Italian Food Truck Catering in Boston
Planning an office outing in the Seaport, a graduation party in Brighton, or a tailgate outside Fenway? Best Food Trucks is Boston’s go-to marketplace for authentic Italian food truck catering. From the North End to Dorchester, we connect you with mobile kitchens that turn classic Italian recipes into hot, fresh street eats your guests will rave about.
Think hand-tossed, brick-oven Margherita pizza, creamy bowls of cacio e pepe, or chicken parm subs that would make Nonna proud. Your guests can grab a plate, chat, and enjoy that salty Atlantic breeze—no plating crew or indoor kitchen required. That’s the beauty of hiring an Italian food truck in Boston: restaurant-quality food meets wicked easy logistics.
Our local vendor network stretches from Somerville to Quincy, so whether you’re feeding 30 coworkers or 3,000 race-day fans, we’ll slot in the right truck, generator, permits, and service crew. Need dessert after all that pasta? We can even pair your Italian main course with Boston favorites like The Whoo(pie) Wagon or Papi's Stuffed Sopapillas for a sweet finish.
Looking to add a little Southern soul or smokehouse flair beside your tortellini bar? Check out Butter "UR" Biscuit, Mr. Gourmet Sausage Specialist, or Reds Street Kitchen. Our platform lets you build a multi-truck lineup so every Bostonian—from Southie to Cambridge—gets exactly what they’re craving.

It was so fun having the truck at our wedding! The truck arrived on time, people were served quickly, and the person working the truck was so kind and accommodating. We loved taking photos with the truck with our photographer and we got sent with lots of leftovers at the end of the night. All our guests continue to rave about the ice cream sandwiches!

Papi’s catered my daughter’s high school graduation party. They were such a huge hit! The adults, the teenagers and all the kids kept raving about how delicious everything was. They had a great variety to choose from…something for everyone. Even the pickiest eater loved them. And it was a different and unique food truck option, something more fun than your average food truck. I wholeheartedly recommend them for your next party. I’m still getting texts from family and friends talking about the food. They were amazing!!!

My family and I love these whoopie pies and all the varieties! If you could find a food truck pick up spot closer to Exeter/Portsmouth we would love them even more!

Very friendly gentleman! The whoopie pies were great!! I plan on ordering some to send down south to my daughter in college. Her friends have never had Whoopie pies so I'm going to send them the mini ones. They'll love them. How would I go about doing that?

I preordered and it was simple to grab my order. I do think there needs to be more than one person in the truck however.
