Italian Food Truck Catering in Sarasota
Planning a wedding on Siesta Key, a corporate luncheon in Downtown Sarasota, or a family reunion at Bayfront Park? Best Food Trucks is your one-stop solution for authentic Italian food truck catering in Sarasota. Our local team lives and works right here on the Suncoast, so we know exactly which Italian food trucks will wow your guests—whether you’re hosting a dozen coworkers or thousands of hungry snow-birds.
Picture this: hand-tossed Margherita pizza sizzling in a brick-oven on wheels, ribbons of house-made fettuccine tossed with Gulf-fresh shrimp, and the aroma of garlic, basil, and imported Parmigiano drifting across your venue. That’s the magic of an Italian food truck, and it’s why Sarasota event planners keep coming back to us.
Best Food Trucks has spent years curating the largest network of Italian food trucks on Florida’s Cultural Coast. We handle permits, parking logistics, and on-site service so you can relax and enjoy the party. From festivals at Nathan Benderson Park to graduation celebrations at Ringling College, our concierge crew makes Italian food truck catering in Sarasota seamless.
Why choose an Italian food truck over a traditional caterer? Mobility lets us set up almost anywhere—from Lido Beach pavilions to Lakewood Ranch cul-de-sacs—while our open kitchens entertain guests as chefs twirl dough and sauté sauces right before their eyes. It’s fresh, interactive, and unmistakably Sarasota.
And if you’d like to round out your menu, we can easily pair your Italian entrée truck with local favorites: crispy fries from Currywursttruck SRQ, gourmet desserts from Carousels or Sunsets & Sweets, ice-cream creations from Motown Treats LLC, or craft burgers from Tampa Burger Company. With Best Food Trucks, building a multi-truck lineup is as easy as a stroll down St. Armands Circle.
Don’t settle for generic catering. Give your guests the unforgettable taste of Italy—served Sarasota-style—from the area’s best food trucks. Reach out to Best Food Trucks today, and let’s start planning an Italian food truck experience your guests will rave about long after the Gulf Coast sunset.

Well, my husband and I ordered the Italian beef sandwich and it was phenomenal. The crunch on that bread was amazing. Probably the best sandwich I've ever had on Italian beef as a matter of fact, it was the best sandwich ever.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Truck arrived well before the event to prepare. The owners/workers were very friendly as I met them upon arrival. They provided a varied selection of entrees to satisfy everyone's tastes and provided options for those with dietary restrictions. Food was also delicious per the team; I can say the burgers and burritos were a hit.

Despite the fact that the food was fabulous, I will share with everyone I know to never patronize the Smokin' Dough food truck. The person who handed me my order was rude and yelled at me when I asked about the diet cola that I ordered that they were unable to fulfill. They do not understand customer service, and when I shared that I wouldn't be coming back, she seemed gleeful at that prospect. Smokin' Dough is not an inexpensive food truck and I had even left a 10% tip when I placed the order online. That was a huge mistake.

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!

Customer service, the food, the atmosphere. They stayed during a storm, on top of all that did I say the food was great? Because it's soo good!

I ordered cauliflower crust but I don't think that's what I got. Just an intolerance to gluten so no issue...but really wanted to try the cauliflower

The pizza is delicious. But I asked for arugula on it and paid extra. They didn't put any arugula on it.
