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.
Italian catering runs about $15–$131 per guest, all-in, and the price per guest falls as the guest count rises. Here is what a spread costs at the counts people usually ask about.
| Guests | Estimated cost | Per guest |
|---|---|---|
| 25 | $400 – $2,675 | $16 – $107 |
| 50 | $750 – $6,550 | $15 – $131 |
| 100 | $1,500 – $12,300 | $15 – $123 |
| 150 | $2,250 – $18,000 | $15 – $120 |
All-in: the food plus the staff, delivery and setup the service style needs. Tastings, rentals, add-on services and California sales tax are the only additions, and there is no service charge. The crew, setup and delivery are shared across the room, so the price per guest falls as the count rises. 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.
