Cardona’s Market invites its guests to spend more time with family and friends and less time in the kitchen this holiday season with special heat-and-serve catering options. The family-owned, Italian specialty market and caterer is offering all-inclusive and à la carte menu options for celebrations of all sizes.
New this year, Cardona’s has created four all-inclusive dinner party packages for the December holiday season.
“The holidays are about spending time with loved ones, and so often those special moments are interrupted by time spent in the kitchen,” said Cardona’s Co-Owner and Executive Chef Robert Cardona Jr. “As a family-owned business, we know how important those moments are, and we’re offering our customers a delicious solution. Let Cardona’s set your table this holiday season so you can spend less time in the kitchen and more time with friends and family.”
The Holiday Appetizer Package features half pans of Cardona’s meatballs, arancini with marinara and antipasti salad and a small shrimp cocktail for $215. The Holiday Platter Package comes with antipasti, caprese, shrimp cocktail and dessert platters and serves six to eight people for $195.
Customers can also choose between a small and large Holiday Dinner Package. Serving 12 to 15 people, the smaller package includes half pans of Cardona’s meatballs, lasagna and garden salad, a medium antipasti platter and Italian bread for $275. Serving 24 to 30 people, the larger package includes full pans of Cardona’s meatballs, lasagna and garden salad, a large antipasti platter and Italian bread for $485.
Additionally, Cardona’s is offering à la carte menu options in half- and full-pan or small, medium and large sizes. Offerings include a variety of appetizers, specialty platters, sides and sandwiches; various salads and pasta dishes; Cardona’s classics, including eggplant parm, lasagna, stuffed shells and meatballs; chicken, beef and seafood entrées; and dessert platters featuring brownies, cookies, cannoli and more. Homemade pies and cakes are also available.
