Every dish tells the story of Italy’s coastal region, from our signature veal chop stuffed with prosciutto and fontina to our handmade pasta that would make an Italian grandmother proud. Your event becomes the one everyone wishes they could recreate.
The relief you’ll feel when everything runs perfectly—from our stress-free planning process to the last bite of dessert—lets you actually enjoy your own celebration instead of worrying about whether the food will live up to expectations.
Since 2004, we’ve earned our reputation as an award-winning Italian restaurant by staying true to authentic Abruzzese traditions. Founded by Anna Mountzuris, we’ve built our catering services around one simple principle: use the finest organic ingredients and prepare everything the way it’s meant to be made.
We often bring in chefs directly from the Abruzzo region of Italy because authenticity isn’t something you can fake. When Townsend families and businesses need catering that actually delivers on its promises, they choose us.
Our 4.5-star reputation comes from consistently exceeding expectations, whether you’re planning an intimate family gathering or a corporate event for 55 people. We understand that in a community like Townsend, your reputation matters—and so does ours.
First, we discuss your event details, guest count, and any special requirements during a consultation that actually listens to what you need. No generic packages or one-size-fits-all menus—we create a custom plan that fits your vision and budget.
Next, our experienced team handles all the logistics, from coordinating timing to ensuring every dietary restriction is accommodated. We’ve been doing this for over 20 years, so we know exactly what questions to ask and what details matter most.
On event day, we arrive with everything prepared to perfection. Our professional staff sets up, serves, and manages every aspect of the meal while you focus on your guests. When the last plate is cleared, you’ll understand why our clients keep coming back and referring their friends.

Your catering includes authentic Italian dishes that showcase the rare truffle mushroom from Abruzzo—the inspiration behind our restaurant’s name. From our famous grilled calamari to homemade ravioli stuffed with lobster, every menu item reflects genuine Italian coastal cuisine.
We accommodate events from intimate dinners to celebrations for 55 guests, with both plated service and cocktail-style receptions available. Our upstairs dining space features elegant chandeliers and large windows, while our modern downstairs area offers a sophisticated bar setting.
Townsend residents appreciate that they don’t need to travel to Boston’s North End for exceptional Italian food. We bring that same level of authenticity and quality directly to your event, whether it’s a wedding celebration, corporate meeting, or milestone anniversary that deserves something truly special.
We recommend booking your catering at least 2-4 weeks in advance, especially during peak wedding and holiday seasons. This gives us adequate time to plan your custom menu, coordinate logistics, and ensure we have the right staff available for your event date.
For larger events or during busy periods like graduation season, booking 6-8 weeks ahead is even better. Early booking also gives you more flexibility with menu customization and allows us to accommodate any special dietary requirements your guests might have.
If you have a last-minute event, don’t hesitate to call us. We’ll do everything possible to accommodate your needs, though menu options might be more limited on shorter notice.
We cater a wide range of events throughout Townsend, from intimate family dinners and birthday celebrations to corporate meetings and wedding receptions. Our experience spans milestone anniversaries, graduation parties, holiday gatherings, and business events of all sizes.
Whether you’re hosting 10 people for a private dinner or 55 guests for a cocktail reception, we customize our service to match your event’s style and formality. We’re equally comfortable serving a casual family reunion or an elegant corporate gala.
Our most popular events include wedding celebrations, where couples want authentic Italian cuisine that creates lasting memories, and corporate functions where businesses need reliable, impressive catering that reflects well on their organization.
Absolutely. We work with guests who have gluten sensitivities, dairy restrictions, vegetarian preferences, and other dietary needs. Our chefs are experienced in modifying traditional Italian recipes to accommodate various requirements without sacrificing flavor.
During our menu planning consultation, we’ll discuss any dietary restrictions in detail and suggest alternatives that still showcase authentic Italian flavors. Many of our pasta dishes can be prepared gluten-free, and we offer several vegetarian options that are just as satisfying as our meat and seafood selections.
We’ve successfully catered events where half the guests had different dietary needs. With proper advance notice, we ensure everyone at your table enjoys a memorable meal that meets their specific requirements.
Our full-service catering includes menu planning consultation, food preparation using fresh ingredients, professional setup and service staff, and complete cleanup afterward. We bring all necessary serving equipment, linens, and tableware appropriate for your event’s style.
For cocktail receptions, we can accommodate up to 55 guests with passed appetizers and stationed food displays. Seated dinners work well for up to 45 guests, with options for family-style service or individually plated meals.
We also coordinate timing with other vendors, handle last-minute guest count changes, and ensure your event flows smoothly from start to finish. Our goal is to let you enjoy your own event while we manage every detail of the dining experience.
Catering pricing depends on several factors: guest count, menu selections, service style, and any additional services you need. We provide detailed, transparent pricing during our consultation so there are no surprises.
Generally, more elaborate dishes like our signature veal chop or lobster ravioli cost more than simpler pasta dishes, but we work within your budget to create a menu that delivers maximum impact. Family-style service typically costs less than individually plated meals.
We’ll discuss your budget expectations upfront and suggest menu combinations that give you the best value. Many clients are surprised by how affordable authentic Italian catering can be, especially when you consider the quality of ingredients and level of service we provide.
Yes, we provide full catering services throughout Townsend and surrounding communities. Our delivery area extends well beyond our Newton location because we believe exceptional Italian cuisine should be accessible to everyone in the region.
Delivery timing is carefully coordinated to ensure food arrives at optimal temperature and freshness. For events requiring setup and service staff, we arrive with plenty of time to prepare everything before your guests arrive.
Distance from our Newton restaurant doesn’t affect food quality or service standards. We’ve successfully catered events across Massachusetts and understand the logistics needed to deliver the same exceptional experience regardless of location.
