AMARANTO WEDDINGS
Italian cuisine is our speciality. Our kitchen is a medley of recipes from Piemonte, Marche and Campania. We use free range and organic ingredients, Italian where available to keep the flavors as authentic as possible. Did we mention all our menu is gluten free? Amaranto is not a classic food truck nor just a catering. Our vintage caravan is a fully equipped kitchen on wheels: we cook our pasta at the moment, no matter what the location or the type of event. We can set up almost anywhere, as long as there is a flat spot and enough space for us to manouver the truck in position.We can provide different services, from a classic Italian long lunch with multiple courses to a food truck style with an Italian street food service and the option to choose between a sit down meal with sharing platter or pick up the food from the truck. We can also set up an antipasto table and desserts. We are available for travel between Auckland and Whangarei.
COCKTAIL HOUR
Cocktail hour is where the magic begins! After saying your vows, your guests can unwind with drinks in hand, ready to celebrate. Our Italian canapés are the perfect start, whether passed around or displayed on a beautiful antipasto table.
Since cocktail hour often overlaps with photo time for the newlyweds, we’d be happy to prepare a special picnic basket for you to enjoy while you’re away, so you don’t miss out on any of the fun!
THE RECEPTION
If you prefer a more intimate setting, family-style dining with shared plates is a great option, or, for a quicker service, a buffet might be the best fit.
Please note that our pasta dishes are cooked fresh on the spot, so we recommend discussing timing with us while planning your schedule.
DESSERTS
Nothing wraps up a great party like a delicious dessert! We offer a selection of tiramisù, panna cotta, and chocolate hazelnut mousse. Choose your favorite or mix and match for the perfect sweet ending!
PLATES AND CUTLERY
All of our disposable plates and cutlery are compostable and environmentally friendly, but we’re also happy to use any crockery and cutlery you’ve hired. If you need recommendations, we can suggest a few fantastic vendors for rentals.
If you’re planning a family-style dinner, we offer sharing platters, pasta bowls, salad bowls, and serveware for hire to complete your setup.
A huge thak you to Luisa and Tommaso for the beautiful day and delicious canapés. We didn’t get to try them all but we had so many comments, and even a couple of query from some of our guests. This was definetely a highlight of our day

Lily&Dylan
Luisa and Tommaso you made our reception so special and we can’t describe how much we loved having you there. I had complete peace of mind not having to worry about my allergy at all, while still having delicious food. Honestly my brother in law didn’t even realise the pasta was gluten free until he saw me eating it and thought wow what?! He thought it tasted too good to be gluten free! Also my mum keeps saying that you made the BEST salad she’s ever had. Choosing Amaranto to cater our weding was the first thing we decided on for our wedding planning and goodness was the best decision we made! You were also so lovely to communicate with and made everything easy for us (except that there were soooo many delicious options to choose from).
Thank you!
Johanna and Richard
Amazing food! Amaranto catered for our wedding along with another food truck and they created the most fabulous table of plenty at our wedding which had all the guests talking about how good the food was.
Thank you so much, we can’t wait to visit your truck again.
