5 wedding food ideas your guests will love for a wedding in Italy
Give your guests a delicious wedding lunch with these 5 wedding Italian food ideas that will inspire you.
When it comes to deciding what kind of menu you want for your wedding, you have to consider a huge amount of things.
There will be your future husband’s cousin who’s allergic to nuts and your aunt who’s probably vegan or something, but let’s say that you can choose whatever food you like, for a moment.
Surfing on the web you’ll find thousands of wedding food ideas that you can take inspiration from, but here we want to make a selection of the 5 most-requested courses the couples we organized the wedding for usually choose.
1. Crispy courgette flowers with burrata cheese, almond and beetroot tartare
This dish is perfect as an appetizer. Courgette flowers are frequent in Italian cuisine and represent an elegant and delicate option to delight your guest once they arrive at your reception wedding. In Venice, we usually fill them up with some baccalà mantecato, but the variation with some burrata cheese definitely holds a candle.
2. Ravioli filled with aubergine, calf ragu, and pecorino cheese sauce
Another wedding food idea can be a plate of ravioli filled with eggplant and calf ragu, all served with a delicious pecorino cheese sauce. All the flavors mix perfectly together, giving a sensation of completeness to the palate. This is certainly a course that should be served at the table and not on interactive food stations as the dish before.
3. Home-made cannelloni filled with ricotta cheese and spinaches
Cannelloni with ricotta cheese and spinaches are a typical Italian dish, which usually appears on Italians’ tables on feast days. Choosing this food idea for your wedding means putting some Italian taste in your wedding menu and make your guest feel closer to the Italian culture, tasting one of its most delicious recipes.
4. Venetian prawn risotto
As you may know, Venetian cuisine is full of fish dishes, and one of the most appreciated by locals is the Venetian prawn risotto. If you’ve already been to Venice, you’ll probably have tasted it in one of the numerous restaurants in town and if so, we are sure you know why we are proposing it among the 5 most-requested wedding food ideas.
If you’ve never tried it, we bet you won’t find any other better fish course for your wedding reception. Your guest will love the harmony behind this dish, it’s so delicate that it almost melts in your mouth.
5. Beef fillet with black pepper sauce
Our last wedding food idea is a classic: a beef fillet with black pepper sauce. This is actually a French dish, but it’s appreciated from Italians too. The fillet is a kind of meat that even when you cook it, it remains soft, that’s one of the reasons why everybody loves it.
The black pepper sauce is made with cream, which gives some extra calories to the whole dish, but we are sure you don’t mind. We guess you don’t want to offer you guest some dietetic courses, do you?
