Natalizi Catering

Natalizi has been in business since 1921 and is run by the third generation of the family. It began as a pastry shop and today provides catering and banqueting for weddings, gala evenings and small dinners at home, and states that it works in Italy and abroad. The website publishes a long list of venues where it operates, including Villa Aurelia, Palazzo Colonna, Castello Odescalchi in Bracciano and several villas and farmhouses around Rome. It also sets out policies and certifications on quality, workplace safety, the environment and gender equality.

Useful if you have already chosen a villa, a castle or a historic palazzo and want to know whether the caterer has worked there before. Its roots in pastry also make it interesting if the desserts and the cake matter to you.
