Common questions
How far in advance should I contact Buona Tavola for my event?
Since they're closed Mondays and operate on a custom-quote basis, contacting them 4-6 weeks ahead is practical for popular dates, especially if your event falls on a weekend. Earlier contact ensures menu development time and availability confirmation without last-minute coordination stress.
What's the typical process for getting a catering quote in Florence?
Most Florence catering vendors, including Buona Tavola, require direct contact to discuss guest count, menu preferences, and venue setup before providing pricing. Call +39 055 713 1853 or visit their website with your event details to receive a customized proposal rather than standard price lists.
Can they accommodate events at my specific Florence venue, or do they have limitations?
This varies by venue type and setup requirements. Confirm with Buona Tavola whether your venue has kitchen access, if they provide on-site staffing and service, and any logistics considerations for your location. Some venues have preferred vendor lists or space constraints affecting catering operations.
Are dietary restrictions and cultural menu customization standard services?
Most established Florence caterers handle dietary needs, but specifications and accommodations depend on your requirements. When contacting Buona Tavola, clearly outline vegetarian, vegan, allergies, halal, kosher, or other preferences so they can confirm feasibility and adjust pricing accordingly.
What's included in typical catering packages versus add-on costs?
Inclusions vary significantly—some packages include staffing and setup while others are food-only. Ask Buona Tavola specifically about table service, bartender fees, linen and tableware rentals, setup/breakdown time, and whether gratuity is calculated separately from food costs.
How do Florence caterers handle wine and beverage service?
Confirm whether Buona Tavola provides beverages or if you source wine separately. Some caterers include house wine selections while others charge per bottle. Clarify bar setup, glassware provision, and whether beverage costs are included in their quote or itemized separately.
