About

The Dirty Italian is a wedding catering business located in Boston, Massachusetts. When it comes to catering events, their grazing tables are the ideal choice to add color, elegance, and a touch of sophistication. Owner Talya Pessolano spent much of her childhood helping her family in the kitchen in their Springfield, Massachusetts home. She honed her skills in pairing wine and cheese and the art of display as a general manager of a local store before relocating to Boston. Before she left, the Frigo family gifted her the now-fan-favorite sandwich recipe, “Tanya’s Dirty Italian”, and the name of her business was born.

Charcuterie Boards for Bachelorette Party

I booked Talya’s Dirty Italian for a friend’s bachelorette party. Talya perfectly curated two unique charcuterie boxes, including a traditional meat/cheese option as well as a lighter veggie/mediterranean option. The whole bachelorette party loved!! It was perfect for apps and drinks at the house before a night out on the town. Talya is so professional and accommodating, and her products are 10/10. Cannot recommend enough!!

Talya is an artist!

Talya is extremely talented! We had a great experience with her. She made us a dirty Italian board for a get together with friends and then a Mediterranean board for my daughter’s birthday. Both were delicious and everyone enjoyed them!
