05 — ABOUT US

A family kitchen that outgrew the family.

Gargiulo Caterers began in 2016 with Executive Chef Michael Gargiulo cooking for the people he loved — family, friends, neighbors — and the word spread fast.

Almost a decade later, we serve thousands of guests a year across New Jersey and the Tri-State, but we still cook like we're feeding family. That means real ingredients, real technique, and a hospitality standard you'd expect from a restaurant, delivered to wherever the table is set.

From a backyard of twelve to a wedding of five hundred — we show up, we cook, we clean up, and we leave you free to host.
