Picture your colleagues savoring homemade pasta crafted by chefs from Italy’s Abruzzo region, or your clients impressed by our signature grilled calamari and fresh seafood dishes.

Since 2004, we’ve been Cambridge’s go-to destination for authentic Italian cuisine that goes beyond the typical lasagna and chicken parm. Founded by Anna Mountzuris, our award-winning restaurant specializes in the unique flavors of Italy’s Abruzzo region—a coastal cuisine rich with fresh seafood and rare truffle mushrooms.
What sets us apart in Cambridge’s competitive catering landscape isn’t just our 4.5-star reputation or our made-to-order approach. It’s our commitment to authenticity, hiring chefs directly from Abruzzo to ensure every dish captures the true essence of Italian coastal cooking.
Whether you’re planning a corporate lunch in Harvard Square or a private celebration in your Cambridge home, we bring the same level of excellence that has kept our Newton Centre restaurant thriving for two decades.
Getting authentic Italian catering for your Cambridge event is straightforward. Start by contacting our catering team to discuss your event details—guest count, dietary needs, and preferred menu style. We’ll work with you to create a custom menu that fits your vision and budget.
Our chefs prepare everything fresh using organic meats, vegetables, and house-made pasta. From intimate gatherings of 10 to corporate events for 50 or more, we scale our preparation to ensure every dish maintains the quality that earned us our award-winning reputation.
On event day, our professional team handles delivery and setup, bringing not just food but the complete Italian dining experience to your Cambridge location. We coordinate timing perfectly so your guests enjoy everything at optimal temperature and presentation—leaving you free to focus on what matters most.

Our catering services go beyond just delivering food—we create complete Italian dining experiences tailored to Cambridge’s diverse event needs. From Harvard University functions to biotech company celebrations, we understand how to adapt our authentic Abruzzese cuisine to different occasions and venues.
Your catering package includes our signature dishes like pappardelle al tartufo, fresh seafood risotto, and our famous grilled calamari, all prepared with the same attention to detail as our restaurant service. We accommodate dietary restrictions without compromising flavor, offering gluten-free pasta options and vegetarian dishes that showcase the best of Mediterranean cuisine.
Cambridge’s fast-paced business environment demands reliable service, and our 20-year track record speaks to our ability to deliver on time, every time. Whether you need elegant plated service for a client dinner or family-style trays for a casual office gathering, we bring the warmth of Italian hospitality to your Cambridge event.
We provide Italian catering services throughout Cambridge, including Harvard Square, Porter Square, Kendall Square, and surrounding areas like Somerville and Arlington. Our delivery radius extends to most locations within 30 minutes of our Newton Centre restaurant.
Since we’re located just minutes from Cambridge, we can accommodate both planned events and shorter-notice requests. We regularly cater to Harvard University, MIT, and the many biotech companies throughout the Cambridge corridor, so we’re familiar with the unique logistics and timing requirements of different venues in the area.
For best availability and menu customization, we recommend placing catering orders at least one week in advance. However, we understand that business needs can change quickly, especially in Cambridge’s dynamic corporate environment.
We often accommodate shorter-notice requests, sometimes with as little as 48 hours’ notice, depending on the size of your event and menu complexity. Our made-to-order approach means we’re preparing fresh ingredients daily, so we have more flexibility than caterers who rely on pre-made items. For large corporate events or special occasions, earlier booking ensures you get your preferred date and allows time for menu customization to meet specific dietary needs.
Absolutely. We work with clients to create inclusive menus that accommodate gluten-free, vegetarian, and other dietary needs without sacrificing the authentic Italian flavors we’re known for. Our chefs are experienced in adapting traditional Abruzzese recipes to meet various restrictions.
We offer gluten-free pasta options, dairy-free preparations, and can modify most of our signature dishes to accommodate specific needs. When you place your order, just let us know about any dietary requirements, and we’ll suggest menu modifications or alternatives. Our goal is ensuring every guest at your Cambridge event can enjoy an exceptional Italian dining experience, regardless of their dietary preferences.
Our catering delivery includes professional setup of food stations, serving utensils, plates, napkins, and everything needed for your guests to enjoy their meal. We coordinate delivery timing to ensure food arrives at optimal temperature and presentation quality.
For larger events, we can provide chafing dishes to keep hot items warm throughout your gathering. Our team handles the setup process efficiently, so your Cambridge office or venue is ready when guests arrive. We also offer optional service staff for events requiring more hands-on assistance, and we’re happy to coordinate with your venue’s specific requirements or restrictions.

Whether you’re hosting colleagues or family, we adapt our service style and menu presentation to match the occasion’s tone and formality level.
Our authenticity sets us apart in Cambridge’s catering market.

Unlike generic Italian catering that relies on basic pasta dishes, we offer signature items like our grilled calamari, house-made pappardelle al tartufo, and fresh seafood risotto.
