About Us

The Testa Catering Family has a combination of over 75 years of experience in the restaurant and catering industries. Testa Catering has become the largest caterer in Northern Santa Barbara County and services clients from the Napa Valley to the border of Mexico, to Arizona and everywhere in between.

Testa Catering started in 1983, specializing in the World Famous Santa Maria Style BBQ. Testa?s BBQ Team has mastered the craft of Red Oak Fired BBQ while the chefs in the kitchen have created menus with international influences and flavors. Our food begins with the best, freshest, local products available. Our approach begins with your vision. Our attention to every detail will leave you assured that your event will be a success.

From small, intimate, five-star dining to large parties of 2000 or more, we would love to cater for you. From your home or venue to the beautiful ranches and wineries of the Central Coast, the Testa Team is ready to make your event a memorable one.

Martin and Debi Testa have reinvested in the company numerous times to provide state-of-the-art equipment and mobile kitchens. The Testa team features an extensive and experienced staff to handle multiple events per day without compromising on service, quality or attention to detail.
The Testa Family also owns and operates Testa's Bistro, a unique private event restaurant that accommodates up to 55 guests.
