You’re not just feeding people. You’re creating an experience they’ll talk about long after the last bite. When you choose our catering for your Marlborough event, your guests taste the difference that 20 years of culinary expertise makes.
No more wondering if the food will show up lukewarm or bland. No more apologizing for generic catering that tastes like it came from a factory. Your event deserves the same award-winning Italian cuisine that has made us a Newton area favorite since 2004.
From intimate business meetings to large celebrations, we bring restaurant-quality Abruzzese specialties directly to your venue. Fresh homemade pasta, perfectly grilled seafood, and signature dishes like our famous Grilled Calamari arrive exactly as they would in our dining room.
We’re not another catering company trying to be everything to everyone. We’re a family-owned Italian restaurant that happens to cater, and that makes all the difference for your Marlborough events.
Since 2004, Anna and Ted Mountzuris have built our reputation on one simple principle: authentic Abruzzese cuisine prepared with genuine care. Our chefs come directly from the Abruzzo region of Italy, bringing traditional techniques that you simply can’t fake.
While other caterers in the Marlborough area focus on volume, we focus on the details that matter. Every sauce is made from scratch. Every pasta is rolled fresh. Every dish reflects the coastal Italian heritage that makes our cuisine unique in Massachusetts.
Catering with us starts with a conversation about your Marlborough event. We discuss your guest count, dietary preferences, and the kind of experience you want to create. No pushy sales tactics or one-size-fits-all packages.
Next, we create a custom menu that fits your vision and budget. Whether you need elegant plated dinners for a corporate event or family-style platters for a celebration, we design the perfect combination of our signature dishes. Our team handles all the preparation in our professional kitchen, ensuring every item meets our restaurant standards.
On event day, we arrive with everything needed to serve a memorable meal. Hot food stays hot, presentation looks professional, and your guests enjoy authentic Italian flavors that rival any fine dining experience. You focus on your event while we handle the details that make great catering seamless.
Ready to get started?
Marlborough businesses and families choose our catering because we understand what authentic Italian food should taste like. Our Abruzzese specialties aren’t available from typical catering companies in the area. You’re getting regional Italian cuisine that most people have never experienced.
We accommodate dietary restrictions without compromising flavor. Gluten-free options, vegetarian selections, and custom preparations are handled with the same attention to detail as our signature dishes. Our team works directly with you to ensure every guest feels included.
Local Marlborough events benefit from our proximity and established supply relationships. We source the freshest ingredients from trusted vendors, many of whom we’ve worked with for years. This consistency shows in every bite and gives you confidence that your catering will exceed expectations, not just meet them.
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 menu requirements. Larger events or those during busy seasons (holidays, graduation season, wedding season) should be booked 4-6 weeks ahead.
The earlier you book, the more flexibility we have to customize your menu and ensure we can dedicate the proper time to your event preparation. We’ve found that clients who plan ahead get exactly what they envision, while last-minute requests sometimes require menu adjustments based on ingredient availability.
For corporate events in Marlborough, we suggest establishing a relationship early in the year. Many of our business clients book quarterly or monthly catering in advance, which guarantees their preferred dates and often qualifies for volume pricing.
Our full-service catering includes menu planning, food preparation, delivery, setup, and all necessary serving equipment. You receive chafing dishes, serving utensils, plates, napkins, and everything needed to serve your guests professionally.
We handle the logistics so you don’t have to worry about keeping food at proper temperatures or figuring out serving logistics. Our team arrives early to set everything up according to your timeline, whether that’s a working lunch that needs to be ready exactly at noon or a reception that requires staged food service.
What’s not included is service staff for events requiring plated service or bartending. However, we can recommend trusted partners in the Marlborough area for these services, and we coordinate closely with them to ensure seamless execution.
Absolutely. We take dietary restrictions and allergies seriously because we understand how important it is that every guest feels included. Our kitchen is equipped to handle gluten-free preparations, vegetarian and vegan options, and most common food allergies.
During menu planning, we discuss all dietary needs upfront. We can prepare modified versions of our signature dishes or create entirely separate options that complement the main menu. For example, our risotto can be made vegan, and we offer gluten-free pasta alternatives that maintain the same authentic flavors.
We maintain strict protocols in our kitchen to prevent cross-contamination for severe allergies. If your Marlborough event includes guests with serious food allergies, we’ll walk through our preparation process with you to ensure everyone’s safety and peace of mind.
We cater everything from intimate business meetings for 10 people to large celebrations with 100+ guests. Corporate events are a specialty – working lunches, client dinners, holiday parties, and company milestones. Our professional presentation and reliable service work well for business settings.
Family celebrations are equally important to us. Birthday parties, anniversaries, graduations, and holiday gatherings all benefit from authentic Italian cuisine that brings people together. We’ve catered backyard parties, community center events, and private dining rooms throughout Marlborough.
Wedding-related events deserve special mention. While we don’t cater full wedding receptions, we’re perfect for rehearsal dinners, engagement parties, and smaller wedding celebrations where you want restaurant-quality food without the formality of traditional wedding catering.
Our catering pricing is based on your menu selections, guest count, and service requirements. We provide detailed quotes that break down food costs, delivery, setup, and any additional services so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Most Marlborough events fall into our standard delivery area, which includes a reasonable delivery fee. We offer package pricing for popular combinations and can work within specific budgets by adjusting portion sizes or menu selections. Volume discounts apply for larger events or repeat corporate clients.
We believe in transparent pricing without hidden fees. Your quote includes everything discussed during planning, and we stick to that price unless you request changes. Payment terms are flexible – we typically require a deposit to secure your date with the balance due before or on the day of your event.
The biggest difference is authenticity. We’re not a catering company that happens to make Italian food – we’re an established Italian restaurant that offers catering. Our chefs trained in the Abruzzo region of Italy, and our recipes reflect genuine regional traditions you won’t find elsewhere in Massachusetts.
Our 20-year reputation in the Newton area speaks for itself. We’ve built relationships with local suppliers, perfected our preparation methods, and earned the trust of thousands of customers. When you choose us for your Marlborough event, you’re getting the same quality that keeps our restaurant busy every night.
Most importantly, we care about your event’s success as much as you do. We’re not trying to maximize the number of events we handle in a day. We take on the right number of catering jobs to ensure each one receives proper attention, fresh preparation, and professional execution.
