Bartolino's Catering in St. Louis: What to Expect, What Is on the Menu, and How to Get Started

Planning an event in St. Louis? Bartolino’s offers Italian catering across three locations. See the menu, explore event types, and learn how to get started.

Figuring out the food for a big event is one of those tasks that sounds manageable until you are actually doing it. You want something that works for the crowd, something people will remember for the right reasons, and a team that handles the logistics so you are not fielding questions about pasta pans on the day of your event.

Bartolino’s catering has been handling exactly that for St. Louis families, businesses, and organizations across three locations: Bartolino’s The Hill, Bartolino’s South, and Bartolino’s Twin Oaks. The same Italian food the restaurants have been known for since 1969 comes to your venue, your office, or your backyard, with the team managing the planning and setup so you can focus on actually being present at your own event.

Italian Catering for Weddings, Corporate Events, and Every Occasion Between

The list of occasions Bartolino’s catering fits is a long one. On the family and personal side: weddings and rehearsal dinners, graduation parties, anniversary celebrations, retirement gatherings, baby showers, birthday milestones, celebrations of life, and reunions. On the professional and organizational side: corporate lunches and dinners, client appreciation events, office holiday parties, team recognition meals, business banquets, church group dinners, school organization events, and sports banquets.

The common thread across all of them is that the food needs to deliver without requiring your attention. Bartolino’s catering is built around that reality. You submit the details, finalize the menu, and the team handles the rest.
