Why choose an Italian food truck over traditional catering? Flexibility, speed, and that unmistakable food-truck vibe that turns any gathering into a Silicon Valley street-fair. Picture friends mingling in San Pedro Square while twirling forkfuls of creamy fettuccine alfredo or biting into a crispy Margherita slice drizzled with basil oilâno chafing dishes required.

- Curveball brings American comfort classicsâperfect sliders and garlic fries pair beautifully with a caprese panini.

- Akita Sushi adds a fusion twist for guests craving Japanese bites alongside their bruschetta.

The sauce was just the right amount of sweet, the combination of the crispy crust and warm melted cheese was perfect and the pepperoni added a nice spice to round it out. đyum

I ordered the Lemonade cupcake. I loved the balance between the sweet of the icing and the sour of the lemon! It was so delicious!!!
