Italian-Inspired Catering for Orange County Events

The Taste of Italy Menu from California Fresh Catering brings together familiar Italian-inspired flavors for weddings, private celebrations, company gatherings, and other catered events throughout Orange County. With chicken, seafood, beef, and pasta-friendly selections, this menu offers hosts a flexible way to create a meal that feels warm, generous, and suited to a wide range of event styles.

Chicken, Seafood and Beef Entrée Selections

Entrée choices include chicken Parmesan with house marinara and melted mozzarella, rosemary garlic chicken, Parmesan-crusted chicken, chicken Marsala, and chicken piccata. Seafood options include Parmesan-crusted cod with lemon butter sauce, pan-seared cod with white wine tomato basil sauce, and shrimp scampi sautéed with garlic, butter, and lemon. Guests seeking a richer entrée may also consider Chianti-braised beef prepared osso buco style or jumbo meatball Parmesan with marinara and mozzarella.

The menu includes an artisan fresh-baked bread display with sweet butter and allows hosts to select two entrées. This creates an opportunity to pair a lighter chicken or seafood dish with a more robust beef selection, giving guests variety without making the meal feel overly complicated. The Taste of Italy Menu may be especially well suited for evening receptions, vineyard celebrations, family-style gatherings, and events where comforting flavors and polished presentation are both important.

Jayme and the Cal Fresh team absolutely knocked it out of the park for our wedding at Casino San Clemente. We were already impressed at our tasting, but admittedly a bit skeptical about whether they could deliver that same quality for 165 guests. They exceeded every expectation.

My God, where do I even begin? We went with them because of how easy the quote process was before we even tried their food. Our tasting was amazing, and they even added two extra meals for us to try that we ended up using on the night of our wedding.

Along the way, Jayme worked with me on absolutely everything. She was flexible and warm, and anything that came up during our wedding for 120 guests, she found a solution. The guests raved about the food—it was delicious.

Using them was such a great decision. If you want flexible, amazing catering for your wedding, I highly recommend Jayme and her crew.

Hands down the most incredible hidden gem of a caterer! Very reasonable prices and exceptional service. You do not see them advertising—it is all word of mouth—and I am thankful I discovered them for my events.

We plan 10–12 events a year, typically with 75–100 guests, and 150–200 at the larger events. I have stopped even looking at the menu proposal because I know everything they create is amazing.

They have prepared food for my small events and large, and every time it is flawless. Their coordinator is on site for the event and operates under the radar of guests. They make sure to check in with you, and it really feels like they look after you too.

They offer bar service as well, and every bartender they hire is personable, funny, and very popular with our guests. The servers are professional and charming and really know how to move through a room.

I have never had a guest tell me they did not receive a tray-passed appetizer or had not seen a server. Some of our event sponsors have gone on to book California Fresh for their own events. I think that is a good sign that we made a great choice in partnerships.
