Use A Full Menu Italian Catering Seattle Company For Your Next Party

By Pamela Sullivan


Cooking is fun if you know how to do it, or if you have the time. Some people simply do not have the time or inclination, though. In some cases, you want to have a surprise bash or perhaps you are a supervisor who wants to treat your employees to a wonderful, multicourse meal. No matter the reason, a Full Menu Italian Catering Seattle company can help you provide food for a small or very large group without all the usual shopping, work, and stress that might come with such a feat.

The menu options are many, and largely depend upon which company you ultimately decide to go with. Most service is done buffet style, with a few workers there to quickly replace empty bowls or trays and make sure fresh, hot food is always on the table. You can opt instead for a formal sit down dinner, which will cost extra.

If the celebration you are marking with this special meal is for kids, you may be able to request homemade pizzas made to order with a portable pizza oven, if available. Some companies may also have a food truck setup where they have a small but delicious menu of items that are served food truck style to give your guests an added thrill and new experience.

The service time is generally two to four hours, but if you need longer or even all day, that can be arranged for an extra fee. In fact, all arrangements are made in advance with the help of a planner who can go through the menu and take care of all your needs. That includes special dietary needs such as vegan, kosher or even the popular gluten free options.

For a multicourse meal, you will start with appetizers. Bruschetta is a popular Italian option, as is calamari and meatballs in sauce. Many people enjoy a salad as the first course, so fresh tossed greens are always an option. Then there is the classic antipasti platter that has several meats, cheese, olives and other appetizers.

The main course is the centerpiece of the meal, so you want to select one that is a crowd pleaser, such as the classic spaghetti and meatballs or meat sauce. A nice alternative is fettuccine Alfredo, or go a bit nontraditional with paninins. Vegetarians can nosh on eggplant parmigiana, and vegans can opt for the same dish without the usual cheese.

Dessert might include gelato, which is a form of Italian ice cream. Tiramisu is another treat that people love when visiting an Italian restaurant, and of course there are classic cakes as well. These can be served immediately after the entrees, or you can have the staff hold off on serving them for awhile.

You cannot have a full meal without beverages. Most catering companies have a small selection of beverages that cover most tastes. These include water and iced tea, which are usually included with the meal. For an extra fee, however, you can order specialty drinks such as sodas or juices and even carbonated water. Alcohol with bartender service generally requires the hiring of a specialty bar service due to legal restrictions.
