You know that moment when everyone stops mid-conversation because the food is just that good? That’s what happens when you choose authentic Italian catering that goes beyond the typical corporate lunch spread.
Your event becomes the one people remember. Not because of flashy decorations or expensive venues, but because every bite transports them straight to the Italian coast. From our signature truffle-infused dishes to handmade pasta that melts in your mouth, we create experiences that stick with people long after the last plate is cleared.
Whether you’re hosting 15 executives or celebrating with 50 family members, you get food that actually lives up to the occasion. No bland, one-size-fits-all catering. Just authentic Abruzzese cuisine that makes your event feel special because it is special.
Since 2004, we’ve been serving authentic Italian cuisine that honors the traditions of the Abruzzo region. Founded by Anna Mountzuris, our award-winning restaurant brings the warmth and flavors of coastal Italy to New England.
We’re not your typical catering company throwing together generic Italian-American dishes. Our chefs trained in Abruzzo create each menu using traditional techniques and the finest ingredients. We’ve built our reputation one event at a time, earning trust through consistently exceptional food and service.
Lowell’s business community and families have come to rely on us for their most important occasions. When you need catering that reflects the significance of your event, you need a team that understands the difference between serving food and creating an experience.
We start with a conversation about your event. Not a sales pitch, but a real discussion about what you’re trying to accomplish, who you’re serving, and what would make this occasion truly memorable for your guests.
Next, we design a custom menu that fits your event perfectly. Whether you need dietary accommodations, want to highlight seasonal ingredients, or have specific cultural preferences, we create something tailored specifically for you. No cookie-cutter packages here.
On event day, our experienced team handles every detail. From setup to service to cleanup, you can focus on your guests while we make sure the food exceeds expectations. We coordinate timing so everything arrives fresh and at the perfect temperature, exactly when you need it.

Every catering order includes our signature made-to-order approach. We don’t pre-make dishes and reheat them. Everything is prepared fresh using natural ingredients, from our handmade pasta to our carefully seasoned proteins.
You get access to our full range of Abruzzese specialties, including dishes featuring the rare truffle mushrooms that give our restaurant its name. Our extensive gluten-free options and strict allergy protocols mean every guest can enjoy the meal safely.
Lowell businesses particularly appreciate our corporate catering packages, which include professional presentation, proper serving equipment, and coordination with your event timeline. For private celebrations, we offer family-style service that encourages conversation and connection, just like a traditional Italian gathering.
We recommend booking at least two weeks in advance for most events, though we can often accommodate shorter notice depending on our schedule and your event size. Larger corporate events or wedding receptions typically need three to four weeks advance notice to ensure we can dedicate the proper attention to menu planning and preparation.
The more complex your menu or the larger your guest count, the more lead time helps us deliver our best work. We use this time for detailed planning, sourcing the freshest ingredients, and coordinating with your venue if needed. Rush orders are possible, but advance booking ensures you get exactly what you want without compromise.
Our cuisine comes from the Abruzzo region of Italy, which most people haven’t experienced before. This coastal area specializes in seafood and truffle-based dishes that you won’t find at typical Italian-American restaurants. We actually import ingredients and hire chefs from this region to maintain authenticity.
We’ve been perfecting these recipes for nearly 20 years, not just throwing together generic pasta dishes. Every sauce is made from scratch, every piece of pasta is handmade, and we use traditional cooking techniques that take time but create incredible depth of flavor. When your guests taste the difference, they’ll understand why we’ve built such a strong reputation in the area.
Absolutely. We maintain strict allergy protocols and can modify almost any dish to meet specific dietary needs. Our extensive gluten-free menu options taste just as good as our traditional dishes because we’ve spent years perfecting these recipes, not just removing ingredients.
We regularly cater to guests with celiac disease, dairy intolerance, vegetarian preferences, and other dietary requirements. The key is communicating these needs when you book so we can plan accordingly. We’ll walk through each dish with you to ensure everyone at your event can enjoy the meal safely and deliciously.
Our corporate packages include menu planning, professional food presentation, all necessary serving equipment, setup and breakdown service, and coordination with your event timeline. We handle everything so you can focus on your meeting or presentation.
You get real plates and proper serving utensils, not disposable items that make your event feel cheap. We coordinate delivery timing so food arrives at optimal temperature right when you need it. For recurring corporate clients, we keep notes on preferences and dietary needs to make future ordering even easier. Many Lowell businesses use us regularly because we make their events run smoothly.
Everything is prepared to order on the day of your event, not reheated from previous batches. We use insulated transport containers and careful timing to ensure dishes arrive at the proper serving temperature. Our pasta dishes, for example, are cooked to just under perfect doneness, then finished at your location.
We’ve developed specific techniques over 20 years for maintaining the integrity of each dish during transport. Sauces travel separately when needed, delicate items get special handling, and we coordinate arrival times so nothing sits around getting cold or overcooked. This attention to detail is why our catered food tastes just as good as what we serve in our dining room.
We cater events from intimate gatherings of 10 people up to large corporate functions and celebrations of 200+ guests. Our private dining room can accommodate up to 45 people for seated service or 55 for cocktail-style events, and we regularly handle larger off-site catering orders.
The key is matching our service level to your event size. Smaller groups get more personalized attention and can access our full menu range. Larger events require more advance planning but benefit from our experience managing complex logistics. We’ve successfully catered everything from small business lunches to major wedding receptions throughout the Lowell area.
