Catering
The chef comes to you.
Francesco brings the cooking of Materia wherever it’s needed: to your home, to an address in Ferrara or in the province, wherever there’s a kitchen and an occasion to celebrate.
Birthdays, private parties, corporate events. The menu is built together, the cooking stays the same as in the restaurant.
“Unique experience, great food, impeccable service.”
