Two Decades of Authentic Italian Excellence

Since 2004, we’ve been serving Hudson and the surrounding communities with award-winning Italian cuisine that goes beyond the typical lasagna and chicken parm offerings you’ll find elsewhere.

Founded by Anna Mountzuris, we specialize in authentic Abruzzese and Mediterranean cuisine—the kind of food that comes from Italy’s coastal regions where seafood meets traditional Italian cooking techniques. This isn’t American-Italian food trying to pass itself off as authentic.

Hudson families and businesses have relied on us for nearly twenty years because we understand that when you’re hosting an event, the food needs to be something people actually want to eat. We use all-natural ingredients, make our pasta from scratch, and prepare everything to order because that’s how real Italian food is supposed to be made.

Simple Process, Exceptional Results

Planning catering shouldn’t add stress to your event preparation. We’ve streamlined our process to make it as straightforward as possible while ensuring every detail meets your expectations.

Start by telling us about your event—the date, number of guests, and any dietary preferences or restrictions. We’ll work with you to create a custom menu that fits your budget and your guests’ tastes, whether you want our signature veal chop, fresh seafood risotto, or classic comfort dishes done right.

We handle everything from preparation to setup, arriving at your location with professional service staff who understand how to keep your event running smoothly. You focus on your guests while we take care of ensuring everyone has an exceptional dining experience. After the event, we handle cleanup so you can enjoy the rest of your evening instead of dealing with dishes and leftover coordination.

What You Actually Get With Our Catering

Our catering service includes everything you need for a successful event, not just the food. We provide professional setup, service staff, and all necessary serving equipment so your event looks and runs professionally from start to finish.

Menu options range from elegant plated dinners featuring our signature dishes like lobster ravioli and grilled calamari to family-style service perfect for more casual gatherings. We accommodate events from intimate dinner parties of 10 to large celebrations of 100 or more guests.

Hudson’s business community particularly appreciates our corporate catering options, which include individual boxed lunches for meetings and full-service buffets for company events. We understand that corporate catering needs to be reliable, professional, and appealing to diverse tastes—which is why local businesses have been choosing us for their important events year after year. Our full bar service and wine selection add the finishing touches that make your event feel complete rather than just fed.

How far in advance should I book catering in Hudson, MA?

For most events, we recommend booking at least two weeks in advance, especially during busy seasons like spring and fall when wedding and corporate events are most frequent. However, we can often accommodate shorter notice for smaller events.

If you’re planning a large event with 50 or more guests, or if you need catering during peak times like holidays or graduation season, booking 3-4 weeks ahead ensures you get your preferred date and menu options. For corporate events with specific dietary requirements or custom menu requests, earlier booking also gives us time to plan properly.

We keep some flexibility in our schedule for last-minute needs, so don’t hesitate to call even if your event is coming up soon. The worst thing that can happen is we’re already booked, but often we can find a way to make it work.

Our pricing includes the food, professional service staff, setup and breakdown, serving equipment, linens, and basic tableware. You’re not paying just for food and then discovering hidden fees for service or equipment rental.

What you won’t find in our base pricing is delivery fees for locations within Hudson and the immediate surrounding area, or charges for standard dietary accommodations like gluten-free options. We believe in transparent pricing that lets you budget accurately from the start.

Additional services like upgraded linens, specialty cocktail service, or extended service hours are available for an additional fee, but we’ll discuss all options and costs upfront during planning. No surprises on your final bill—just great food and professional service at the price we agreed on.

Yes, we regularly accommodate various dietary needs including gluten-free, vegetarian, and food allergies. Our kitchen staff understands how to prepare dishes safely for guests with restrictions while ensuring the food still tastes exceptional.

For gluten-free guests, we offer several pasta dishes made with gluten-free alternatives, plus naturally gluten-free options like our risottos and grilled seafood dishes. Vegetarian options go beyond basic pasta with marinara—we create satisfying dishes like our eggplant parmigiana and vegetable risottos that vegetarian guests actually want to eat.

If you have guests with specific food allergies, let us know when you book so we can plan accordingly. We take food safety seriously and will work with you to ensure everyone at your event can enjoy their meal without worry. The key is communication during the planning process so we can prepare properly.

Absolutely. We cater both corporate functions and private celebrations, and we understand that each type of event has different needs and expectations.

For corporate events, we offer professional presentation, reliable timing, and menu options that work well for business settings—like individual boxed lunches for meetings or elegant buffets for company celebrations. Our service staff understands corporate environments and maintains the professional atmosphere your business event requires.

Private celebrations get the same attention to food quality but with more flexibility for family-style service, custom menu requests, and the warmer, more personal touch that makes milestone celebrations special. Whether it’s a wedding, anniversary, graduation party, or family reunion, we adjust our service style to match the occasion while maintaining our standards for authentic Italian cuisine.

We provide catering delivery throughout Hudson and the surrounding MetroWest communities including Marlborough, Stow, Bolton, Berlin, and Sudbury. Our delivery area extends to most locations within a 15-20 minute drive from our restaurant.

For events within this delivery zone, there’s no additional delivery charge. We factor delivery and setup time into our event planning so everything arrives fresh and on schedule, regardless of your location within our service area.

If your event is outside our standard delivery area, we can often still accommodate it with advance notice and a reasonable delivery fee. Distance isn’t usually a deal-breaker—we’ve catered events as far as Worcester and the North Shore when clients specifically wanted our authentic Italian cuisine for their special occasions.

Our catering pricing is structured per person with different tiers based on menu selection and service level, not arbitrary minimums that force you to pay for guests you don’t have.

Smaller events of 10-25 people work well with our family-style service options, where pricing includes generous portions of 2-3 main dishes plus sides and salad. Mid-size events of 25-50 guests often choose our buffet service, which offers more variety and allows guests to customize their plates.

For larger events over 50 people, we offer both buffet and plated dinner options. Plated service costs more per person but creates a more formal dining experience, while buffet service is more cost-effective for casual celebrations. We’ll walk through all options during planning so you can choose what fits both your budget and the style of event you want to host.
