At Fritto, food is our way of sharing joy.
We bring the flavours of Italy to weddings, events and corporate gatherings, with dishes rooted in tradition and made with genuine care. Our menus are flexible, our service is warm, and every event is an opportunity to celebrate good food and good company.
It’s our passion for cooking, heritage and hospitality — shared with you.
We’re taking a short pause from catering.
Fritto will not be taking bookings for the 2026–27 season as we upgrade our facilities and prepare for the next chapter.
In the meantime, our focus turns to our artisan gelato — Cuore di Gelato — bringing handcrafted Italian gelato to weddings and events.
Still planning a wedding or event?
Our artisan gelato cart is available and ready to be part of your celebration.
