Make the brief specific
Clarify whether pasta is finished on site, how courses are timed, and what kitchen equipment is needed. Compare a family-style meal with individually plated service before selecting the menu.
A starting point for your menu
Antipasti to begin, a pasta course or shared main, seasonal vegetables and a dessert or espresso moment.
Make space for every guest
List dietary requirements separately from cuisine preferences. Ask the caterer about ingredients, preparation and cross-contact before confirming any menu. A cuisine label is not an allergy, halal or kosher assurance.
Compare the whole service
Ask what the quote includes: food, staff, setup, rentals, travel, service duration and cleanup. Confirm the guest-count deadline and what happens if plans change.
