I have been to this venue a few times for work events, and it's usually ok. Tonight, unfortunately was different. My dairy free accommodations were unacceptable. I left hungry even after letting 2 staff know my food was not ok.
1st course- pasta and red sauce, but I was told the sauce has butter-?, so instead I was given a plain bowl of pasta that was straight out of the strainer- no oil, salt or anything, just dry penne. The salad was ok- over dressed early and now soggy, but still better then the dry pasta, if that says much. For dinner, I kept it easy and ordered the steak- no butter. I was given an overcooked, chewy slab that my knife had trouble cutting. While my friend next to me was given a perfectly cooked med-rare cut that was pink and juicy.
When I let the waiter know I couldn't eat the overcooked steak I was given, I was told- "yours is special, no sauce so that's how it is"- as he walked away. Hungry and disappointed, I asked to speak with someone who could help. Although kind, he only offered me an apology, but no food.
I paid a good amount to attend my coworkers retirment here on a Monday night, but I left without having eaten, and hungry- very disappointing!
If you are having an event here, please ask the staff to do better for your guests with food allergies then they did for me.

We chose Macaluso's for our son's 1st Birthday. The event was amazing, as were the food and the staff. The process of booking the party was easy and the management was very helpful. Throughout the planning period, they were always there to answer questions and assist. Our guests raved about the food during and after the party. Most guests said, "I wish I ate more!" They were also very accommodating for all of the vendors, including the DJ, Backdrop, and soft play area. I highly would recommend Macaluso's for any of your special event and catering needs. They truly provide great food with an elegant and easy experience.
