Dinner,
at home.

A real Italian dinner, cooked in your kitchen and plated at the table, on the night you choose. We arrive a few hours before service and prepare everything fresh and by hand.

This is what we do best. A chef and a Sommelier, with the day's market in tow: We set up in your kitchen, and serve at the table.

Menus are agreed in advance. If you've got a particular dish you love or a wine you want to drink with it, let us know: we are realize your Italian dream.

For four to sixteen guests. Wine pairings on request, or bring your own and we serve it. A 20% deposit secures the date.

No. 02 · Events & Catering

For the bigger
nights.

When dinner outgrows your dining table, we cater receptions, anniversaries, milestone birthdays, and summer gatherings of up to one hundred guests, in homes and venues across New Jersey and New York.

The food doesn't change because the room gets bigger. We still cook on site, plate by hand, and serve at the table. Three formats below, each priced per guest. Custom proposals on request.

Format A

Cocktail Reception

$85 per guest

Two hours of passed canapés and three antipasti stations. Bruschetta, affettati, fritti, seasonal crostini, a cheese board built around the day. Suits openings, welcome receptions, and gatherings before a sit-down event.

Format B

Family-Style Dinner

$125 per guest

Antipasti, two pastas, two mains, vegetables, dolci. Served on platters at the table, the way you'd eat at a long Sunday lunch in Italy. Best for groups of twenty to sixty.

Format C

Plated Multi-Course

$185 per guest

Four plated courses, restaurant-style service, wine pairings on request. For seated dinners of any size up to one hundred. Good for milestone birthdays, rehearsal dinners, formal anniversaries.

Tell us about your celebration, and we'll build the solution for you.

No. 03 · La Tavola Settimanale

A weekly
table.

Ten dinners a week, sourced from the market, prepared fresh, and delivered to your door. For households that want a proper chef's table every night without the stress of ordering.

Shore season moves fast. Eight people around a table, nobody agreeing on where to go, takeout containers stacked by nine. Most households spending are already putting $150–300 a night into random dinners that leave you unsatisfied. Our Tavola is the alternative: a week's worth of Italian dinners, cooked by our chef, portioned for your household, and waiting in your kitchen when the evening starts.

Ten meals a week, two courses each — a primo and a secondo, prepared fresh and delivered ready to serve. The menu rotates with what the market offers. You tell us what you won't eat; everything else we handle. Our two proposals are separated only by sourcing: different ingredients at the table, same delicious quality.

We work with a small number of households per week. Most start with a single week, with no commitment attached.

Plan I

La Settimana

Ten dinners. Two courses each. Market ingredients, prepared fresh, delivered weekly.

$750 per week · $75 per dinner
  • 10 dinners · primo & secondo each
  • Portioned for your household
  • Menu set weekly, follows the season
  • Delivered ready to serve
