Matì

What Matì does

Matì Gourmet is a Milan-based, high-end Italian catering company that designs and executes bespoke culinary experiences. Founded on the gourmet reinterpretation of the traditional Roman maritozzo, the company operates from Via Cirillo 14 in Milan with partner-supported service delivery in Rome and Dubai, allowing it to cover corporate and private events across multiple cities without bearing the fixed cost of owned secondary kitchens.

The service portfolio spans five lines: corporate catering (product launches, press conferences, meetings, inaugurations); Chef at Home private dining for individuals; culinary team building for corporate groups of 10-100 participants; gastronomic consulting for restaurants, hotels, and food brands; and a wholesale Maritozzo Cult product range, including the Maritozzo Bar channel supplying plain maritozzi to bars, restaurants, and hotels. The signature product stack is built around proprietary maritozzo recipes and the personal culinary signature of founder-chef Matteo Casaroli.

The business runs a quote-based, project-driven model: each engagement is custom-priced by event type, guest count, menu complexity, and service level. Distribution is direct — website inquiries, phone, and email — supplemented by an organic social presence on Instagram and Facebook and reputation signals on Google Reviews and TripAdvisor. Ownership and management are founder-led, with three named principals (Matteo Casaroli, Laura Muccini, Roberto Tornari) over a 9-person team and no disclosed institutional capital or external investors.
