Casa Chiaia Catering

At Casa Chiaia, we bring the flavours of Southern Italy to your table. Our cooking is inspired by Chiaia, one of Naples' most loved neighbourhoods, where food is generous, seasonal and made to be shared.

We offer private dining and party catering across Wandsworth and the surrounding areas of London. Whether it's an intimate dinner at home, a birthday, a family celebration or a gathering with friends, we take care of the food so you can enjoy the occasion with your guests.

Our menus draw on classic Neapolitan cooking: pasta from Gragnano, slow-cooked sauces, fresh seafood, and the simple, honest dishes that Southern Italian families have cooked for generations. We also love creating bespoke menus, so if you have a favourite dish, a dietary need or a particular theme in mind, we'll design something around you.

Casa Chiaia brings together two people, two food cultures and one shared belief: food is how we show love.

For Valentino, the story began in a sun-drenched kitchen in Chiaia, Naples. As a curious young boy, he watched his mother cook traditional Neapolitan recipes and pretended to be her sous chef, perched at the kitchen counter. It was there he learned that good food is only as good as the love that goes into it. He grew up surrounded by the flavours and scents of Southern Italy: the bright aroma of lemon groves and the deep sweetness of tomatoes ripening on the vine in the sun.

For Ting, it began in a Chinese family where food brought everyone together, and love was shared around the table. Her father sold fresh seafood, so from a young age she knew what truly good ingredients looked, smelled and tasted like. That early appreciation for quality ingredients and well-made food stayed with her, growing into a lifelong love of cooking and baking, and of feeding the people around her.

Those early lessons led us both into hospitality, where we learned that a great meal is about more than the food on the plate. It's the welcome at the door, the care in every detail, and making sure each guest feels looked after from start to finish. Working in hospitality taught us how to plan and run an event smoothly, how to read a room, and how to adapt to each host's needs so they can relax and enjoy their own occasion.

Casa Chiaia is where all of this comes together. We bring the warmth of a Neapolitan table straight to your home or celebration, cooked with the same care Valentino learned in his mother's kitchen, the same respect for ingredients Ting grew up with, and the attentive service our hospitality experience has taught us.

What inspires us is simple: the moment everyone sits down, the first dishes arrive, and the conversation gets louder. That's what we cook for.

Our clients are as varied as the occasions we cater for. Some invite us into their homes for a special dinner with family and friends, while others book us for professional events, from institutes to the NHS. We're just as happy creating an intimate candlelit meal for two as we are feeding a crowd of 100 guests or more at a party or celebration. Whatever the size or setting, every menu is designed around you and your guests, and every event gets the same care and attention to detail.
