Hosting with a Taste of Italy

Planning an occasion can be an elaborate affair, from intimate gatherings to corporate happenings. Managing the finer details can be a convoluted exercise with too many moving parts. And so, catering considerations sweep in.

Do all-inclusive event catering services exist? In New York, most certainly. Still, your vision for the occasion includes the unconditional presence of 'unforgettable.' Let's add a little bit of green, white, and red spice here.

Why Italian Catering?

Italian catering offers guests an expression of Italian hospitality topped with flavors reminiscent of nonna's kitchen. The delight is bottomless, and a good time is inevitable. An event at Ambra, an authentic Italian restaurant in the West Village, feels just like this.

From hosting A-lister occasions to heartfelt milestone celebrations with family and friends, there is something for everyone. You might wonder what you can look forward to when Ambra caters an event – let's taste.

Seamless Service

When looking for a suitable venue that combines eccellente food and exquisite delivery – foundations that make up a good event – service is at the top of the list. It can quite simply transform an occasion, making a memorable gathering even in a city known for its social events and parties.

With a heart for celebration, true to our Italian heritage, Ambra plays host to eloquent food and fare for its guests in more ways than one, with Italian catering in the West Village that also happens to be fully customizable. Serving and sharing are at the heart of what we're passionate about, so an Ambra private event sees all those in attendance having the whole place to themselves.

Abundant Variety

An exquisite event knows that variety is part of the selection of catering must-haves. Catering to the diverse dietary needs of attendees has a lead role in the unforgettable time that's expected.

Fresh, humble, and traditional Italian ingredients embody this variety and versatility in every sense of the word. With deep Italian roots, Ambra's artisanal, high-end Italian food without pretense is mindfully translated into every delicious bite of our catering food options.

Every palate is indulged and looked after with an assortment of drink options, from premium Italian vino to classic craft cocktails at the open bar. Pre-Fixe Menu options include multi-course Italian meals that range from the relish-worthy tastes of antipasti Octopus Carpaccio and Housemade Focaccia to classic pizzas like the Margherita and Robiola.

Executive chef John DeLucie's artful mastery of pasta-making also shines with just about every authentic Italian pasta dish you can think of. Then, there's still secondi, contorni, and some delectable signature Italian desserts on the way, with the option of an exclusive Chef's Tasting and more.

A Generous Ambiance

The vibe, as it is often referred to, is mentioned first when someone tells you about an event they attended. In New York, hosting an event requires a versatile space that delicately stirs stylish comfort and drizzles simplistic elegance, all with a slight twist – iconic moments, a backdrop that impresses in the moment and in photos, too.

Italian cuisine was founded around a table, feasting with food options in the company of friends and family, somehow always preparing for the next event or celebration, catering to groups big and small. This spirit is embraced on every plate, every seat, and during each event at Ambra, with seated catering options that can host up to 75 guests and a standing capacity of up to 100 attendees.

Your Event in the Loving Hands of Ambra

And so it seems that a few catering choices can transform events effortlessly, especially in New York – seasoned with a little bit of everything. On a Hudson Street corner in the West Village, oversized front and side glass windows welcome guests upon first sight for every kind of celebration that's just waiting to be had there, with the addition of generous Italian flavor and fare.
