Top 7 Reasons to Use Rino’s Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria Catering

What do an impressive presentation of trays and platters stuffed with steaming hot, freshly made food and boxed lunches busting with creative sandwiches on homemade breads with generous sides have in common? Both—and every catering need in between—are available through Rino’s Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria’s catering service.

We caught up with Chef Matt Florentine and Rino’s co-owners Lance and Jules Shortt to get the delicious 411 about on- and off-site catering for every occasion, from a small lunch to-go for 10 to a 200-person party at the restaurant.

“Rino’s is flexible catering at an affordable price—quick and easy for you,” Lance emphasized, of his restaurant’s long history of serving just what the customer needs. “We take the headache and hassle out of events and gatherings.”

Chef Matt concurred and added, “Catering is fun. We love the challenge of meeting—and exceeding—your expectations, no matter the size of the event, here or at your place.”

Scope out these top reasons to cater from Rino’s, and give Jules a call today to get started.

1. Hassle-Free Business Catering

You probably don’t cook for a living, which is why you’re calling Rino’s—and they’ve got you covered. The drool-worthy catering menu is vast, but Jules says those are suggestions: Rino’s is perfectly happy to customize for off-site events from 10 to 500. Think business lunch, corporate dinner, business retreat, power meetings, presentations, holiday parties—you dream it up, Rino’s cooks it up. Catering starts at $10.95 per person and could include signature meatballs, penne, garden salad, bread, cannoli cookie, drinks and all disposable serveware delivered to your door.

2. Customized Boxed Lunches

Forget every other boxed lunch you’ve ever had, because with Chef Matt at the helm, boxed lunches have taken a big step up. How about tavern ham, cucumber and arugula on homemade bread, with a homemade side and homemade chips? Did we mention “homemade”? Add in a gooey cookie and bottled water—starting at $9.95 per person. Like all Rino’s catering, customized orders are welcomed.

3. Big Family Meals To-Go

Suppose you’re having a family gathering, and you either don’t have the time or the inclination (or both!) to cook. Rino’s shines in this scenario, making you the homefront hero with a complete dinner to-go. Grab an entrée or two, potatoes, veggies, salad, bread, drinks, cookies—what’s your pleasure? Check out the restaurant menu and give a call to discuss how your budget can turn into an applause-worthy meal.

4. Special Menus-R-Us

Bring on the dietary restrictions and religious needs; no problem at Rino’s. Chef Matt will work with you to fashion a feast that everyone can enjoy.

5. Short Notice Is No Problem

Would Rino’s like three days’ notice? Sure. In a pinch? Call. The family-run restaurant’s hallmark—aside from fantastic food—is service. You’re treated like family when you walk in the door, and sometimes family just shows up. Give Rino’s a ring and see what magic Chef Matt has up his sleeve for your corporate or private event.

6. Free Delivery

With a little notice (and that’s flexible, just like the menu), Rino’s will deliver your catered meal from Coatesville to King of Prussia. Somewhere else? Ask.

7. No Room Charge at Rino’s

Spend your corporate or private party budget on freshly made food, not the space where you’re eating it. There’s never a room charge at Rino’s, which can hold 40 in the back room, 75 downstairs and up to 220 in the entire restaurant. You’ll find business referral group meetings, bridal and baby showers, birthday parties, rehearsal dinners, company parties and other events of all sizes at Rino’s. On-site catering starts at $9.95 per person.
