CELEBRATIONS
Listed below are five examples of what we can provide for a buffet party at Abbraccio. These examples are particularly appropriate for holiday parties, office parties or even casual wedding receptions. These prices are based on a minimum of 25 guests and can be booked in the Abbraccio private room. Prices include food and beverages listed.
Tax and 18% service charge (gratuity) is additional. We can cater these parties at other locations, including rooms on the Penn campus and other University City locations. In this case there may be a charge for the room and/or for special equipment needed at the remote location.
*Note: For holiday parties seasonal decorations and eggnog (our famous homemade “spiked” eggnog for examples 3-5) and holiday-style cookies and brownies are included at the same price.
