When it comes to local catering, finding the best option can sometimes be overwhelming – especially if your guests come with a range of dietary preferences. From vegetarian to gluten-free, packed with all the meats to dairy restrictions, hosting an event can certainly be stressful. With this in mind, it’s important to find the best local catering that provides a variety of options to ensure there is something for everyone.
At Joseph’s Trattoria, Tuscan Paninis are often the highlight of corporate luncheons and mid-day family gatherings. Here, we’re taking a look at a few options fit to serve a crowd.
VEGGIES FOR THE WIN
When it comes to authentic Italian cooking, vegetarian options are not always the first to come to mind. However, when you grill up a nice assortment of fresh, seasonal veggies with caramelized onions and a lemon dressing, you have yourself a dish everyone can enjoy.
Add a few greens and serve it all on freshly baked ciabatta bread … need we say more?
CHICKEN, IN ALL FASHIONS
Fried or grilled, chicken paninis are one of the most popular options. At Joseph’s Trattoria, grilled chicken is paired with fontina cheese, roasted peppers, mixed greens, and a lemon-basil vinaigrette for a delightful treat for the taste buds! If you’re looking for something a bit heartier, give the chicken cutlet a try. Breaded and cooked to perfection, served with housemade pomodoro sauce, shredded mozzarella, and roasted peppers, drizzled with olive oil and basil, will certainly leave your guests satisfied!
CLASSIC ITALIAN SPREADS
Of course, the classic offerings are always a crowd favorite and remain at the heart of any authentic Italian catering spread. Rich flavors, fresh ingredients, and time-honored combinations create the kind of dining experience people return to again and again. Whether served at a family gathering, a catered lunch, or an elegant dinner party, traditional Italian sandwiches and spreads deliver both simplicity and bold flavor.
A beautifully prepared ciabatta layered with imported Italian meats, fresh mozzarella, sharp provolone, ripe tomatoes, basil, olive oil, and balsamic glaze offers the perfect balance of savory and fresh ingredients. Cured favorites like prosciutto, soppressata, capicola, and salami pair effortlessly with creamy cheeses and crusty artisan bread, creating a satisfying bite packed with flavor.
For guests looking for something warm and hearty, grilled Italian sausage topped with sweet caramelized onions and tangy banana peppers remains a timeless favorite. The combination of smoky sausage, slightly sweet onions, and the bright kick of peppers creates a bold and memorable flavor profile that works perfectly for lunch, dinner, or game day gatherings.
