Peninsula Social Club Foundation Crab Cioppino Dinner

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Peninsula Italian Social Club for the support and enthusiasm for the first annual Peninsula Social Club Foundation Crab Cioppino dinner fundraiser. Tony Vitrano not only suggested the Crab Cioppino dinner in the first place, but oversaw many details to make sure the evening went off without a hitch. Chef Matteo was committed to making this event the best ever, the dinner was outstanding. We have had many people asking if we will be doing it again next year and I am very happy to say that we have already scheduled another dinner for next year on January 26, 2020.

Perfect Wedding

I couldn’t be happier with PIASC, I had no stress planning my wedding because everything was included in my package, from cake, flowers, photographer, videographer, food, servers etc. Working with Tony was great and such a big help. I had so many compliments about how beautiful my wedding was, especially the lamb lollipops that I didn’t get to try but everyone loved! The service was great! I would recommend a million times and plan of using them for other events! Don’t let the outside fool you because inside is just beautiful and elegant.
