Sirico’s Caterers

Went to my first ever event at Sirico’s yesterday for a Christening. I’ve passed this place like a gazillion times. I’ve heard so/​so things about the food/​décor, etc. But I have to tell you, I had a great experience. Is it the most modern catering hall I’ve ever been to? No. However… one of the most important things at any catering hall is the food. I’ve been to some really big/​beautiful halls and the food was not that great. Sirico’s food was DELICIOUS. I thought all the food was really good – passing hors d’oeuvres and the Buffett were delicious — everything. I thought the room we were in was pretty too — lots of great light coming through. After reading some of the reviews, I was a bit leary, but I definitely would have an event here. The staff was attentive and friendly also. Overall a great place!

We celebrated my dad’s 60^th birthday party here and the décor, service and food were exquisite. The owner Jimmy and his son made sure everything was running smooth. All my guests kept telling me how nice the hall was. They also loved the food! The open bar had top shelf liquid unlike these other places that give you cheap liquor. My guest all had a great time and we will definitely be booking our next event there !

Although the service was good, the entertainers (dj, m.c.) were awesome, and the food was delish. I had the salmon (salmon in Italian), which was well cooked. The waiters were attentive, and ready to assist you if you needed anything. The atmosphere was wonderful and although I was there for my GF and her family, I had a wholesome good time. Sirico’s only con, is the entrance area. It resembles a funeral parlor. But overall a good place if you ask me.

The food is good but this place is dated and in dire need of a refresh. My wife & I were there for a valentine dinner and the whole place had no heat, it was bitterly cold weather that night to boot. I can’t and won’t recommend this place to anyone.

Jim Sirico Sr, and Jim Jr have heard the masses loud and clear — give the people what they want — good food and a great place to have a reception — and so it was done! Both of these gentlemen were more than accommodating and gave us a lot to think about when sizing up the other possibilities for a wedding venue.
This place has definitely gotten renovations underway within very recently, and it’s made a huge difference in the overall feel of wanting that wedding hall you’ve been looking for. Yes, the outside is still the same, but you’re not having your venue outside are you?
My fiancé and I came here for a tasting, and we were amazed at not only the prices, but what you actually get to choose from! We tried fried rice balls, penne ala vodka, NY strip steak, salmon orgenetta, and much, much more! Everything was tasteful, beautifully presented, and cooked to order. Our families and friends are big on food, and we knew that we weren’t going to get this selection any where else.
The room we chose was when you first walk in, to your immediate right, is what I like to call the «sunroof room» which has these amazingly high skylights that flooded the room with sunshine. Mirrors are all around the room, helping to give it depth, and the dance floor was wood flooring, which around it was an ornate carpet. The daïs table was the focal point, and we were assured we can arrange the tables at a diagonal to fill the room up more since we would have about 80 – 90 guests only.
The food selection:
— 18 choices for cocktail hour including carving stations! (I’m talking bakes clams, pasta, cheese boards, quiche, even sushi (at an extra cost))
— 5 entrees to choose from (fish, chicken, beef, pork loin, and vegetarian)
— cookies and pastries on each table
— wedding cake from Aunt Butchie’s
— Premium liquor (‘cuz that’s what everyone wants on the side of their dinner)
Deposits can be made in cash, check, or any major credit card.

You will need to take a good look through my pictures, and I’m sure you’ll see that you can have a party from any size, and know you will be accommodated. Stop by at any time, and see what each of their rooms look like set up! My father-​in-​law got to see our room that we picked decorated for a baby shower and it was not only adorable, but gave a great sense of how to use the space.

Overall… its a good place for a party. The food is good… if you get a good menu. if you stick with the basics… you will get basic food. The filet mignon… veal chop… rack of lamb… prime rib… are all really good. If you get chicken francese… veal marsala… and baked salmon… don’t expect to be blown away. You get what you pay for. I would recommend siricos for showers, engagement parties, birthdays… and weddings if you are looking for an affordable place.

Being that they are in my neighborhood and they already have the shitty ratings and reviews, I’m just going to say what this place needs the most: Rennovations!!!
Then after making that point perfectly clear, lets up the anti with the wait staff, and hire some professionals and dress them nicer. Get nicer furniture, chairs, tables, and dinnerware. That will make the place feel more important.
Carefully edit the menu, because certain things were very tasty Italian staples, and some things could be dropped.
Last of all, instead of that cheap, generic soda, try to show some class and use quality products. If you blatently use crap out in the open, what do you expect people to think goes on in the kitchen?
I think you can do better Siricos, show Dyker Heights some respect!

I have never been to Sirico’s before… needless to say, I will never go back! The place looks nice from the outside, but as we sat for dinner my opinion changed. The waiters try hard, but the inexperience is very obvious! Some of their uniforms were too big and others were stained and filthy. As our waiter served the pasta, he stood right over me and didn’t notice that he was dripping pasta sauce on my pants. I didn’t want to make a big deal, so I just kept quiet. As I picked up the silverware to eat my pasta, I noticed that the fork was old, greasy, and deformed as well as my knife. I had to clean them thoroughly with my napkin. I ordered the steak medium rare, but when it was served it wasn’t to my liking. For desert cake was served. As it was brought out the waiters carried them one plate on top of each other. As they placed the plate on the table they didn’t notice that the bottom of most plates were covered with cake frosting. There was cake frosting all over the tablecloth. I feel that if more attention is placed to the details most of these deficiencies can be corrected!

Attended a event last night. Food was good (not great) service was above average.

I have been to Sirico’s over the years many times. The food was always great but the last few years the food is not good anymore! I was very disappointed in the food and the quality. I think its time for an intervention.
