The best catering services in Milan
From elegant banquets to street food, for private parties, corporate events and special occasions of every kind
In Milan, every event calls for tailored catering: from casual drinks to breakfast with colleagues, high-profile dinners to dream weddings, and workshops to the most exclusive fashion gatherings. In a city built on social occasions, the food has to reflect the mood, the crowd and the aesthetic of the event. Milan offers an impressive range to suit every need, spanning street food, ethical projects and fine dining. Here is our selection of the best catering services in Milan, for events that truly leave their mark.
Vecchia Macina
Via Bartolomeo Eustachi, 24

From business breakfasts to cocktail parties, formal dinners and ceremonies, every detail is carefully curated, from the food to the staging. The kitchen blends tradition and innovation using fresh seasonal produce, while the mixology service creates cocktails designed to elevate every moment. After all, founders Antonio and David know a thing or two about good food and drink: they are also the owners of Baobar, a spot on Via Eustachi serving great cocktails and food with an international twist. Vecchia Macina ensures a flexible, professional service that matches the style of your event, with a broad offering that goes well beyond food & beverage: they also handle venue sourcing, staging, staff and full on-site support.
Altatto
Via Comune Antico, 15
Perhaps better known as a vegetarian bistro, Altatto actually started out as a caterer. The heart of the project remains its travelling kitchen: seasonal menus, creative finger food and original cocktails, with a delightful, almost fairytale aesthetic that is unmistakable, designed for private and corporate gatherings of any size. The founders build each menu to measure while staying faithful to their core ethos: serving high-quality vegetarian food that appeals to every palate and respects the planet, guided by a genuine love for nature and small producers. Backed by professional chefs and a flexible setup, every event becomes a fresh, bespoke dining experience.
Officina Milano

Officina Milano is a cocktail bar where a vintage atmosphere, attention to detail and outstanding drinks combine for an authentic, engaging experience. Also well known for its Sunday brunch, it is an ideal spot to unwind with friends or family. Building on this expertise, it recently launched Officina Academy, a training centre running practical, professional courses to help you become a master in cocktail creation, an expert in catering services and skilled in hospitality staff training. Alongside this, Officina runs a catering service for private and corporate events, naturally with a focus on high-calibre drinks: bespoke cocktails, signature mixology and tailored setups. A refined, flexible food menu rounds off the offer.
Ape Cesare
If you are looking for bold flavour, authentic Roman character and good humour from a caterer, look no further than Ape Cesare, the ambassador of genuine Roman street food in Milan. Forget stiff catering and tiny portions: here you get porchetta, supplì, maritozzi, burgers and beer, often served from charming Ape food trucks that turn any event into a fun, informal gathering. The venture began in 2016 with a single three-wheeled Ape selling classic Roman street food around Milan. Ideal for corporate or private catering, Ape Cesare pairs fresh food made daily with warm, engaging service: as true Romans, the team always have a witty remark ready and know how to keep guests entertained.

Mimosa Milano is a refined catering service for corporate and private clients, founded by chef and entrepreneur Mimosa Misasi. The approach is contemporary, mindful of seasonality and ingredient quality, with menus that border on haute cuisine, tailored to each occasion.
