Fuego di Gianni Cardi | Wedding Catering & Live Food Experience in Tuscany

Fuego di Gianni Cardi is a boutique wedding catering service based in the heart of Tuscany, specialising in authentic Italian experiences for destination weddings.

Born in the Chianti countryside, our approach is rooted in tradition, high-quality ingredients, and a passion for creating unforgettable moments around food. We are not just a catering service — we design tailored experiences that reflect the true spirit of an Italian wedding: warm, convivial, and full of life.

We offer a refined yet dynamic catering concept that blends elegance with entertainment. Through live cooking and interactive food stations, we transform each phase of the event into a memorable experience. From the Tuscan aperitivo to the final dessert, every moment becomes a journey through flavours, where guests can truly experience Italian cuisine in a relaxed and engaging atmosphere.

Rather than offering a fixed menu, we create flexible and immersive food experiences that become part of the celebration itself. From informal outdoor aperitivos to full wedding receptions, our setups are designed to bring people together and enhance the atmosphere of the event.

Whether it is a rustic-chic Tuscan wedding or a more elegant reception, we adapt every detail to the couple’s vision. Our strength lies in flexibility, attention to detail, and the ability to create both informal and more structured wedding experiences.

Our services include a range of live and interactive experiences such as artisan gelato carts, vintage pizza trucks, fresh pasta prepared on the spot, cocktail and drink stations, and traditional Italian grill setups — all designed to create moments, not just meals.

We also provide complete wedding receptions, from aperitivo to dessert, with both buffet-style and seated service options.

For us, it is not simply about food, but about bringing back the authentic flavours of Tuscan tradition.
Genuine and deep flavours, connected to the land and to time, which are becoming increasingly rare to find today.
Through the ingredients we grow and work with directly, we bring back to the table aromas and sensations that tell the true spirit of our land.

Based in Florence, we proudly serve weddings across Tuscany and throughout Italy.

An unforgettable culinary show!

"I recently experienced Fuego’s performance at an event. Although their catering services—such as the open bar and the gelato cart—were professional and of high quality, the real highlight was the live pasta-making experience.

Watching the chef create the pasta from scratch was mesmerizing. We saw everything: from the dough to the rolling, all the way to the final cooking. Being able to witness the creation of a dish from nothing, smelling the fresh aromas, and finally tasting the incredible result was truly exceptional.

It’s not just a meal; it’s a complete sensory performance."

Pasta party

Our wedding took place on January 11th, 2026, and choosing Fuego di Gianni Cardi was truly one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire planning process.

From the very first contact, the team was incredibly professional, responsive, and attentive to every detail. They made everything seamless and stress-free, allowing us to fully enjoy our special day.

The food experience was simply outstanding. The pizza was absolutely delicious—light, perfectly baked, and loved by all our guests. The open bar was fantastic, with expertly crafted cocktails and a friendly, highly professional team that created a great atmosphere.

The barbecue was exceptional, with perfectly cooked meats full of authentic flavor. The pasta party was a real highlight—fresh, high-quality dishes prepared on the spot and appreciated by everyone. The porchetta party was incredible, rich in flavor and beautifully presented, adding a true Italian touch to the event. And finally, the gelato cart was simply breathtaking, both in presentation and taste, leaving all guests amazed.

What truly sets Fuego di Gianni Cardi apart is their passion, organization, and attention to detail. They don’t just provide catering—they create a complete experience.

We received so many compliments from our guests, and we would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a unique and unforgettable wedding in Italy.
