"Our residents enjoyed the food served by Havana 1957, everyone was happy with their order. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive and our residents shared that they would love to order from Havan 1957 again, whether it be at our community or if they seem Havana 1957 somewhere else."

"Aneesh and the team from Cascadia were awesome to work with. They even provided us with flyers to post around our community, which was a nice touch. They offered plenty of pizza options to choose from, including gluten-free options, and our residents loved having the pizza truck come out. Thank you!"

"Great food, amazing hospitality, and everything in between. The one-star deduction isn’t because one of the two food trucks arrived slightly late, but because communication with the administrative office was very difficult, especially as the event date approached."
