Our Story
Before transforming into a catering service, Raymond & Laurie owned the beloved restaurant of Raymond's Italian Ristorante on Main Street in McCloud, CA. This fine-dining establishment served up many an exquisite meal full of Italian flare and flavor! Out of a desire to spend more time working alongside family and focusing on his love of food over the stresses of running a restaurant, Raymond's Italian Catering & Food Products was born! Raymond's Italian is a family-centered business, and that core value emanates into the events in which we are priviliged to play a role.
Today, many of the restaurant's same delectable dishes are enjoyed in the catered menus of Raymond's Italian Catering & Food Products!
Featured above is one of our popular menu items: cheese ravioli in Raymond's homemade marinara sauce. View full sample menus from past events on our Services page.
