What Off The Vine Catering, Llc does

Off The Vine Catering, LLC is a full-service catering company founded in 2005 and headquartered at 163 Morse Street in Norwood, Massachusetts, operating throughout Greater Boston and New England. The company provides menu design, food preparation, on-site event management, and hospitality services for corporate galas (including events for up to 3,000 guests), wedding receptions, and private social gatherings, working both on-site at venue-partner locations and at client-specified off-premise locations. It also operates an online to-go ordering service for breakfast, lunch, and dinner pickup and delivery, powered through the Tripleseat event-management platform.

In 2024, Off The Vine Catering was acquired by Lombardo's Hospitality Group, a fourth-generation family hospitality business with roots in East Boston dating to 1927 and currently owned by Jessica Lombardo Bigge, David Lombardo, and Francesca Lombardo Carbotti. The acquisition places Off The Vine alongside sister concepts Bardo's Bar Pizza and Spitfires BBQ and Clambakes within the Lombardo portfolio.

The go-to-market is event-driven: the company acts as preferred caterer at multiple Greater Boston venues — including Commander's Mansion, Elm Bank, Endicott Estate, The Connors Center, The Loring-Greenough House, the Charles River Museum of Industry & Innovation, and Community Rowing — supplemented by listings on The Knot and WeddingWire and Yelp-driven referrals. Revenue is generated primarily through project-based, quote-driven event contracts with pricing varying by guest count, menu selection, and service requirements, with secondary, transactional revenue from individual to-go orders. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, no public financials, and no disclosed headcount figure beyond qualitative references to a team of event managers, waitstaff, and chefs with 100+ years of combined experience.
