In Italy, antipasto is more than food served before the meal.
It is the moment people drift toward the table, pour a drink, start talking and begin to settle into the occasion. Before the pizza, before the main event, there is time to share.
There is an Italian saying behind the way we think about antipasto: first, you eat with your eyes.
A beautiful antipasti spread should feel generous, colourful and inviting. Cheese, cured meats, vegetables, olives, fruit, bread and little savoury bites all have their place, but the point is not to overload the table.
The point is to make people want to gather around it.
Antipasto is naturally social. Nobody needs their own plate arranged in a perfect line. Guests reach in, taste something, offer something to the person beside them and keep the conversation going.
That relaxed style suits Pizza Picchio because it is exactly how we like people to enjoy our food: together.
Our antipasti are designed to complement the pizza rather than compete with it.
For weddings, corporate events and private celebrations across Sydney, they create a beautiful beginning before the mobile pizzeria gets into full swing.
Our Antipasti e Sfizi can be added to your pizza catering when you want the event to feel a little more like an Italian table from the very first bite.
For us, antipasto is not about formality. It is about hospitality — accoglienza — making people feel welcome the moment they arrive.
If you are planning a Sydney event, send us your date, location and guest numbers and we can talk through the best way to build your catering.
Buon appetito.
