Bottega Foods Catering (previously Rita's Gourmet Catering)

Superb gem! I missed this place from years ago ...found again and so happy! continued patron and delicious food!

Ritas food was superb. I had Rita cater the food for my 65 birthday party. It was set for 20 people but 22 showed up. I worried there would nt be enough but it was plenty. She delivered on time and set up the food and even let us borrow some chaffing dishes. The lasagna, chicken picatta, short ribs, grilled veggies were all perrfect. Even the canolies pistachio and chochlate were to die for. I recomend Rita for italian food.

I was looking for good Italian pastries for my wedding. My mom and I stopped in one day and picked up a box for an occasion and fell in love. My husband and I's families are both Italians from the east coast, they take their pastries seriously. All of them said these pastries tasted like the ones they grew up with! Rita's even put together a fruit platter for us let us borrow a nice tray. If you're looking for real traditional Italian pastries this is your spot! AMAZING!!

Love love love the farmer's market here!!! There are so many different varieties of food, fruits, juices, crafts all in one location! A definite Mecca for tourists. There is all day pkg available for $3 or you can do 1 hr meter parking. SO many samples to taste you will leave here feeling full and satisfied. You might think you can escape here without paying for any food, but you won't be able to resist!!!!

Highly recommend!! Rita's has been leading the catering' scene for so many years, covering all the LA, Ventura and OC areas. She has the most refined taste and looks for any of her creations!! Been using her for almost 10 years, recommended also to all my friends. She specializes in Italian food, being originally from Italy, but she also goes above and beyond any of her other customers' needs. A must try and a must keeping her services for any of your life' special events!! If you want to try the REAL PLEASURE of food...
