Dino's Catering - Wickliffe, Ohio

have been coming here for years and years and I have been out of town so of course being back in town I want to get some local favorites. I went to Dino’s to get a side of Cartelli and meatballs and it cost $14. Plus not even full half serving. A full serving are $15 I have never felt so used for half ass food before. The meatballs and the sauce you taste they were burnt. You can never get the burnt flavor out of sauce. I am so sad that this place has gone down so much and then on top of it I’m paying more money. Never coming back again and it breaks my heart to say this because it was a childhood favorite. This place has totally gone downhill and will not be back. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

I attended a bridal shower this past weekend at The
Pine Ridge Country Club catered by Dino’s. The food was fabulous and the servers were incredibly friendly. I highly recommend Dino’s Catering if you are looking for great food and service.

I held my wedding at Pine Ridge Country Club this past November, & let me tell you - the whole process leading up to the day, as well as the day of, was amazingly smooth! Nina is the absolute BEST to work with! She is so kind, so knowledgeable, & so very responsive & helpful! Nina & her staff went above & beyond to make sure every detail was exceptional for my wedding reception, & I can’t thank them enough! It was a magical night! The process of choosing entrees, drinks, & appetizers was seamless because of Nina. I didn’t have to worry about a thing - the day of because Nina & the wonderful staff had everything set up to the tee. Also, the venue is beautiful & the food is delicious! I would highly recommend Pine Ridge & Dino’s to anyone looking to have a beautiful event! I’d love to have another event there in the future & work with Nina!!

We held a brunch wedding reception for about 70 close friends and family on June 15, 2019. Overall, food was tasty but service was not great. Ultimately, for what we paid at Manakiki’s, I feel very let down.

Leading up to the day, Patty was fairly responsive via email, not as much via phone. She was pleasant although there were some obvious miscommunications about some details regarding type of food service, information required of guest meal choices, and some other little details, but they were fixed.

The day before our wedding, my mom, dad and I brought our decorations and centerpieces during the agreed upon time, which Patty assured me was fine. Upon signing a contract, another worker had told us that centerpieces could be put up for us and simple assembly would be done as long as we told them what we needed to be done. My mom was explaining the simple assembly to Patty and she proceeded to disrespectfully roll her eyes and inform my mom that she is “not a florist” and wouldn’t be arranging flowers. (Centerpiece picture attached, all fake flowers were glued down ahead of time, only needed the lanterns put down in the middle and table number propped up.)

This obviously left a terrible impression on my family and were not exactly the right words to say to a family right before the big day. Patty was rushing and clearly distracted. Our needs were not Patty’s concern. She informed us she would not be with us during the reception, but she assured us her stand-in would help with whatever we needed.

Kathy, her stand-in who I was meeting for the first time day-of, was nice. However, walking in the door having just wrapped up our ceremony, she reminded us that there was another reception after us and we needed to make sure we were out by 3:30pm. This is NOT the way to greet the bride and groom-- and we well were aware of the time we had agreed to leave! They also told my photographers to eat downstairs, away from the guests since they were vendors. They were clearly on my seating chart and --exactly how were they supposed to take photos while eating downstairs? My photographers were confused and quite frankly, insulted. It was absurd. Upon arrival, I felt rushed and not wanted.

The food was good and I think my guests had a nice time. But ultimately, the details and service were just not there--it seemed like the staff wasn’t ready for us and were really just waiting for us to leave. I understand a venue like this is busy during a day with several weddings, but this is not how to treat customers that are paying a grand amount to host a nice meal here. The way we were treated just was not acceptable, and I would NOT recommend this place for more than a round of golf.

I have put on two events through Dino's Catering now and they have both been wonderful! We hosted our Wedding at Pine Ridge in 2020 when Covid forced us to change our plans last minute, and then this past weekend we just hosted my Baby Shower at Manakiki. Nina Fillar helped organize both events and couldn't have made things easier! The prices are extremely reasonable, the food is delicious, their spaces are beautiful, and their day of staff is always friendly, helpful, and overall just wonderful to work with!

We hosted a surprise birthday party for our Pastor here. The staff was very accommodating. They were helpful with last minute arrangements. The food was good. The ambiance was just what I was looking for, as the event was formal. And the price was just right. I would highly recommend this venue. Thank you Diane and the rest of the staff.

We hosted our daughter and son-in-law's wedding at Manakiki/Dino's Catering on 10/6/23. We received many compliments from our guests about the food, the venue and Ceremonial Grove Area. The food was delicious and served family style. The venue was beautiful and the outdoor ceremony area was stunning! Absolutely loved the newly remodeled bridal suite area for getting ready for the day! Nina Filar and the staff at Manakiki made the day absolutely perfect! We can't thank them enough for their time and attentiveness to the details!

We made the best choice in our selection of a venue for 8 of us on Mother's Day. The staff and servers were incredibly friendly and very attentive. The buffet was out of this world and included a smorgasbord of fabulous food ranging from fresh fruit and berries to waffles, omelets to order, sausage, bacon and carved beef and ham. And that was just the breakfast part of brunch. There was an Italian station with Dino's famous chicken picatta, eggplant parmesan, and rigatoni. Another station included freshly carved roast beef (which I was told was delicious by a number of our fellow diners) and ham.Salads, vegetables, and a number of delectable dessert selections were also available. Everyone in our party agreed that it was the best choice we had made for Mother's Day Brunch, and I am sure we will return next year.
