Our on-site catering events are held in our dining room, which seats up to 54 people for a sit-down meal and 45 for a buffet. For our events, we usually use our Lunch and Dinner menus to build a great set menu or buffet for you and your guests. The sit-down meal is usually a 3 or 4-course meal with 2 shared family-style appetizers --- everyone gets our Insalata Della Casa, you choose 4 entrees and 2 of our homemade desserts for your guests to select from at the event.
