Love & Garlic

The other night I learned to make my own Easter Pie in the kitchen of Love & Garlic ! I was baking with 9 other wonderful classmates in this clean, well designed kitchen while Nancy was sharing her family secrets of making a truly delicious Easter favorite .The other little essentials to a successful baking lesson were not held back! I learned so much & loved it. At the end of the evening I had 2 Easter Pies to bring home along with the recipe . I am looking forward to the next featured class that will be offered on a variety of Love & garlic favorites !Dori G

We used to love and garlic for our son's wedding reception. Very good service, very good food. Recommend the mushrooms and beef entrees.

I'm from the area but currently live in Texas. My wedding will be in the Fresno area and that being said my mom has been helping me tremendously in planning my wedding. My mother had tasted their food at a family friends wedding and she really enjoyed the food. She kept them in mind since she knew I was getting married pretty soon. My mother had been in contact with them for a few months about catering for my wedding, but nothing could be set in stone until I tasted their food which wouldn't be until I could fly out in June, which was fine with them since nobody had booked with them. So in June, I tasted the food with my mother, my future mother in law (whom only speaks Spanish), and my little sister. The food was execellent but I did decide I wanted to go with just appetizers. Ok, great! Or so we thought. They did email the numbers for the appetizers but we did need to do some number adjusting on our end. Next thing I know, my mother gets a phone call from them saying that they had ended up booking some other wedding, the same date as mine, that is going to be out of town and had chosen a lot more than just appetizers and that because they had put their deposit down first, they couldn't do my wedding any more!Well thanks! It would have been nice to have been given the common courtesy to know that another party had been looking at the same date as me. We had already told other caterers no because we were going to book with Love and Garlic. Not to mention I had to wait to fly out to California and taste the food for myself to make any type of decision!! Everybody else had given us the courtesy of letting us know if they were talking to another party for the same date as my wedding. We were really looking forward to enjoying their food on my wedding, but that went down the drain. I really do think they went with the other party without letting us know before hand because that meant a bigger check for them. I know business is business and everybody wants to make their money but a major key in business is building relationships!! I would think they would know better for a business that has been in the industry for so long. But anyways, they left a bitter taste in my mouth after my experience. And you can bet that we won't bother using them for my future sister in laws wedding next year, since her wedding will be small and the check won't be big enough for them! So you better make sure you have your check books out and ready if you decide to go with them other wise it's on to the next for them! 2 stars for the great food and presentation, but very poor business moral and communication skills.

Love and Garlic catered my nephew's wedding this past Sunday night. This was absolutely the best food I've ever eaten at a wedding!! We had a wonderful salad that knocked my socks off! Then pumpkin ravioli, wild rice, and huge portions of stuffed portobello mushrooms! Absolutely divine!! We are a largely vegetarian group, that being said, no one missed the meat!! My brother who is not a vegetarian said, "If all vegetarian food was like this, I could be one!' Don't pass them by, and don't go for standard dishes, they outdid themselves!!

I scheduled an appointment based on some reviews from friends to talk to Love and Garlic about catering for our wedding. Nancy was almost a half hour late for the appointment, so we just sat and waited. There were poorly assembled binders of photos of food that we flipped through while we waited, but nothing that really helped us. Once Nancy arrived, she started interviewing us about our wedding. She NEVER asked us what kind of food we wanted, or how much we wanted to spend- she spent the entire hour asking us about the schedule of the wedding events, and giving us (unsolicited) advice about how the wedding should go. We had to cut her short because we had another appointment (I thought two hours would be enough time), so we left without ANY information about the menus or pricing. It was confusing and frustrating. Nancy was nice, and she was good at responding to my emails, but other than that, her service left plenty to be desired. It's too bad, because I heard the food is really good.

Contacted the business by phone, spoke to Jen, got a minimal response and after trying two more times to get my questions answered and receive a quote for my event - decided that poor communication will amount to poor service. Thanks but no thanks!

Phenomenal business. Professionalism is key, and it shows. I would recommend Love And Garlic to anyone looking for catering no matter the size of the event. Always provides more than promised and goes above and beyond any catering company in Fresno amd Clovis.

I engaged Nancy to cater -- and totally arrange -- a party for 60 at the San Joaquin River Parkway. I'm from Alabama, and I asked Nancy to handle everything. And she did. Perfectly. She coordinated with the venue, with the bar, arranged all the rentals and guided in me in every way. I had total trust in her, and she far exceeded all my expectations.And the food!! Beautiful, delicious, artfully presented and inventive. We had the "Early California" menu with carnitas, tamales, grapefruit and avocado salad, carne asada with chimmichurri, black beans and sheshido peppers with sweet potatoes. Everything was FABULOUS. All the guests raved. It was the most fun event I've ever hosted.Five stars are not enough for Love and Garlic!

We had some credit on account with Nancy at Love & Garlic due to a Covid event cancellation. So we decided to use her for our Thanksgiving meal. We had 20 ppl including kids and ordered 3 of her Thanksgiving meal set which each included a 10 lbs Turkey, stuffing, mash potatoes, gravy & cranberry citrus sauce. We additionally ordered green beans, mac & cheese and a sliced sweet potato gratin type dish. First of all, everything was DELICIOUS! Like really delicious. In the past, I was always in charge of the turkey & took great pride in it. This turkey was the best I've ever had anywhere. Moist, flavorful, perfectly cooked. Everything comes cold the night before but with excellent reheating directions. We also got a grazing charcuterie board which was as beautiful to look at as it was delicious. We're ordering Thanksgiving from her from now on. Fabulous!

We had Nancy and her team prepare and serve dinner for us at home for our 50th anniversary. Very professional, easy to get along with and our meals were outstanding. We would definitely use her again! Thanks so much for such a special time!
