We had Nino and Miriam for our wedding and they were amazing! They were very accomodating with dietary requirements and our changing guest list. Nino and Miriam invited us to another event they were doing so that we could sample some pizzas and meet them, a very beneficial experience.
On the day, they adjusted to our reception and a few things running over time. Not to mention our guests absolutely LOVED the pizzas.
We were very pleased with Nino and Miriam and could not recommend them highly enough!

Outstanding mobile pizza catering! Highly recommended. We loved the setup and your organisation on the day- not to mention the pizzas themselves. I really enjoyed the Neapolitan style pizza base with all the toppings. They were certainly a hit with the crowd. Thank you to Nino and Miriam for an exceptional 30+1 event! Hope you liked the espresso martinis ;)

We booked Il Padrino over a year ago for our wedding last weekend. Miriam and Nino were excellent all the way through, even finding a way to sneak us some sample pizza and appetisers (which were delicious!) Due to Covid we changed venues and dates several times, but they were always willing to find a way to make things work for our special day. 3 days before the wedding when the restrictions didn’t go the way we hoped, they were the first people on the phone offering solutions and help. We really felt like they were there for us and wanted our wedding to go ahead as much as we did! In the end

They catered our wedding and it was the best!!
So happy we found these guys. The pizza was incredible, our guest couldn’t stop raving about it, and the grazing table to boot with lots of goodies. Most of it was gone before my husband and I got to it! A testament to how good it was.

Miriam and Il Padrino went truly above and beyond to create a stunning Grazing Box in record time and delivery. She was friendly, helpful and provided excellent customer service, and the box itself was a work of art; full of fresh, delicious produce that looked and tasted divine. Great value for money, high quality products and wonderful customer service. Highly recommend and will definitely be ordering again. Thank you Miriam! xx

Il Padrino catered for my 40th birthday. The wood fired pizzas were exceptionally good. They have a great selection to choose from with good quality ingredients and we were extremely happy with our selection. They also catered to our needs and provided a great service. I would definitely recommend them to anyone for any event and will use their services again.

Il Padrino are nothing short of incredible.
We hired Miriam, Nino and their team to cater for our wedding in the Yarra Valley and we have received so many comments about how amazing their pizza, arancini balls and calamari were. We were invited to try everything before the wedding and we were blown away by the quality and flavour of the pizza and canapes – so authentic and just like the best Italian restaurants.
Miriam and Nino were so responsive throughout the whole process and gave us so much honest advice in terms of portions sizes, which we definitely needed as they were the only caterers

We knew from the minute that we started planning our wedding that we wanted to use Il Padrino woodfire pizza. We have been eating their pizza for years at various festivals and some private functions and we have NEVER been disappointed. Words can't describe how happy we were, and more importantly, our guests were with their service and the quality of the food served. We also had a few guests at the wedding who had food intolerance's, including our Photographer, who was gluten and lactose intolerant. Il Padrino arranged special pizza bases and ensured those with intolerance's were well looked after
