A modern approach to Italian cuisine with our Focaccaria and spaghetti house.
**Elevate Your Event with Mambo Italiano: The Art of Italian Catering**
In the heart of Arizona's vibrant culinary landscape, Arizona Event Catering is thrilled to introduce Mambo Italiano, a new brand that brings the rich tradition of Italian cuisine directly to your table. As we embark on this delicious journey, it's essential to share why choosing an Italian caterer, particularly Mambo Italiano, offers an unparalleled experience over traditional restaurants or general caterers.
**A Legacy of Italian Excellence**
Rooted in a deep heritage of Italian culinary mastery, Mambo Italiano draws inspiration from my family's history in the restaurant industry. With Papa J's New York Pizza and Giordano's Italian Cuisines laying the foundation which began in downtown Tempe in 1970, and spreading the valley with 9 locations until 2005, I grew up immersed in authentic Italian cooking. These experiences have not only shaped my approach to cuisine but also instilled a passion for bringing people together through food.
**The Mambo Italiano Difference**
Choosing Mambo Italiano for your catering needs means embracing a philosophy where quality, freshness, and sustainability are at the forefront. Unlike traditional restaurants, we're not bound by the constraints of static menus or price points that often compromise ingredient quality. Instead, we pride ourselves on flexibility and innovation, ensuring each dish reflects the authentic flavors of Italy while meeting our clients' unique preferences.
What is a focaccaria?!
Modern Italian according to our palate, is old world Italy brought into the new era. We’ve taken a step back with our farm to table approach with ingredients (read below), and focused on new inventive ways to serve it, while inventing new dishes with a flare that will awaken the taste buds to a refreshing approach to this beloved region of cuisine. Just imagine, fresh rosemary and garlic focaccia served with a variety of different dips and toppings. Or the open faced focaccia sandwich topped with our sautéed tangy peppers and onions, then finished with thinly sliced Italian beef roast dipped raw into our savory fresh simmering herb au jus! Or, our spaghetti Siciliana with a smooth tomato basil Napoli with Polly O creamy ricotta and freshly grated Parmesan, fresh basil, and a quarter pound fresh herb meatball.
**Freshness on Site: A Promise to Our Clients**
One of the hallmarks of Mambo Italiano is our commitment to assembling pasta dishes on-site. This practice guarantees that every pan of food served is at its peak of freshness and quality, a stark contrast to pre-made meals that risk losing their luster over time. It's this attention to detail and dedication to excellence that sets us apart, making every event a memorable gastronomic adventure.
**Local Partnerships: From Hayden Flour Mills to Queen Creek Olive Mill**
Our dedication to authenticity and sustainability extends to our partnerships with local farms and producers. By sourcing our flour from Hayden Flour Mills, we're not just using any flour; we're incorporating the rich flavors and nutritional benefits of heritage grains grown, and milled right here in Arizona. This commitment to local, sustainable ingredients ensures our dishes are not only delicious but also environmentally responsible.
Similarly, our collaboration with Queen Creek Olive Mill allows us to use artisan olive oils, adding depth and richness to our dishes that mass-produced oils simply can't match. These partnerships reflect our dedication to supporting the local economy while providing our clients with the highest quality ingredients available.
