Italian Food Truck Catering in Charleston
Planning a wedding on the Battery, a corporate luncheon on King Street, or a backyard oyster roast in West Ashley? Level up the menu with authentic Italian food truck catering in Charleston from Best Food Trucks. We live and breathe Lowcountry hospitality, and we know how to match your event with the perfect rolling kitchen.
Italian food is already a crowd-pleaser, but when it rolls up in a brightly painted truck, it becomes an experience. Picture guests sipping sweet tea while they watch hand-tossed dough fly at Chow Bella, or hear the crackle of a wood-fired oven inside Benito's Rolling Oven. From pillowy gnocchi to blistered Neapolitan pies, Charleston’s Italian food trucks bring the aromas of Tuscany straight to the Holy City breeze.
Our local lineup also includes the flame-kissed specialties of Mastro's Fire, where smoky marinara and charred veggies meet crisped-to-perfection ciabatta. Whether you’re hosting 30 colleagues at a tech meetup in North Charleston or 300 guests at a Folly Beach destination wedding, Best Food Trucks will handle the scheduling, permits, and onsite service so you can enjoy the party.
Why book Italian cuisine from a food truck? Convenience, of course, but also flexibility. Want classic margherita for the kids and spicy Calabrian sausage for the grown-ups? No problem. Need gluten-free penne or vegan pesto? Our Charleston food truck partners can customize the menu on the spot.
And if your crowd craves a global twist after the pasta course, we can easily add trucks like Papá Grande Comfort for Southern-style empanadas or Roe Roe's for Filipino & Polynesian bites. One call, one contract, endless flavor.
Don’t settle for generic catering trays. Treat your guests to the sights, sounds, and smells of live cooking with Italian food truck catering in Charleston. Contact Best Food Trucks today, and we’ll park Charleston’s best Italian kitchens right at your curb.

Tasty sandwich and soup. I pre ordered and received an email they would try to accommodate my scheduled pickup and was expecting a text when the order was ready but didn’t receive one. Upon going to the truck my order was handed to me immediately however.
