On Feb. 6, Giada De Laurentiis launched her Italian-inspired catering service,\u00a0Giada Catering<\/a>, across Southern California. Reimagining the traditional catering experience with an emphasis on entertaining, Giada Catering reflects De Laurentiis\u2019 warm, yet sophisticated approach to hosting that removes the guesswork from crafting the perfect event.<\/p>\n

With four curated themes \u2014 Amalfi, Milan, Rome, and California Italian \u2014 Giada Catering offers menus, cocktails, and tablescapes inspired by their namesake. Bringing\u00a0events to life while encouraging connection and conversation, the Emmy Award-winning, bestselling cookbook author has partnered with\u00a0Patina Restaurant Group<\/a> to execute catering services for events of all sizes\u00a0from San Diego to Santa Barbara.\u00a0The launch marks a full-circle moment for De Laurentiis, whose\u00a0passion for the intersection of family, food, and entertaining ignited during her early career working as a private chef in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiada Catering combines two of my greatest passions: entertaining and bringing people together through food,\u201d says De Laurentiis. \u201cStaying true to my early catering roots curating, preparing, and delivering delicious menus out of my home kitchen, Giada Catering delivers that same authentic spirit to Southern California events with immersive inspirations centered around the connection.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

FOUR INSPIRATIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Curated by De Laurentiis with support from Giada Catering\u2019s executive chef Tony Leitera, the four menus \u2014 dubbed \u201cinspirations\u201d \u2014 feature dishes from Giada\u2019s Las Vegas restaurant, as well as exclusive new offerings. Each dish is made using premium ingredients such as fresh, locally sourced California produce, imported, DOP-certified tomatoes from Italy, handmade pastas crafted by in-house chefs, and more.<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0An elevated buffet-style experience,\u00a0Amalfi<\/a> focuses on seafood-forward dishes like branzino<\/span>\u00a0with Tuscan Bean Ragu<\/span>, <\/span>Giada\u2019s Famous Lemon Spaghetti with Jumbo Prawns,<\/span> and a show-stopping <\/span>Seafood Tower<\/span> action station featuring <\/span>fresh lobster, shrimp cocktail, king crab and West Coast oysters served with house-made cocktail sauces and mignonette\u2019s.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0The\u00a0Milan<\/a>\u00a0inspiration,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/em>ideal for galas and formal dining occasions, features\u00a0thoughtfully\u00a0prepared Italian favorites like De Laurentiis\u2019 signature\u00a0<\/span>Veal Saltimbocca<\/span>, <\/span>Lobster Ravioli,<\/span> y <\/span>Vegetable Bolognese Rigatoni<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0Inspired by Italy\u2019s capital and created for reception-style events,\u00a0Rome<\/a>\u00a0offers modern Roman cuisine such as\u00a0<\/span>Artichoke Arancini, Arugula Candied Lemon, and Pancetta Salad <\/span>y un <\/span>Pizza Action Station<\/span>\u00a0featuring cooked and spun-to-order pizzas with options like\u00a0<\/span>Pizza Bianca with mortadella<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>y<\/span> Parmigiano Reggiano<\/span> y\u00a0<\/span>Burrata Basil <\/span>y<\/span> Tomato<\/span>.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00b7 <\/span>El<\/span>\u00a0California Italian<\/a> menu melds Italian cuisine with California\u2019s coastal ingredients for\u00a0family-style events. Created with the health-conscious diner in mind without compromising on flavor, dishes include <\/span>Zucchini <\/span>y<\/span> Prosciutto Spiedini,\u00a0 De Laurentiis\u2019<\/span> modern take on eggplant<\/span>\u00a0Parmesan<\/span>y <\/span>Brussels Sprouts, Kale, <\/span>y <\/span>Pomegranate Salad<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/em>Decadent desserts created by Giada Catering\u2019s pastry chef, which can be offered as tray-passed bite-sized items or plated single servings at galas, include options such as <\/span>Chocolate Hazelnut Crunch Cake\u00a0<\/span>y<\/span>\u00a0Limoncello Mascarpone Cheesecake.<\/span><\/p>\n

CURATED COCKTAIL PAIRINGS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Each of the four inspirations comes with expertly matched cocktails: The\u00a0<\/span>Italian Margarita<\/span>\u00a0on the California Italian menu made with\u00a0<\/span>silver tequila, fresh lemon, Aperol, and sweet and salty rim<\/span>; <\/span>a<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Limone Drop<\/span> on the Amalfi menu using house-made Limoncello; the\u00a0<\/span>Spirito Milano<\/span>\u00a0on the Milan menu, shaken with The Botanist Gin, Galliano and bitters; and the\u00a0<\/span>Buona Notte<\/span>, a perfect after dinner martini to complement Giada Catering\u2019s Rome offerings.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

TRANSPORTIVE TABLESCAPES <\/strong><\/p>\n

Reflecting her personal aesthetic and drawing inspiration from her grandmother\u2019s authentic Italian dinnerware collection, De Laurentiis selected the tablescape d\u00e9cor and design accents for each inspiration. Conveying a rustic yet vibrant ambiance, both Amalfi and California Italian feature organic linens, as well as wooden serving boards and hand-painted ceramic plates that incorporate hues reminiscent of a seaside sunset. Melding metropolitan glamour with coastal luxury, Milan and Rome focus on delicate dinnerware in shades of gold and rose gold with white marble serving boards and accent d\u00e9cor. With connection at the forefront of each experience, organic floral arrangements complete each tablescape while adding texture and charm.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
