Italian Party Platter Catering, Fort Lauderdale
Hero trays, antipasto boards, hot pans of chicken parm and baked ziti, fresh-baked bread, and Italian cookie trays — built for crowds of 10 to 100+. The party catering Fort Lauderdale calls when the family is coming.
The Italian American Party Spread
A real Italian party doesn’t run out of food. A&S party platter catering is built that way: hero trays sliced for grabbing, antipasto boards with imported Italian meats, hot pans of chicken parmesan and baked ziti straight from the oven, fresh garlic bread, big salad bowls, and Italian cookie trays with rainbow cookies, biscotti, sfogliatelle, and rugelach. Whatever you order, plan for leftovers — that’s the whole point.
We cater Fort Lauderdale parties of every size: kids’ birthdays in the backyard, graduation parties in the garage, baby showers in the dining room, bridal showers at restaurants that allow outside food, retirement parties at the office, milestone birthdays (the 50ths, 60ths, 70ths, 80ths), communions and confirmations, anniversaries, and big family reunions.
