Pasta Station Party Catering

cocojack10 · June 2010

If I end up hosting it at home, I envisioned providing dinner via a self-serve pasta station (buffet style). I went to a party a while back that had one, and it was amazing. Basically, the "chefs" prepare your meal to order (lots of different options on types of pasta, sauce, ingredients) buffett style.

Anyone use a catering company like this they would recommend? I did a google search and didn't find anyone!

THANKS

Great idea! I just googled pasta catering in Miami and this was one of the first links that showed up:

I have no idea if it's any good, but it sounds interesting! Could you ask the hosts of the party you attended who they used? I'm sure they'd be flattered you enjoyed it so much!

I saw that one, thanks!

Honestly, I have no idea who's party it was... it was like 4-5 yrs ago. LOL

just a thought...to cut on costs you can order from pasta factory or something and have people serve themselves. if you're worried about cost this will definitely cut down.

Eve - that's def an option. Just want to get different quotes to see which works best.

cool! whoever is helping out can help with the side items, like salads, breadsticks etc so you cut down on costs also. we're doing brunch so everything is breakfast/early lunch type of foods...super low on cost.

I would contact caterers and ask them for quotes on doing a pasta station, don't know that there is a big enough market for that kind of thing that you will find companies that specialize in it.

Call a few not-so-pricey caterers and ask them.

SIL's last shower was like this... we offered breakfast food, as well as some light lunch items. We prepared the food at my house (I have a very spacious kitchen). It turned out awesome.

For the tea sandwiches and scones, we had them cut out w/ cookie cutters in shape of baby items (ie, rattle, bottle, bear)... cousin bought the cutters on ebay for real cheap. We cut a watermelon in half (with a nice edge) and emptied it, and used it for the fruit bowl - looked awesome. We also made bite sized french toasts as well as a few tortillas cut to bit size pieces.

It was def economical and turned out real nice! GL!

Have you ever heard of a place called Bruschetta & Co? They host events. I personally have never been but a friend of a friend (i know real reputable-LOL) had a bridal shower there and they had over 100 people. She said the packages started around 17 per person.. Im not sure what your budget or if that is even an option..

Personally I think it would be cheaper to have it at your house and just cater food in or if you have a friend that lives where a clubhouse can be rented..

Im not much help I don't live in miami, but you got me all teary-eyed in your other post my parents had their engagement dinner at the rusty pelican over 30 years ago..

Thanks for the rec... I'll look into it. I think the house idea is the most economical, but want to price everything out before deciding.

My mom had her shower for me at the Rusty Pelican, and she wants me to host it there! LOL That would be very cool, but way $$

My bridal shower was at Bruschetta & Co. It was very economical and the food is good. But, I had a couple of complaints - time limit, didn't get to open gifts there, some games were too rowdy for the quiet crowd at the restaurant.

Jacky keep us posted, we are thinking of doing this route. For all of our parties we usually cater/cook cuban food and we want to cater/cook something different for the baby shower.

What do you have in mind for the menu?
