I wish I can leave a 10 star here! I've been to Aleo catering events before in the past, and yes they were always great, but yesterday was the first ive used at my own event, and i have to say that I have been absolutely blown away by this one! I had approximately 30 guests at my backyard event, at almost 100°F outside and I did the BBQ package. Aside from the food being nothing but delicious, but the man behind the grill, Keith, made the party! He was so helpful in every single way possible, he made a killer bbq set up, and asked each guest if they wanted anything cut open specially or cooked something a certian way! Just incredible interaction with my guests....He helped clean off the tables, he helped me and my husband carry bags of ice in the beginning of the party. Those are just a few of things, ALL of my guests were very happy with Keith and if course the food! If you are reading this review to see whether or not Aleo catering packages is an option for your event!...... 10000% it is the right choice you will NOT be sorry. And if you happen to get Keith as your BBQ master lol you will be very very lucky!!!!! Thank you so much Aleo and Keith for knocking my backyard party yesterday off the charts! Myself, my husband and all guests were very happy ! Looking forward to having you host again!

From Catering events to lunch and dinner, Aleo has something to satisfy any Italian (or American cuisine) craving. Friendly staff, family owned and operated, great place in the Lincroft area. You will not be disappointed.

I went there for pick-up lunches and quick things and the food was amazing. I tried to use them for catering, but it was impossible to connect. I emailed requesting a catering menu with prices twice, and received emails without the menu attached or included. When I had a chance to call, I was placed on hold which I don’t have time for. Too bad because their food is excellent. Would you please post your catering menu with prices on your website to make it easier? I’m not sure what else could’ve been done on my part to make the transaction smoother. Catering is supposed to make things simpler for people.

Second time using BBQ Catering package. The stars are for the cook who came and prepared everything, he’s was great!! Food just ok, sub par. Apps we ordered were not good (Brie cup and fried ravioli) but my main complaint is the complete lack of customer service. Had to call 3 times re not wanting to be charged 3.6% fee if using CC and wanted to switch to debit. No call back so had to go in person. Was told 2x manger would call and nope. Went there in person and finally a nice lady called me. Manager was also suppose to call again re an up charge and of course nothing. I’ll order else where next time

I order half trays of food every week because I do not have time to cook. Everything I have ordered has been great. The food has been fresh, delicious and generous portions. This was not my first choice because it is a little out of the way for me, but definitely worth the trip. They have earned my loyal business.

Pouring rain out this afternoon so I decided to stop in at Aleo and pick up a few things. Must say nice guys behind the meat counter.
So I did see the sign at the door about bringing your own bag. Raining pretty hard, wasn’t going back to car. After spending $64 on food and paying by card, I didn’t remember about the bag. When I asked for a bag for the 5-6 items I purchased, the girl behind the register tells me that would be .50 cents. She wanted to run my card again for .50 cents, Really! She proceeded to tell me they have to follow procedures. I was speechless.
Still pouring outside, I grabbed my stuff and walked out. Gotta love the customer service. I’ve been there many times, but I will not be returning. Many other good places in the neighborhood happy to satisfy a customer.

The sandwiches are delicious! The staff is quick to take your order. Even the cashiers are very friendly. I'm sure I will like some of the other food items they have (when I get around to trying them). Who doesn't ❤️ good food and friendly service?

Should be no stars. My mother just spoke to a woman named Paula on the phone in an attempt to order an antipasto platter. She was told that they're busy and she doesn't have time to talk and tried to rush her through the order. My mother has a brain injury and Paula was being very rude to her. After my mother QUICKLY decided to order a $60 antipasto platter, the woman told her she would need to pay with a credit card number. My mother had to get up and go get the number. Apparently she wasn't moving quickly enough for Paula. I could hear the entire conversation on the phone. Paula was speaking to someone in the store and said that my mother was rude for putting her on hold. My mother had nicely asked if she could hold on while she gets the number. My mother started to get annoyed and said, "I didn't put you on hold." As my mother got the credit card number, the woman said "I'm sitting here waiting." The woman was very rude and abrupt. She didn't have customer service skills and upset my mother quite a bit. This business may have great food and reviews, but this experience made them lose one customer. What a shame.
