”

Pat Sandler-Welch, Owner of Boly:Welch

Mezzaluna has been my go-to caterer for many years. We first collaborated on Boly:Welch’s 25th anniversary party, and they did such a great job we’ve called them in for many, many events, including our 30th anniversary mega event. John Paulk’s team does more than serve delicious food – they make it look so beautiful, you don’t know if you should eat it or frame it."

Sherri Monier, NIKE

Nike Maxim Tech Awards Dinner. “Chef John, the bid for our 4-day NIKE meetings wasn't the least expensive, but there was no doubt that of all the Portland caterers we've used, Mezzaluna is by far the very best in terms of service and exceptional food. The best money we've ever spent for catering. Thank you so very much.”

Steve Squires

"The food was great. That's why we hired Mezzaluna to help us plan a rehearsal dinner for our son's wedding. Chef John, Robert and team looked over the venue and figured out how to accommodate 68 friends and family from out of town. Not to mention 8 late additions the day before the 4th of July! Service, timing and attention to detail was amazing and made the evening extra special."

Hon. Heidi H. Moawad

"Thank you so much for all that you did to ensure my investiture was a success! You met my budget, then knocked it out of the park both with your amazing food and gorgeous displays! I lost count of the compliments! Thanks again"

Cindy Noyes

What an amazing and fun group of people! The food was fantastic, the care was impeccable. Chef John and his team went above and beyond for our housewarming soiree and we highly recommend them!

Hon. Harry Reid, Former US Senator

"I've had some of the best catering in the world and Mezzaluna is one of those special ones. The food was delicious, all the courses were perfectly balanced, and the service was excellent. Made the dinner truly a great experience!"

Elizabeth Aspray – President, Sysco Foods Oregon

"Mezzaluna is the best. 500 plus people they served and our entire table was wondering how the food stayed so hot and was so delicious once it hit our table. We've never experienced that before."

Hon. Edward Leavy, Sr. Judge, Ninth US Circuit Court of Appeals

"Mezzaluna was truly one of a kind in catering. The service was impeccable, food was delicious and they were so respectful and gracious catering the annual event we hold at my Leavy family farm. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs a quality catering experience"

Christy Delamarter

“I have not stopped thinking about this special dinner since devouring it. Chef John killed it (as always). The Asiago Polenta alone was enough to bring you to your knees.”

Robyn Dillion

"Mezzaluna is truly the best. I have used them on many occasions both personally and for my business and a Chef John and his team are absolutely amazing at what they do. The service is perfect and food presentation and quality of cuisine is by far the best in the NW. I would recommend them to anyone for any occasion! I just love working with them!"

Elaine and Linda Nash-Bienvenue

"Elaine and I can’t thank you enough for everything you did to create such a lovely and delicious wedding for us. Every detail was impeccably thought through. Your servers were friendly and professional and all so cute. The appetizers were lovely, especially the vegan lettuce wraps! So good! And dinner, what can I say. The salad was light and refreshing with a perfect vinegrette and the entrees were so flavorful and presented beautifully. Dessert was over the top! Perfection. And, thank you for taking such good care of our two vegans too! "

Jane Goodall, World-renowned anthropologist

“Chef John, thank you for making the evening so special.”

Toni Tringolo, Albertina Kerr

"We worked with Mezzaluna on one of the most important events in our organization's history. They were truly amazing and went above and beyond!. Food was spectacular and absolutely delicious, presentation is by far the best in town and working with Robert, Chef John and their whole team was an absolute joy! Things went so smooth and worry-free compared to any other caterer we've ever worked with! Thanks, Mezzaluna!

Angela Querfeld – Director of Development, Oregon Food Bank

Thank you Mezzaluna! Your team did an amazing job – and the food was out of this world. I still will never know – even though I’ve seen the behind the scenes operations – how in the world you are able to pull together delicious food for over 450 people and have it delivered to each table still hot and lovely! It’s like magic if you ask me!!

Tracy Curtis, President, Wells Fargo Bank

"I have used Mezzaluna on multiple occasions and they are our "go-to" caterer for a reason. The food is delicious, the presentation is impeccable and the staff is incredibly professional. They are truly the best in the NW."

Lisa Noah, COO, Oregon Historical Society

Mezzaluna's staff is amazing! They took our idea and made it better and more beautiful that we could have imagined. Our Board Holiday Party was the best thanks to the excellent service and fantastic food. I heard nothing but compliments from the Board members, including them asking to have Mezzaluna back for this year's Holiday Party. You can't ask for anything better than what Chef John and his team provides their clients.
