A typical Italian aperitif with seasonal bruschettas, pizzas, grapes and parmesan, fried summer vegetables, Umbrian salami skewers, rustic puff pastries will be served on mirrors and decape wooden risers to accompany a picturesque summer atmosphere.
The group will afterward move to the area dedicated to the buffet of appetizer where guests will find sampling corners of the appetizers chosen. Our maitre will illustrate them the proposals and behind each corner there will be a waiter and a chef who will prepare the cooking show, this is indeed the true point of excellence of our catering company!
