Ordering Guidelines
Appetizers
Cocktail parties normally last 2 to 3 hours and should be
planned with 6 to 8 different appetizers and 12 to 16 pieces
per person. Appetizers served before a dinner buffet should
offer 3 to 4 different types and 4 to 8 pieces per person. Plan
at least a half hour to no more than an hour for
appetizers before dinner.
Consider stationary trays as part of your planning.
Entrees
This is the most important part of the menu. You need to
make sure you plan enough servings for each guest.
* If only one entree item is being served, plan for a 6 to 8
ounce portion or 2 to 3 portions per pound.
For two or more entree items plan for a 4 ounce portion or 4
servings per pound.
Please note that entrée like Chicken Parmigiana and
Franciase are full cutlets will weigh more.
Please note that all dishes are priced as finished weights.
Pasta Dishes:
Always a popular item and value oriented, pasta can accompany any entrée. If a pasta dish is the only side you plan to
serve, figure 6 to 8 oz per person. If you are serving pasta
with a potato or rice dish, you should plan 4 to 6 oz per person. If the pasta dish is the center plate, you should plan 1lb
per person. Stuffed Shells, Cannelloni, Manicotti plan two
per person
Please note that pasta dishes are priced at finished
weights of cooked pasta and sauce. A pound of finished
pasta will not be equivalent to a pound of dry pasta.
Potato, Rice and Vegetables:
This category is potato and vegetables so you should plan 4
to 5 serving per pound of each kind. If you are selecting two
vegetables for example, you should plan about 6 to 8 servings per pound of each kind.
Salads:
Salad greens are a great addition to any menu. Our servings
are generous. You do not need to plan to serve salad to every
guest. Pasta Salad and Potato Salads are hearty fillers and the
rule of thumb on this is approximately 4 oz. per person of
each kind.
Finger Sandwiches and Euro-Styled Sandwiches:
If this is the center plate, you should plan a least 2 per
person. If you have a large group, mix your selection to
include both kinds. You may plan to serve less if you are
including hot entrees with the sandwiches.
Pizza, Calzones, and Tortes:
A crowd pleaser at any gathering, pizza and calzones are
filling and value oriented. These items are a great addition to
any menu. We recommend that you plan 2 pieces per serving
for your guests.
Please note that all items are sold at their finished
weights.
SERVICE STAFF
Service staff can be provided. The cost is $100.00 per
staff person for a minimum of four hours. The fee is
$25.00 an hour for each staff member when functions run
over 4 hours.
PAYMENT
When you book your event, a 20% non-refundable
deposit is required. The balance due is payable upon
receipt. We accept personal checks, VISA,
MASTERCARD, and AMERICAN EXPRESS.
Any Cancellation or deletion to an order should be made
at least 48 hours in advance.
All orders should be placed 2 weeks in advance,
however smaller orders can be handled with 2 days
notice. Weekend orders should be placed by the
Wednesday before your event.
All prices are subject to change due
to variations in market price.

Ordering Guide
Our menu is both extensive and diverse, giving you a lot
of flexibility to plan an exciting and appetizing menu for
your event. Whether you are a novice or veteran party
planner , you may choose to consider some of the lessons
we have learned.
When planning your menu it is better to plan for
adequate amounts of the most popular dishes rather than
small amounts of several dishes. Other key factors are important to consider: the time of day, the age of your guests
and their appetites, the venue and type of occasion.
Luigi’s has been helping people plan parties for over 30
years and we will be happy to assist to make sure your party is an event to remember.
Please refer to the ordering guide lines posted on the last
page of this menu.
