About Paisani Food Truck

Paisani is an Italian-American food truck based in Boston, serving Greater Boston year-round. We take the Italian classics we grew up on and give them a Boston twist, using local ingredients and recipes that respect where the food comes from. Our menu centers on made-to-order sandwiches built on wicked thin, crispy chicken and eggplant cutlets, like the Drunken Parm with vodka sauce and fresh mozzarella, or the Eggplant Caprese with honey whipped ricotta, fresh basil and balsamic glaze. We also make sweet corn arancini, fried fresh and served over vodka sauce. Everything is prepped in our commissary kitchen and finished to order on the truck, so it's hot, fresh and fast even for a big crowd. The truck is out seven days a week from April through November and five to six days a week in the winter. We also cater everything from office lunches to private parties, with a live sandwich station or "Sunday Dinner with Paisani" family-style trays of meatballs, eggplant rollatini, sausage and peppers, and penne alla vodka.

Matthew Minichiello & Ryan Palmer

Owner, Paisani Food Truck

Paisani was started by college friends Matt and Ryan, who founded the business while at UMass Lowell and launched it as an Italian food truck in Boston. The name comes from "paisan," meaning a fellow countryman, and that spirit shapes everything they serve: Italian-American classics made with local ingredients, generous portions and hospitality that makes every guest feel like family. Today Paisani brings made-to-order sandwiches and home-style Italian catering to offices, events and gatherings across Greater Boston.

When to Book

Recommended lead time
15–30 days before your event

The further ahead you book, the more trucks you'll have to choose from. Planning ahead is the best way to secure your top pick.

That said, shorter timelines work too—we book events just days out all the time. You'll just have fewer options to choose from.

Busy seasons: Spring and Fall are our most popular times in Boston, so booking early gives you the best selection.

Venue & Setup Requirements

What does Paisani Food Truck serve?
Paisani Food Truck serves Sandwiches and Fusion.Popular menu items include Buff Chick Cutlet Sandwich, Caprese Cutlet Sandwich and Drunken Parm Cutlet Sandwich.Most servings run about $16 before tax. The full menu with current prices is above.
Is there a minimum order or guest count?
Yes, Paisani Food Truck has a minimum order of $3,125, which works out to roughly 175 servings at this menu's prices. This minimum covers essential costs including food preparation, staffing, travel to your Boston location, and setup time. For smaller gatherings, consider the attendee-pay option where guests purchase their own meals.
What is included in the catering price?
Your quote from Paisani Food Truck includes food preparation, serving supplies (plates, utensils, napkins), the truck's staff, setup and breakdown, and travel within the Boston service area. The per-serving prices on this page already include Food Truck Club's service fee; sales tax is added and the complete total is shown before you confirm.
How far in advance should I book Paisani Food Truck?
Fifteen to thirty days gives you the best shot at your first-choice date, and shorter timelines work too. Food trucks in Boston book up fastest in spring and fall, and events with 100+ guests benefit from a little extra notice for menu planning and staffing.
What types of events does Paisani Food Truck cater?
Paisani Food Truck is new to Food Truck Club, so there are no platform bookings to show yet. Corporate lunches, employee appreciation days, community festivals, school and university events, and private celebrations around Boston are all bookable from this page.
Where does Paisani Food Truck serve?
Paisani Food Truck is based in Boston, MA and takes bookings across Suffolk, Middlesex, Norfolk, Essex, Plymouth, Bristol, Worcester, Barnstable, Hillsborough, Rockingham, Providence and Kent Counties. Travel inside that area is part of the quote; for a venue outside it, submit the request and the truck will confirm whether it can make the trip.
Do you offer vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or allergy-conscious options?
Paisani Food Truck lists vegetarian options on its profile. Include a count for each in your booking request so the truck preps enough, and flag any allergies at the same time.
Do I need to provide any utilities (power or water)?
Usually not. Most food trucks arrive with their own generator, water tank, and cooking equipment, so a flat, accessible parking spot of roughly 12 by 25 feet is all they need. Some trailers and dessert carts do run on an outlet, so mention what your venue offers and Paisani Food Truck will confirm any hookups before the event.
What happens in case of bad weather or cancellation?
Rescheduling is the usual answer when weather turns, and we work with you and the truck to find a date. If the event has to be cancelled, the refund follows the cancellation policy above.
