Lake Maggiore, between Switzerland and Piedmont

Weddings amid Breathtaking Views and Legendary Islands

Lake Maggiore is a world apart: the Borromean Islands, the historic Grand Hotel des Iles Borromées in Stresa, the lakeside promenades of Verbania and Ascona. A lake that embraces three regions — Piedmont, Lombardy and Canton Ticino — and offers scenery of rare beauty. Our Ape Car brings Italian show cooking to these incredible panoramas, making every wedding an unforgettable gastronomic experience.

Why Lake Maggiore

Food Truck Catering Lake Maggiore: Borromean Islands, Stresa and Verbano

Lake Maggiore has a different charm from the other great lakes of Northern Italy: wilder, quieter, with panoramas embracing the Alps and pre-Alps in a single glance. The Borromean Islands are a de facto UNESCO World Heritage Site: Isola Bella with its baroque palazzo, Isola Madre with its botanical garden, Isola dei Pescatori with its medieval village. Bringing our food truck to this lake means working in contexts of extraordinary natural and historical beauty.

Our Lake Maggiore wedding catering is available across the Piedmontese shore (Stresa, Verbania, Baveno) and the Ticino side (Locarno, Ascona, Brissago). The Ape Car Pizza with wood-fired oven fires DOC Neapolitan pizza while the sunset turns the lake waters orange, and the Cocktail Bike prepares cocktails with views of the Borromean Islands. A complete, personalised service for weddings from 30 to 200 guests.
