What planners usually like:

- Flexible consultation availability during standard business hours (Monday-Friday, 9:30 AM-6:00 PM) allowing detailed menu planning and logistical discussions

Things to clarify before booking:
- Confirm whether pricing includes service staff, bar setup, linens, and equipment rental, or if these are separate line items requiring additional vendors
- Verify minimum guest count requirements and whether they accommodate smaller, more intimate events or focus primarily on larger gatherings
- Establish delivery and setup timelines, particularly for weekend or evening events, since they operate Monday-Friday business hours
- Ask about menu customization flexibility, dietary accommodation capacity (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, allergen-specific), and whether they offer tasting sessions before finalizing menus
Common questions
Does Tuscan Excelsia work with events outside their standard Monday-Friday hours?
Based on their listed business hours (closed Saturday-Sunday), you'll need to contact them directly at +39 055 226 0126 to discuss weekend event availability. Many Florence caterers can arrange special scheduling for significant events, but this may involve premium fees or require early confirmation.
Can they accommodate large corporate events or conferences with multiple meal services?
Their experience working with local event organizers suggests capability for substantial events, but you should discuss specific guest counts and multi-day requirements during your consultation. Ask about their kitchen capacity, staffing availability, and whether they've handled similar-sized conferences.
What's included in their catering packages, and how do they structure pricing?
Since pricing requires contact, call +39 055 226 0126 to understand whether quotes cover food only, service staff, rentals, and beverages. Get itemized breakdowns so you can compare against other vendors and identify where additional costs may arise.
Are they experienced with dietary restrictions and international cuisine preferences?
While Tuscan Excelsia is rooted in local cuisine, ask specifically about their experience accommodating vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and allergen-specific diets. Also inquire if they can incorporate non-Italian preferences or fusion elements if your guest list is internationally diverse.
How far in advance should we book, and what's their typical turnaround for menu proposals?
Contact them directly about their booking calendar and proposal timeline. Given their Florence location and local reputation, peak seasons (spring/fall weddings, summer events) likely require 2-3 months advance booking, but confirm their specific policies.
Can they provide references from recent events, and do they offer menu tastings?
Ask for a client list or case studies of recent events similar in size/type to yours. Inquire whether tastings are complimentary or paid, and at what stage in the booking process they accommodate this—this helps you finalize menu selections with confidence.
