Want to mix things up with Hartford favorites your guests already rave about? Ask us to build a multi-truck lineup! Pair that Neapolitan pie with crispy chicken sandwiches from Craftbird Food Truck, decadent cupcakes from NoRA Cupcake Company, elevated comfort fare by Bees And Thank you, Caribbean barbecue from The Caribbean Press, or a nostalgic scoop from Tastee-Treats Ice Cream Truck. It’s the easiest way to turn your gathering into a true Hartford street-food festival.
So, if you need reliable, crowd-pleasing Italian cuisine catering in Hartford, choose the local experts who know the Capital City bite for bite. Contact Best Food Trucks today, and we’ll roll in the perfect rig—fresh dough, simmering sauces, and all—to make your next event unforgettable.
Skip the Wait and Savor Your Hartford Celebration
Nothing kills a vibe on Pratt Street or at a Bushnell Park picnic faster than a long food line. That’s why Best Food Trucks pairs our Italian food truck catering in Hartford with a seamless online ordering system. Guests pull out their phones, tap in orders for brick-oven pizza, garlic-knot sliders, or pesto-swirled gnocchi, and then go back to cheering on the Yard Goats or snapping photos in front of the State Capitol. A quick text alert lets them know exactly when their meal is ready—no guessing, no crowding, no cold slices.
Planning a corporate lunch downtown or a wedding at Elizabeth Park Rose Garden? Send your attendees a pre-order link so they can reserve a pickup time before, during, or after the festivities.

There were plenty of olives (the add-on) this time, as a higher concentration of meat, which led to a stronger flavor throughout. Thanks!

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.

- You choose the budget (within our parameters) and we'll find proposals that match that budget. Every proposal we send you will be for your submitted budget.
