You’re not just feeding people. You’re creating an experience that reflects well on you and leaves your guests talking about more than just the meeting or celebration.
When you choose authentic Abruzzese cuisine over generic catering, your guests notice the difference. They taste ingredients that come from a specific region of Italy’s coast, prepared by chefs who understand the tradition behind every dish. Your corporate lunch doesn’t feel like another boxed meal, and your family celebration doesn’t taste like every other party they’ve attended.
The result is simple: people remember your event for the right reasons. They associate quality with your judgment, and they look forward to your next invitation.
We’ve been serving Newton Centre since 2004, which means we’ve learned what works and what doesn’t when it comes to catering events that matter.
We’re not another Italian restaurant that added catering as an afterthought. Our kitchen specializes in Abruzzese cuisine from Italy’s coastal region, using authentic ingredients like the rare tartufo mushrooms that give us our name. When other places serve generic Italian-American food, we’re bringing you dishes that most people in Belmont have never experienced.
Our location gives you quality Italian catering without the hassle of coordinating with Boston restaurants. You get the expertise of chefs often hired directly from the Abruzzo region, combined with the convenience of working with a local business that understands your timeline and logistics.
First, we discuss your event details, guest count, and any dietary requirements during a consultation that actually helps you plan better. Our manager walks you through menu options that make sense for your specific situation, not just what we want to sell.
Next, we handle the preparation using our made-to-order approach. Your food isn’t sitting in warming trays for hours. We time everything so dishes arrive at the right temperature and peak freshness for your event.
Finally, we coordinate delivery and setup according to your schedule. Our team knows that timing matters more in catering than almost any other aspect of the food business. You get your food when you need it, set up the way you specified, so you can focus on your guests instead of managing logistics.

Your catering includes authentic Abruzzese dishes prepared with natural ingredients, not the typical lasagna-and-chicken-parm offerings you’ll find elsewhere. We accommodate dietary restrictions with our strict allergy protocol and can prepare most menu items gluten-free.
For larger events, our private dining room accommodates up to 45 guests for sit-down service or 55 for cocktail-style gatherings. We coordinate the entire experience, from menu planning to setup, so you’re not juggling multiple vendors or worrying about details during your event.
Belmont’s business community particularly benefits from our corporate catering expertise. Whether you’re hosting client meetings, employee appreciation events, or company celebrations, we understand the professional standards you need. Our proximity to Boston College and the greater Newton area means we’ve catered everything from academic conferences to family milestones, giving us insight into what works for different types of gatherings in this community.
We recommend booking at least one week in advance for most events, though we can often accommodate shorter notice depending on our schedule and your guest count.
For larger corporate events or celebrations during busy seasons like holidays, two weeks gives us more flexibility to customize your menu and ensure everything runs smoothly. If you’re planning something during peak times like December or graduation season, even more advance notice helps.
The key is calling as soon as you know your date. We can hold your spot with basic details and finalize menu specifics later as your plans develop.
Yes, we maintain a strict allergy protocol and can prepare most of our menu items gluten-free. Our kitchen is experienced in handling multiple dietary needs within the same event.
When you book, let us know about any allergies, gluten sensitivity, vegetarian needs, or other dietary restrictions. We’ll work with you to ensure those guests have excellent options that don’t feel like afterthoughts or compromises.
Our Abruzzese cuisine naturally includes many seafood and vegetable-based dishes that work well for various dietary preferences. We’re not just removing ingredients from existing dishes—we’re preparing alternatives that fit your guests’ needs while maintaining the quality and authenticity you expect.
Corporate catering includes menu planning consultation, food preparation, delivery, setup, and coordination to match your meeting schedule. We handle the logistics so you can focus on your business objectives.
For office events, we provide serving utensils, plates, napkins, and everything needed for your guests to enjoy their meal. If you’re using our private dining room, we include table service and cleanup as part of the package.
We also coordinate timing around your agenda. If you need food ready at a specific time for a presentation break or client meeting, we build that into our preparation and delivery schedule. Many Belmont businesses appreciate that we understand professional settings and can adapt our service to support your event’s success.
We specialize in authentic Abruzzese cuisine from Italy’s coastal region, which is quite different from the typical Italian-American food most people expect. Our dishes feature more seafood and unique ingredients like the rare tartufo mushrooms.
Many of our chefs are hired directly from the Abruzzo region, so they bring authentic techniques and understanding of traditional recipes. When other caterers serve generic pasta dishes, we’re offering specialties that most guests in Belmont haven’t experienced before.
This means your event stands out. Instead of serving food that tastes like every other Italian catering job, your guests experience something distinctive that reflects well on your taste and planning. It’s the difference between meeting expectations and exceeding them.
Yes, we deliver throughout Belmont and the surrounding Newton area. Our local location makes us more convenient than coordinating with Boston restaurants, and we understand the logistics of reaching different neighborhoods and business districts.
For delivery, we coordinate timing based on your event schedule and provide setup assistance as needed. Our team knows the area well, so we can work around traffic patterns and parking limitations that might complicate delivery from distant caterers.
We also offer our private dining room for events that work better with a restaurant setting. This gives you flexibility to choose the option that best fits your guest count, event style, and logistical preferences.
We cater events from intimate business meetings of 10-15 people up to larger celebrations of 100+ guests. Our private dining room accommodates up to 45 for sit-down dinners or 55 for cocktail-style events.
For larger events, we coordinate off-site catering with the same attention to quality and timing. We’ve handled everything from small family celebrations to corporate events for local businesses and academic institutions.
The key is matching our service level to your event size. Smaller gatherings get the same careful preparation as larger ones, just with more personalized coordination. Larger events benefit from our experience managing complex logistics while maintaining the food quality that sets us apart from typical volume caterers.
