Office Holiday Party Catering

Plan the best office holiday party with a delicious Italian catering menu from everyone’s favorite neighborhood restaurant. The earlier you reach out, the easier it is to lock in your date, customize your menu, and make sure every detail is taken care of.

Bertucci’s Classic Italian Catering Packages feed 8 to 10 people and cover everything from appetizers to oven-baked pastas, signature entrées, our famous brick oven pizzas, and desserts. We also make it easy to accommodate guests with vegetarian or gluten-sensitive dietary preferences.

And don’t forget dessert — no holiday party is complete without a mixed dessert tray, tiramisu, or our crowd-pleasing mini cannolis.

With Bertucci’s Italian Catering, you don’t have to worry about a thing. We provide plastic plates, utensils, and napkins with every order — just let us know you need them when you place your order.

Holiday Group Dining Menus

Hosting a larger group? We make spirits bright with group dining menus designed for parties of 20 or more. Choose from kid-friendly pizza meals, crowd-pleasing baked pastas, and hearty entrées — something for every seat at the table.

Booking is easy online, and our event planners are always happy to answer questions about group holiday menus at any of our Massachusetts locations.

Intimate Holiday Party With Friends and Colleagues

Secret Santas, ugly sweater competitions, catching up over a glass of holiday cheer — Bertucci’s is the perfect backdrop for your smaller holiday gatherings too.

Tips for Stress-Free Office Holiday Party Planning

Pulled the short straw and you’re in charge of office holiday party planning this year? Don’t worry. Here are a few tips to help you pull it off like a pro.

1. Decide on your Holiday Party Budget

Start here before anything else. Your budget will shape your venue, menu, décor, gifts, and entertainment. At Bertucci’s, we work with you to build a menu that fits what you’re working with — and the best part is the event venue is included.

2. Set The Date

Everything else gets planned around the date, so lock it in early. The holidays are busy, and some dates fill up fast — especially at popular Boston-area event venues. A weekday evening is often easier for guests and tends to offer better availability.

3. Determine The Guest List

You don’t need a final count right away, but a ballpark range will help you choose the right space and estimate your per-person budget. Consider whether you’re inviting the whole company or hosting by department, and whether plus-ones or families are included.

Once RSVPs are in, share your final headcount with your caterer or venue. Bertucci’s accommodates groups of all sizes in our semi-private and private dining rooms across Massachusetts.

4. Reserve Your Holiday Event Venue

Event venues fill up quickly during the holiday season — especially in and around Boston. The sooner you reserve your space, the better. Call your local Bertucci’s location or book your event and order catering online.

5. Send Out Your Holiday Party Invite

Once the date and location are confirmed, send a “Save the Date” right away. The holiday season is hectic — give your team at least a month’s notice so they can plan around it.

Follow up with a formal invite about two weeks before the event with all the details: time, location, dress code, and anything else they need to know.

6. Ask About Dietary Restrictions

Collect dietary restrictions and food allergies when you send your invitations — not the week of the party. Share this information with your caterer or venue when finalizing your menu.

At Bertucci’s, we’re happy to accommodate guests with vegetarian or gluten-sensitive preferences, so no one misses out on the feast.

7. Plan Your Menu

Everyone loves classic Italian food — and at Bertucci’s, the menu is the main event. We offer the convenience of event venue and catering all in one, with customizable group holiday menus and affordable packages to choose from.

Beverage packages are also available at select Massachusetts locations.

8. Set the Event Agenda

Decide whether your event will have a structured agenda — end-of-year awards, toasts, presentations — or if it’s a casual come-and-go gathering. This will help you plan how long to reserve the space.

Build in at least 15 minutes for guests to arrive before you sit down or start serving. A welcome cocktail hour is a great way to get things started while you wait for anyone stuck in Boston traffic.

9. Don’t Forget The Gifts

Show your team how much you appreciate them with a gift they’ll actually use. Bertucci’s Gift Cards make a crowd-pleasing choice — because everyone loves great Italian food.
