Red like tomato sauce and green like basil, nothing says warmth and celebration like Italian food…just like Nonna used to make. “Your family and friends can enjoy meals made from my Sicilian grandmother Mama Lomonte’s recipes, brought from her home in Licata, Sicily,” says Braden Lomonte of Lomonte’s Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria. “Whether you bring the party to us or we bring the food to you, we believe in sharing good times and good meals!”

Your guests won’t have to be urged to Mangia, Mangia (eat, eat), when Lomonte’s handles the catering. Mouthwatering homemade lasagna, St. Louis-style house salad featuring artichoke hearts and hearts of palm, or chicken marsala are always crowd-pleasers. Have an intimate gathering in Lomonte’s bar or on the heated patio…or invite Lomonte’s to cater a party at any location you choose. Braden says, “We do it all…in-house or off-site for corporate events, school celebrations, weddings and more for guest lists ranging from 10 to 1000. I’ve always thought that hearty Southern Italian food is the perfect choice for cold weather and happy holidays.”

Chef Jason aka “J.T.” says, “At Lomonte’s, we’ll cater your special event…but we like to think we cater to each and every one of our customers every time. Listening to what you want is part of being your neighborhood restaurant. That’s why we’ve added to our menu a grilled vegetable lasagna that’s gluten-free. We know there are increasing numbers of people who are gluten-sensitive or who have celiac disease and we want you to feel comfortable enjoying our food. We also offer delicious antipasta, meat, cheese and fruit platters. Call and we’ll have them ready for you to grab and go!”

Share a deep dish Sicilian pizza in Lomonte’s cozy dining room, Fettuccine Alfredo at home with your family, or a full-on Italian feast with friends, neighbors, and relatives…and don’t forget to call for some Cannoli to-go before heading out to your next holiday event. “Drop by anytime,” says Braden. “We’re looking forward to celebrating the holidays with you!”
