We recently had The Vespa Affair cater a party at our home, and it was truly incredible! Their setup is one-of-a-kind — they arrived with a fleet of charming Vespas, each with its ...
own specialty. One had a pizza oven with beautiful custom tiles, and watching them make fresh pizzas with various toppings right on site was such a hit with our guests. Another Vespa served gelato including pistacchio, banana/dulce de leche, cookies & cream and strawberry sorbetto. All were a hit. The hub for appetizers, again cooked on site, offered perfectly fried calamari (honestly, the best fried calamari we have ever had), antipasto skewers, rice balls, fresh mozzarella with tomato, and sliced Italian bread. Everything was so fresh and so delicious!
The staff was fantastic. We didn’t have to lift a finger. They took care of everything including plates, silverware, napkins, etc. The bartender served beautiful aperol spritz with fresh orange slices from a prosecco tap perfectly placed on the bar of the third vespa!!
Every bite was amazing, and the presentation was as fun as it was delicious. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about it! The Vespa Affair brought such a unique, authentic Italian flair to the evening — it felt like a little piece of Italy rolled right into our backyard.
If you’re looking to make your next event unforgettable, we can’t recommend The Vespa Affair enough!
