Longing for authentic Italian cuisine? Look no further, Positano to Byron Flavours is a local catering business that offers a customised menu of delicious homemade dishes prepared only with the freshest and locally-grown ingredients.
The owner, Carlo, along with his family, has called Byron Bay home for more than 20 years. Positano to Byron Flavours was born from Carlo’s vision to bring a little of Positano to Byron Bay. His food is inspired by the culinary traditions of his home, the idyllic tourist town of Positano on the Amalfi Coast in the south of Italy.
Carlo has more than 35 years of experience in hospitality, working in some of the best hotels, restaurants and resorts in Italy, England and Australia. He comes from a long line of foodies and he believes the three key ingredients in the kitchen are: fresh produce, passion and ‘fantasia’, aka imagination!
Everything Carlo offers on the menu is made from scratch, including sourdough, gnocchi and homemade pasta. He also grows fresh garden herbs and most of the vegetables used in his cooking. Positano to Byron Flavours caters to small intimate lunches/dinners and to larger events, cocktail parties, buffets, as well as food deliveries and sharing platters. Carlo’s menu celebrates the beautiful seafood that the Byron area has to offer – from seafood carpaccio, linguine with Ballina prawns, seafood risotto, octopus salad, to a delicious ‘zuppa di cozze’ (mussels soup) or ‘insalata di frutti di mare’ (seafood salad). Barbecues are Australian, no doubt, but if you want to impress your guests this menu option has a little twist – mozzarella on a lemon leaf, marinated meats or fish, and mixed vegetables with a Mediterranean dressing, all cooked on wood charcoal for that special taste and served on platters to share with your family and friends.
It doesn’t have to be all about food – drinks are important too! With a wide variety of Italian-inspired finger food available, you can enjoy a nice aperitivo, cocktail or glass of wine without worrying about having to drive home. Carlo has extensive experience as a bartender and sommelier so he can mix some of your favourite cocktails and pair the best wines to your meal. Positano to Byron Flavours can take the hassle and stress out of your next event or celebration!
