What is a good Italian catering menu?

A good Italian catering menu balances something to start, something to share and something sweet. It opens with fried street food such as arancini and fritti, moves to Roman-style pizza and fresh pasta as the main event, and finishes with house-made desserts. At Pronto478, we build every catering menu this way around our Roman pizza, accredited by the Associazione Pizza Romana, then adjust it to your guest count and dietary needs.

What is the best Italian food to serve at a party?

The best Italian food to serve at a party is pizza. It is made to share, easy to eat standing up, and everyone has a favourite. Pair Roman-style pizza with Italian street food such as arancini and panini, then add vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options so every guest is covered.

What is a typical Italian menu?

A typical Italian menu runs in courses: antipasto (starters), primo (pasta), secondo (mains) and dolce (dessert). For events, we translate that structure into a relaxed street food format of starters, pizza and pasta, then dessert, so the tradition stays while the service suits a party.
