My 70th Birthday was looming. I was in favor of overlooking it, BUT my dear husband was in favor of a celebration. Wanted to keep it small (only immediate family plus a few best/close friends = 20 people). Our dilemma then was where to have it. Mangia Bevi Cafe came to mind. However, I thought it was open only for breakfast and lunch. Once we learned that they "do" private parties in the restaurant, and particularly in The Venetian Room, we were good to go. Met with Mario Reed, the restaurant manager, to plan the menu, select the linens, and determine all other details. EASY! Professional. I selected the cake I wanted from another source, contacted my go to florist for flowers, and made the place cards (because I wanted to & knew what I preferred.) The evening event was too wonderful, perfect and outstanding. From beginning to end, I was treated like the Queen herself. I have never enjoyed a party we have given more than this one. The food was cooked to perfection. No one went home hungry. Received many compliments from the attendees plus a few hand written thank you notes (becoming a lost art). The staff was gracious, Mario made certain every detail was covered, and seemed to read my mind as the evening went, anticipating what I needed, was thinking etc. etc. Kuddos to the Chef, Mario, the staff, and Larry & Jill DiPasquale. We would highly recommend this to anyone asking, and would certainly do this kind of celebration again with them. A great location (Greenwood Village), and a lovely venue to hold a party either large or small. Thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

We hired them for our wedding after an extensive search because they appeared to be professional and on top of things. And they were...until the day of the wedding. They were 3 hours late! We had to postpone the start of the ceremony because the food truck had not arrived. When we asked why, we received a vague answer about it not making it up the hill. So there wasnt any food for the wedding party as we planned. When they finally did get things going they failed left and right. The coffee, when it was eventually put out was cold, the food was not nearly the quality we tasted months before at their kitchen, and a few of our wedding party got snarky, rude responses from the staff when asking for basic things. When we tried to follow up to get an understanding of what went wrong, they gave us the run around, continuing with vague answers. After two weeks, we finally found out that the reason for the 3 hour delay was because they forgot half the food when they initially arrived and turned around to drive back to Denver to get it. Common sense would say to at least drop off what you have or call for another truck to drive up. They were petty in negotiations on the cost and refund for their failed service. In the end, one of most unprofessional companies I have experienced. You only get a wedding day once, and they blew their end of the deal big time.

Epicurean in Denver recently catered my wedding and while the food was great...the service leading up to and after were HORRIBLE! Their method of dealing with clients is quite surprising considering how long theyve been in business. Things that were offered to win them the business were later taken away, costs began to mysteriously increase while the menu did not change, day-of specifics were withheld until 48 hours before...making for a nightmare few days leading up to. To top everything off, after the wedding our CC was charged additional money with NO explanation. When asked to provide details, we were told, "Sorry you have a bad taste in your mouth about our billing, and by the way our CFO did you a favor and decided not to charge you for your tasting, we normally charge the client back for that". WOW! Especially since the "free" tasting in question was meant to save the business as our first experience with Epicurean food was awful. Oh and need I mention that the friends we referred to them just signed a contract....sure wish I had known all of this before the recommendation. SO I say couples BEWARE...stay on top of them and dont let them take advantage of you during what should be a blissful experience.

Epicurean just catered my wedding a few days ago, and I couldnt say enough about how amazing the event went. They not only stayed there and served food the entire time, but they went above and beyond to make sure that I was comfortable and taken care of. The leader of my group Lauryn was just adorable, and made sure that she saved us some of the appetizers before they were all gone. She left them on our sweetheart table, and also made sure we had some water. It almost made me cry it was so thoughtful! The food was absolutely delicious, and I had many comments that it was some of the best food that my guests had ever had!! If I could do it all again, I would no doubt pick the same vendors. Epicurean worked well with all of my vendors, Jessica always answered my emails and phone calls and was very easy with all of my changes. I love this group, and thank you to all of the people that helped make my wedding just perfect. I also HEART Jessica Stapp. The end !

Ive been a wedding planner in the Denver area for the past 12 years and try to use Epicurean for catering whenever possible!! They are truly a class act when dealing with brides and I know they have seen it all! They have proven time and time again that they will do whatever they can to make my couples feel that their event is unique and special, of course without compromising their integrity or commitment to quality. Their event staff has endless patience and will explain things multiple times whenever needed. They can also adjust as necessary when budgets change. Dont be fooled, this company is the one to use for any event that requires your guests to be PLEASED, IMPRESSED, DELIGHTED and best of all, WELL FED!!!

We had a great experience with Epicurean last weekend! They were friendly, helped to educate us on our options, and catered a beautiful evening for our event (100+ guests). Pricing was competitive and our invoice aligned to our bid (a bit more but we added 2 items after the bid so we expected this). Our guests raved about the food. Hot items stayed hot, there were lots of passed apps (no chasing down a server to try to get a bite), and our stations were beautiful. Equally important, everything was carried off seamlessly. We touched base with the catering manager before the event and then my husband and I were able to enjoy our evening without having to think about the details. Overall, an A+ experience.

Amazing food! If there was one thing you know is that the food will be top notch. Our 150-ish wedding was held at the Palazzo Verdi where Epicurean is the exclusive caterer. Lots of compliments on the ravioli. I was worried that after being locked in I would regret it. Well at first there was some sticker shock, but our manager left and in working with the new one we got to a price that was right where we thought it should be. Of course then I fret that we had moved to some basic, bland, nothing of a menu. All my worries were gone after the tasting. It was fantastic! I am convinced that they will refuse to make anything boring and can accommodate you whatever level you are looking for. Highly recommend!
