Compliments to the chef! I ordered catering through Rita's for my birthday dinner. It was very last minute but they were able to make it happen! Fiona, though very busy (holiday season) was so supportive throughout the process. The food was AMAZING!! Everything was tasty - no salt or pepper needed - absolutely flavorful. The apps were great - tequila lime chicken skewers, beef skewers, crab cakes, shrimp and charred corn, citrus scallops - all delectable! For the main dish, they recreated this sea bass dish with bouillabaisse, clams, and potatoes! Again, super tasty!! Would recommend them for any small or large gathering - true professionals!!

Our department has ordered from Rita's for the last year. Their menu is massive - all sorts of things you can ever need and more. So many sandwiches to choose from. So many salads. Great entrees. Their pastries are beautiful ! Sandwiches come in a box and are labeled , so there is no confusion. They have always been reliable. Fiona and her team are lovely to work with. The deliveries have always been a great experience. Only thing I will note is they often come EARLY so maybe be prepared for that ? I don't use that against them since they come to Boston from Everette. They have lots of deliveries so they have to be precise when it comes to timing and I know that can be difficult. Better early than late :) Their food is worth the price. Happy to work with Rita's and will continue to feed my hungry department with their yummy food.

They catered our fiscal year end and the food was Delicious and well presented, a feast for the eyes, taste buds and stomach. Thank you.

Wish I could give Rita's more than 5 stars! During the COVID-19 pandemic we were faced with many plan changes to our wedding and with 35 days to plan our modified micro wedding I found Rita's online and without a tasting or anything we decided to go with them for our intimate, 12 person wedding. The food was beyond phenomenal, the service was impeccable, before during and after the event. They coordinated a number of rental vendors for us making our wedding planning far easier than it could've been. In a very stressful time we were able to lean on Rita's and our day would not have been as amazing without them in our corner. I would recommend them to any and everyone. Thank you for everything and for making our wedding so perfect and stress free!

Ritas Catering "SUCKS". Work in an office complex in Waltham and the food is horrible, extremely expensive and the staff just doesnt care. There was talk in the building that on at least one occasion someone found insect(s) in the salad I didnt see it personally so cant confirm but not something I questioned. The building management has done nothing to get rid of them and the lousy food and high prices are the reasons why I brown bag it or order out. In fact the lack of access to decent breakfast and lunch options is one of the reasons why I am searching for a new job. If you cant get a decent meal while at work it makes for a long and pretty crappy (literally) workday in my opinion. Steer clear from Ritas Catering unless you get enjoyment out of regretting your food choices. Ritas Catering, where they empty your wallet of cash and fill your belly with gas. But of course this is my opinion your experience may differ.

Never used you guys but your delivery truck, plate T67 655 cut me off and almost hit me like a D-bag. So I'm leaving this based off of that customer service.

Our company used Rita's Catering for lunch and it was ok. I had a chicken wrap, but nothing really stood out for me. Good solid food. Gets the work done when you're onsite, trying to get the work done. Good cookies.

Catering is the only business where the vendor supplies you with much less than they agreed to, but charge you anyway. My nonprofit has an event once a year for donors and supporters. We ordered about six things on the menu, confirmed the order, talked to them that day, etc. They failed to deliver half of the items, leaving us only with some dips and appetizers - none of the heavier hors d'ouerves we had promised our guests. After a nightmare trying to get someone to respond to us (over 30 minutes between phone calls), the hot items were delivered two and half hours late, just as the event was wrapping up. No phone call the next morning - nothing. After my call they eventually agreed to take the undelivered items off the invoice, with a very small (10%) discount on the stuff we got. So, what we thought we had bought was a nice meal. What we ended up with was some chips, bread and dips. I will never call them again, that's for sure. The lack of communication was actually more infuriating than the bad service. Awful.

Our company uses Rita's very frequently and they are on time consistent and food is pretty good! Desserts are pretty good as well, love the lemon poppy seed cookies! Also like the chips they use, better quality than your average lays chips.
Our company uses Rita's as a caterer and the food is fantastic. Recently used them for a cake and it was perfect! The whole party raved about it. Everyone at Rita's is pleasant and helpful (even when i placed my order pretty late!). I highly recommend

I find no problems with the staff here. They are always cheery and helpful. I do think there could be some efficiency improvements and the wait times are a little long and a bit pricey for cafeteria food. But otherwise food is generally decent and selection is variably good to very good.

I would never chose this caterer based on the quality of service & food provided in the cafes in various office buildings around MA. Our location is 1100 Winter St, Waltham. Food is low quality & highly priced. It seems like every single employee they hire DOES NOT want to be there. It's an inconvenience to them to "serve" us. The woman at the check out line is hit or miss - she's either overly nice or looks like she wants you to rot just for going through her line. The woman that works the deli is particularly bad. Example: "Can I just have the special but can you add pickles?" her response "Well than that's not the special" and proceeds on with attitude, and that's an everyday attitude. I wish our whole office building would ban together in protest because losing money is the only way they would improve.

The location at 1100 Winter St. Waltham is bad the. The new lady who prepare the food doesn't care if the tuna is mixed with pork or the veg falls in to the meat container. She just picks it up and put it back on the other container. Some times the bacon falls in the veg she don't care. I'm a vegetarian and she will never change her glows. I think subway does a good job. They over fill the wraps that doesn't taste good at all. The new lady who works on the left when you walk in. Not the grill side.

Framingham location - No one smiles. No one is friendly, I feel like it's an inconvenience for them to do their job. Stopped going there eventhough it is simple to just do down one flight. Started going to wegmans and other places around.
