Vendor Spotlight: Floridino's
Italian Comfort, Local Legacy, and Catering Made for Weddings
September 11, 2025
When planning a wedding, food is one of the most important pieces of the puzzle - it sets the mood, fuels the celebration, and leaves guests with lasting memories. Located in Chandler, Floridino’s has become a trusted favorite for weddings, rehearsal dinners, and special events thanks to its mix of approachable Italian cuisine, flexible service options, and decades of experience.
A Family-Rooted Beginning
Floridino’s opened its doors nearly three decades ago with a simple mission: to serve hearty Italian dishes made with care. Over the years, it has become more than a neighborhood favorite, it has evolved into a full-service catering company and event partner. Couples who choose Floridino’s aren’t just getting a menu, they’re tapping into years of hospitality expertise and a team that understands the meaning of celebration.
Catering That Fits Your Wedding
For weddings, Floridino’s offers far more than standard catering. Couples can select from several service levels, ranging from casual drop-off options to full-service catering with beautiful buffet displays, stainless steel chafing dishes, decorative greenery, and attentive staff who handle both setup and breakdown. For those who want something in between, the “Service Express” package provides a polished buffet without full staffing, striking a balance between elegance and efficiency.
The menu is a celebration of Italian classics - baked ziti, lasagna, cheese tortellini, chicken parmesan, and more - crafted to please a wide range of palates. Floridino’s also takes dietary needs seriously, offering vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free options. Couples are invited to schedule complimentary tastings, an opportunity to savor the food firsthand while fine-tuning the menu for their big day.
A Venue Option for Smaller Gatherings
In addition to catering, Floridino’s offers a private banquet room. With space for 15 to 60 guests, it’s a convenient choice for rehearsal dinners, bridal showers, or intimate wedding receptions. The room includes a 75-inch screen and AV setup, making it easy to personalize the event with slideshows, video messages, or other touches. Having both catering and a venue option under one roof gives couples flexibility and simplifies planning.
Why Couples Choose Floridino’s
What makes Floridino’s stand out is the balance of quality and ease. They’ve been serving the community for nearly 30 years, which means couples can count on consistency and reliability. At the same time, their packages are designed to be flexible, whether you’re planning a casual backyard reception, a formal banquet, or something in between.
And then there are the Pizza Muffins ... Floridino’s signature dish that has earned something of a cult following in the East Valley. Available in classic styles like Original, Pepperoni, and Cheese, as well as more creative variations such as BBQ Chicken, Spicy Buffalo, or seasonal flavors, these handheld bites are a hit at weddings and events. Couples love them because they’re playful, shareable, and unforgettable - an easy way to add something fun and distinctly Floridino’s to the menu.
