Bring la dolce vita to your organization

Transform team-building with our uniquely Italiano corporate experiences. We will customize your experience just for you, but here are some ideas to kick off your brainstorming!

  • Your team will have an unforgettable time cooking and playing with our chefs, getting engaged in a fun culinary journey. This activity is like a 4-course lunch or dinner: we begin with welcome appetizers so we can get to know each other, then we will wear aprons and start to prep and cook two main dishes together. At the end, we will serve one of our signature desserts.

“A phenomenal experience from start to finish! I took my team of 14 people for a company offsite and working with the staff at Cucina Migrante was one of the easiest customer service experiences I've ever had. Communication was quick, pricing was fair, the boat was pristine, and the service was impeccable. Thank you for making the whole experience stress free.”

- Deborah Appel

  • Sì, totalmente. We can accommodate any restrictions, preferences, or allergies (gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan, nut-free, etc.)

  • If you’d like!  Drinks (including wine, beer, spirits, and non-alcoholic beverages) can be included in your booking. 

    You can also upgrade the experience with our exclusive wine tastings

  • It's simple! Here's our process:

    1. We confirm availability and provide an overview via email.

    2. We send an invoice with an estimate.

    3. You pay a small deposit to secure the date.

    4. We finalize location and menu details.

    5. Five days before: confirm final guest count so we can adjust the invoice, confirm all allergies/restrictions and menu. 

    6. The final payment can be handled after the event. 

    Pronto! You're all set for your Cucina Migrante experience!

  • We can create pop-up Italian/Sicilian/Mediterranean food and wine experiences at your event! 

    We love to make food from scratch and entertain your guests with our cooking so don't think of us as a “'traditional off-site catering company.”

  • It depends, but usually about 3 hours!

  • Truly whatever works for you! We can accommodate small and large groups, anywhere from 6 to 100 people.

  • We’re glad you asked, amico!

    1. Our commitment to quality using premium ingredients (local or imported from Europe) and fresh ones from local farmers and vendors. 

    2. Uniquely designed around you. In fact, each event is created listening to your needs and vision. The menu is a unique journey of flavors designed around your allergies, dietary restrictions, and possibly food desires. 

    3. Food storytelling. Culinary storytelling transforms our dinners and cooking classes into chapters of a greater narrative. You will enjoy a fusion of language, flavors, and visuals in the form of a comprehensive experience. Your guests will leave with many memories and stories to share.

“Chef Francesco and Adisa were wonderful hosts for my group of top performing managers as a reward. We had a relaxing and fun evening making fresh pasta, drinking wine and laughing. I highly recommend this as a refreshing alternative to a dinner at a noisy restaurant.”
