EthiCatering

EthiCatering builds its offer around sustainability: organic, locally sourced (km 0) produce, ingredients from Economia Carceraria, the network of prison-run food producers, and partnerships with Libera Terra and social cooperatives. According to its website the service is plastic-free, uses compostable tableware and solar power, and surplus food goes to charities. The menu leans towards vegetarian and vegan dishes, with attention to allergies and intolerances. For banqueting and staff it works with Magnolia Eventi; the venues it suggests include Parco Iris on the Appia Antica, La Seminatrice and Giardino L'Olivella.

It is worth considering for a wedding or a corporate event where the supply chain and environmental impact matter as much as the menu, or when many guests follow a vegetarian or vegan diet. If the social side interests you too, ask how the training and job-placement project the caterer says it runs actually works.
