Catering

Porano’s catering brings bold, fast Italian flavors to your next event with ease. Perfect for office lunches, casual celebrations, and group meals, our curated pasta bowls and fresh sides are designed for stress-free planning and flavorful results. Delivery and pickup available.

  • At Porano, we believe catering shouldn’t be a compromise. Our team puts care and time into everything we serve—from slow-simmered sauces and freshly roasted vegetables to warm focaccia and handmade pasta. Whether you’re feeding 10 or 100, our goal is simple: bold flavors, easy ordering, and food that arrives just as good as it is in-house.

  • Our buffet orders are available in half pans (serves 8–10) or full pans (serves 15–18), with options for bowls, salads, snacks, and desserts.
    Boxed lunches include a half order of foccacia bread and a cookie.
    Compostable utensils and napkins are available upon request. Plates and additional serviceware can also be added — just let us know when ordering.

  • Place your catering order directly through eatporano.com, or reach out via phone or email if you have questions or special requests.
    Please place your order at least 24 hours in advance.
    Delivery is available upon request — please inquire when ordering.
