The Heart Behind Panza Piena, Sara Sidari
Being an owner, artist and influencer in Melbourne is never simple, but leading with heart shapes all that I do. I built Panza Piena to bring my love of design, culture and food together, and it has grown into the best Italian catering in Hawthorn and a brand Melbourne loves.
In our warm Italian home, food was how we stayed close, and that spirit lives on in Panza Piena. We bring authentic flavours, beautiful styling and moments that last. Every bite tells a story, and sharing mine with you means so much.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
A Panza Party brings everything together under one service, including our in-house graphic designers and calligraphers, Italian ceramic hire, event styling, floristry, live chef catering, and waiter and waitress hire. Six different crafts, one point of contact, the paperwork and calligraphy, the tableware, the flowers, the kitchen and the floor staff all coordinated for you. Since the chefs cook right there at your event, the Italian food lands fresh in front of guests, and none of the surrounding organisation ever becomes your problem to solve.
-
Yes. Our chefs are happy to design a bespoke catering menu around your tastes, theme, or dietary needs, all part of the best Italian catering in Hawthorn. Point them toward what you're after, and they'll shape the courses to match it. The building blocks hold steady, local produce, recipes passed down the family, a creative hand in the kitchen, while the final line-up bends to your occasion and whatever you're comfortable spending.
-
We cater for gatherings of every size. Send us your details, and we will put together a tailored quote. There's no threshold to clear first, so an intimate group is as straightforward for us as a large one. Planning something smaller and simpler? Our Mid-Week Mini Catering keeps the flavour authentic on a pared-back scale. Give us the outline, and pricing comes back to fit it.
-
Yes. Our team handles planning and coordination from the first idea to the final detail, keeping your event smooth and stress-free. We stay across the styling, the decor, the lighting and the timing of service, making sure the pieces slot together instead of clashing. The organising that usually lands on a host sits with us the whole way, which is what turns a busy lead-up into something far more manageable.

For now, our work centres on Melbourne, reaching from the CBD through the inner east and the wider suburban belt. If you're unsure whether your address is covered, the fastest answer is to send your location and date over and let us check it for you.
