History
Apropo Catering was founded in 1989 on the principle that satisfied clients and guests should be all companies' first priorities. For more than 20 years, we've been putting that principle into action, now in partnership with Romo Catering & Special Events, affiliated with Pasta di Casa, Inc, and Dreamers Gourmet.
Our years of experience in the food service industry have only made us more steadfast in our commitment to high-quality service and food. We focus on meeting our customers' needs and exceeding their expectations, which has been the key to our years of success. We are dedicated to continuing that tradition.
