Family Italian Catering · Est. 2008

Three generations of Calabrese recipes, served at your table.

From intimate backyard gatherings to 400-guest weddings, Little Caesar Catering Co. brings authentic, family-recipe Italian food across the Greater Toronto Area — the way Nonna Esposito taught us in her Mississauga kitchen.

Who we are

A Calabrese kitchen, now catering across the GTA

Little Caesar Catering Co. was founded in 2008 by Marco Esposito, who named the company after his late grandfather — Cesare "Piccolo Cesare" Esposito, a 5'2" baker from Reggio Calabria whose nickname followed him from the village of Bagnara all the way to his new life in Mississauga. Marco grew up watching his Nonna turn Saturday afternoons into four-course feasts for fifteen cousins, and he brings that same generosity to every booking — whether it's a corporate lunch for sixty or a wedding for four hundred.

Today our kitchen prepares every order in-house: pasta rolled each morning, bread baked the night before, sauces that simmer for hours because shortcuts don't taste like home. We're proudly independent, proudly family-owned, and proudly Calabrese.

What our clients are saying

★★★★★

"Marco and his team catered our daughter's wedding for 260 guests at Paletta Mansion. The lasagna had half my aunts crying — all of them Italian. Flawless service, generous portions, and a dessert table we're still talking about."

"We booked Little Caesar for a 90-person quarterly retreat. Hot-box delivery showed up exactly on time, food was restaurant-quality, and they even accommodated six gluten-free staff members without any fuss."

"For my father's celebration-of-life luncheon, the team handled everything with warmth and discretion. It felt less like catering and more like extended family taking care of us. Eternally grateful."
