At catering scale
Catering Italian, honestly
Italian is the menu that makes caterers honest — everyone offers it, so the difference is in the scratch work. Ours is built on house-made sauces and proper technique: lasagna layered to order, chicken parmesan crisped before the sauce, spaghetti bolognese simmered on beef we source halal · zabiha, alfredo finished with real cream, and antipasto and bruschetta boards that open the table the Italian way. Pizza arrives as shareable platters, and the dolci — tiramisu, cannoli, panna cotta — close it properly.
Pasta is the great equalizer of event food: it holds, it comforts, and it feeds a hundred as gracefully as ten. Offices book this menu for milestone lunches, families for christenings and graduations, and it pairs naturally with our Mediterranean mezze for a broader spread. Vegetarian mains are first-class here rather than afterthoughts, and every dish is labeled — including the gluten-free paths — so the whole table is readable at a glance.

| Guests | Estimated food cost | Per guest |
|---|---|---|
| 25 | $425 – $2,525 | $17 – $101 |
| 50 | $850 – $5,050 | $17 – $101 |
| 100 | $1,700 – $10,100 | $17 – $101 |
| 150 | $2,550 – $15,150 | $17 – $101 |
Food only. Staffing, rentals, delivery, setup and breakdown are separate lines, and a mandatory service charge and California sales tax apply on top — so the invoice for a staffed event runs meaningfully above the food figure. Smaller counts sit at the top of the band: setup and delivery cost the same at 25 guests as at 100. Every menu halal · zabiha-sourced.

Questions
Italian catering, answered honestly
What does Italian catering cost per tray in Los Angeles?
Pasta trays and mains run $45–$160 — lasagna and chicken parmesan trays serve eight to twelve at $110–$130, antipasto platters open the table around $90, and individual pasta boxes start at $18.
Is your Italian food halal — what about the bolognese?
Yes — the bolognese simmers on zabiha-sourced beef, every meat on the menu is zabiha by default, and nothing is deglazed with wine; sauces are built on stock and tomato. Vegetarian mains here are first-class, not afterthoughts, and every dish is labeled.
Does pasta hold for buffet service and delivery?
Better than almost anything — lasagna and baked pastas are engineered to hold, which is why Italian is a workhorse for corporate lunches and family milestones. We deliver in sterno-ready trays or staff the buffet; plated dinner service is available for weddings.
Which Italian dishes work best for a mixed crowd?
Chicken parmesan and penne alfredo please every table; the antipasto board covers grazers and vegetarians; and tiramisu closes the meal properly. For gluten-free guests, the grilled mains and salads carry the menu — all labeled above.
