****Hi, Everyone! I’m re-sharing some tips (from a couple years back) that will help “us” (Gianna’s Catering) to better help “you” when trying to plan your next event.
****When contacting us to inquire about our availability for an event, the most efficient way to reach us is via “text” to Kristen’s cell phone #(330) 507-4322; or Brian’s cell phone #(330) 550-5384. ****We continue to offer our full catering menus for gatherings or events of at least 30 people or greater. We love when you let us know you liked a particular dish; but, please accept our apologies in advance that we do not sell individual pans. Thank you for your understanding.

****When texting, please include the following:

1) your first and last name;
2) say the date(s) you’re inquiring about;
3) tell us the type of event(s) you’re having;
4) tell us the venue or place(s) you may be holding the event(s);
5) include your email address (so that we may send you a specific, up-to-date menu); and/or,
6) please re-text your cell phone number as well.

THANK YOU AND PLEASE ALLOW US 48 HOURS TO RESPOND. If you don’t hear from us, please send us a reminder text.
P.S. Please note it is due to us taking care of the needs of customers scheduled for that week, that could delay us in responding to you. Once you are “confirmed” with us, we will need the chosen menu & final count NO LESS than 10 days prior.

Thank you! 😊

1/20/23~Good day, Everyone! Here are some ANSWERS to commonly asked questions:

QUESTION 1)
“May I pick up a pan of chicken?” or “I only need macaroni and meatballs—can I get that?”, etc…
ANSWER:
* We are really blessed to have grown into a “full menu” catering service. Please understand that we are a small business desiring to maintain service with excellence. In order to best do so, we apologize but can no longer do only individual pans of food.

QUESTION 2)
“I’m having a gathering for 12 people. May I order from your party menu?”
ANSWER:
* Although we are genuinely pleased you want our food (or have enjoyed it somewhere before), please know we request events of at least 30 people. The time and cost of labor and food make it difficult to cater groups less than 30. We appreciate your understanding about this.

QUESTION 3)
“What’s the quickest way to receive a response from Gianna’s Catering?
(Glad you asked!😄)

I have listed this on here in the past; but for a refresher for all of us, I’d like to share the following steps again…

ANSWER:
Preferred method is to TEXT #(330) 507-4322 with the following information listed:
1) your name;
2) cell phone number;
3) DATE OF EVENT about which you’re inquiring;
4) TYPE OF EVENT (so we may send a specific menu—there are menus for graduations, showers, weddings, parties, brunches, etc.);
5) LOCATION of event (some venues have details requiring specific menus…we need to know which menu to send you);
6) an email address (if you need a menu sent there in addition to or instead of your cell phone);
7) approximate number of guests.

THANK YOU! You will get a follow up text &/or call once this info. is received. It saves us time and will help us to get back to you quicker (than if we don’t have this information). Have a great day! 👨🏽‍🍳👍🏼😊

Our Story

History of Gianna’s Catering

Phyllis Nolfi originally started Gianna’s Catering in 2004, in Lowellville, Ohio, but had been cooking for others for years before. “I originally served my food through the concession stand at the Lowellville High School football games, where people started to notice my cooking. In fact, many people, who were not even football fans, came to get take-out orders before the game.” She was encouraged by many to open her own catering business. So, in 2004, “Gianna’s Catering” was born. Phyllis originally worked through area churches, using their kitchen facilities, and slowly building her reputation. In 2008, she purchased the former Gino’s Restaurant building on East Water Street, in the heart of Lowellville, from where she has been operating since.

When asked about the name of her business, Mrs. Nolfi, with a smile on her face, shared that it was named after her only daughter, Gianna. She jokes, Gianna said that “you can have my name, but that’s all that I’m giving you”, as she wanted no part of the catering business.

Phyllis is quick to credit the core group of ladies who started with her and those who have stayed with her for all these years. The reputation for excellent food and service has kept Gianna’s busy for these many years, with little need for advertising. But Phyllis with her expanding family (including 14 grandchildren), wanted to spend more time with them, and their many activities. She and her husband, Tony, with agreement from their business partners, Leslie and Mike Piccirillo, sold the business to Brian and Kristen Yemma in the summer of 2018.
