In 1952, Larry and Vera Gaudio, our grandparents and the founders of LaVera Party Center, launched a catering business that quickly became known for its homemade Italian cuisine. They were committed to using only the finest ingredients, crafting every dish with care. Today, three generations later, we’re proud to continue their legacy, serving up the same timeless recipes with the same dedication to quality.

We are Cleveland’s premier off-premise catering company! With over 30 years of experience catering events in Northeast Ohio, our team is dedicated to providing flawless service and unforgettable memories.

Over 35 years of Catering Excellence. We are not a pizza shop. We are not a restaurant. We are Caterers. Full service Caterers.
