Office party, family gathering or team celebration, let Carolina’s Italian Restaurant handle the food so you can enjoy the party. We are now booking Thanksgiving, Christmas and holiday party catering for November and December, delivered across Orange County and Los Angeles County.

Carolina’s has been serving Garden Grove since 1978. Every tray is cooked fresh the day of your event and portioned generously, because nobody should leave a holiday party hungry.

Parties We Cater

• Office and company holiday parties: a hot buffet for the whole staff, or boxed lunches at $10.99 per person for teams that cannot all sit down together.
• Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings: trays of pasta, chicken, salad and dessert so the family can skip the cooking.
• School and team celebrations: staff parties, end-of-season banquets and classroom events.
• Client and customer appreciation: lunch delivered to the people you want to thank.

We Deliver and Set Up

We deliver up to 50 miles from our Garden Grove kitchen, across Orange County and Los Angeles County. For large orders, our team unloads and sets everything up where you want it, and a warming setup is available to keep the food hot through the party. A delivery fee applies based on your location. Halal catering is available with 24 hours’ notice.
