Yes, we cater!

We're often asked if Giacomo's caters so I'm here to shout a really loud "si"...we cater! We cater events big and small and every size in between. And no matter what size the catering job (we've made a platter of delicious imported meats and cheeses for a client to impress a girl on their first date) our goal is to make it memorable.

I'd love to share with you one of our finest catering moments which happened just this past weekend. We catered a fabulous event for 75 people at our client's very elegant private residence. It was a fantastic evening of delicious food and wines featuring a handsome 15 foot international Grand Buffet which included a variety of imported cheeses (piave, cotswold, drunken goat, smoked mozzarella, gorgonzola, manchego, taleggio, aged asiago, humboldt), meats (finocchiona, soppressata, abrusseze, pannini rolls, salumetti), pate (2 varieties), fresh fruits and vegetables, baguette slices, crackers and breadstickseverything from wheels of piave vecchio, asiago, gorgonzola dolce, sopressata, finocchina salami as well as marinated vegetables and stuffed sweet peppers.

In addition, our waitstaff passed several appetizers including sundried tomato pesto crostini with smoked mozzarella, artichoke brushetta crostini with pancetta, tuscan olive pesto crostini with roasted red pepper, caprese skewers (grape tomatoes, marinated cow's milk mozzarella marinated in olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and basil), whipped gorgonzola and caper croustades (little pastry cups) with glazed walnuts, smoked salmon and cream cheese canapes on pumpernickel squares with red onion and cucumber "salsa", beggar's purses of proscuitto and honeydew melon with a chive tie, and the grand finale was our very own signature cannoli dusted with sugar.

For me, it was a dream event and a chance to really show off our stuff!

I have to say, my favorite part of catering an event such as this is watching the expression on my client's face when they realize just how much we've exceded their expections. That feels molto buono amici, it really does!

Here's a shot of our crew that worked that event. From left to right (Backrow)...Me (Milva, William,Josh, Rachel, Rocco, Wendy, and Annalisa (Front row) Amy and Kara.

Thanks guys for another great event!
