Italian Indulgence

At Italian Indulgence, we create sociable Italian food and wine experiences designed to bring guests together and give them something memorable to share.

Our Italian Aperitivo Experience combines carefully presented regional Italian cheeses and cured meats, many of which are difficult to find in the UK, with small Italian bites and accompaniments selected around your occasion.

At the heart of the experience are two wines available exclusively through Italian Indulgence in the UK. Cortese Frizzante is a lightly sparkling Italian white wine, ideal for aperitivo, while Malvasia di Casorzo DOC is a sweet sparkling red wine, served chilled and particularly suited to dessert. Together, they give hosts a genuine talking point and offer guests something they are unlikely to encounter at another wedding, party or corporate event.

Our Live Cannoli Experience adds an interactive finishing touch. Cannoli are filled fresh to order with imported ricotta, either from a dedicated live station or through a roaming service, depending on the venue and event. We can also create a dessert display featuring cannoli, aragostine and seasonal Italian pastries.

We tailor the format to your occasion while preserving the warmth, generosity and regional character of Italian hospitality. Wine can be removed if alcohol is not required.

I started Italian Indulgence because I wanted to share a broader and more personal experience of Italy.

I wanted Italians living in the UK to be able to rediscover flavours connected to their own regions, rather than only the Italian products that are easiest to find. I also wanted people discovering Italian food to experience the different flavours, traditions and culinary cultures found across the whole country.

Another important part of our journey has been supporting small, quality-focused producers whose products and wines rarely reach the UK simply because they do not have the resources or connections to export them. Italian Indulgence became a bridge between those producers and customers here, eventually enabling us to bring previously unavailable wines to the UK as their exclusive importer.

For us, Italian food has never been only about pizza and pasta. It is about gathering around a table, sharing stories and traditions, spending time with family and friends, welcoming new people and creating a genuine sense of community through food.

My partner, Noelle, has been by my side throughout this journey. Together, we have turned the original idea behind Italian Indulgence into the warm, personal experiences we now share with our guests.

I bring 25 years of experience in events, developed across Italy, France, Spain and the UK. During my career, I have worked as an Event Director and Head of Events, as well as across sales, partnerships and business development.

This experience has taught me that a successful event is not only about what guests are served. It depends on careful planning, clear communication, attention to detail and the ability to understand what the client wants people to feel and remember.

Noelle brings hands-on experience from working in corporate catering at the London offices of a major global healthcare company. Her understanding of professional service, organisation and guest care complements my events background and plays an important part in the way we work together.

Through Italian Indulgence, we bring this combined experience to private celebrations, corporate occasions and community events, adapting our approach to the setting while maintaining the same personal care and attention.

Our clients include private hosts, families, businesses, care homes, sports clubs, sponsors and event organisers looking for warm, personal catering with a distinctive Italian character.

We provide our services for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and other family celebrations, as well as corporate occasions, office lunches, sponsor hospitality, Christmas catering, food festivals and special events.

Our corporate work has included an office lunch service for Majestic Wine and catering for Ducati, including its centenary celebration in Watford. We also work within the food and hospitality operations of football and rugby clubs, providing sponsor breakfasts, Italian aperitivo experiences and corporate catering for sponsors and their guests. Italian Indulgence is also featured in the St Albans City Football Club sponsorship brochure as a catering option for sponsors.

We have also delivered Christmas catering for care homes, where thoughtful service, reliability and attention to guests are especially important.

Whether we are supporting a private celebration, a workplace occasion, sponsor hospitality or a public event, our clients typically want more than a standard buffet. They value quality, authenticity and food that becomes part of the occasion: something guests can discover, talk about and enjoy together, from a sociable Italian aperitivo to cannoli filled fresh in front of them.

We hold Public Liability Insurance with cover of up to £10 million. Both Davide and Noelle hold food hygiene and food safety certificates, and Davide also holds a Personal Licence for the sale of alcohol.

Where alcohol is included in an event, it is supplied and served in accordance with the applicable venue licence or Temporary Event Notice requirements.
