What Our Guests Say About Pronto478
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.7 stars from 70+ Google reviews
Great food starts with the people preparing it, and our customers have plenty to say about what's coming out of the Pronto478 kitchen.
From Roman-style pizza to Italian street food, their feedback reflects the care behind our everyday menu.
Had a meatball fettuccine which was to die for along with the ham pizza. It was excellent food, very reasonably priced which to me earns the badge of “Must Visit” eatery! Definitely will go back!
Wow! What an amazing new restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious and so authentic. We had spaghetti bolognese and rigatoni carbonora, with sicilian doughnuts for dessert. The bolognese sauce was perfect and spaghetti pasta was cooked well. The carbonara was delicious and packed full of guanciale. The only slight downside for me was that the rigatoni was maybe a tad too al dente and chewy for my tastes. But the sauce was so good I ate it all! 😂 The doughnuts were divine - freshly cooked and the perfect texture and balance of fluffy and chewy.
Very decent pricing and friendly staff too. Feeling very lucky to have such a little gem in our neighbourhood. This is exactly the kind of excellent Italian cuisine we've been hoping (for so long!) will open in our area. We will be back soon to try the pizza and sorrisi next 🤩
Ordered multiple items from the menu! The bread used for the Sorrisi was exceptional! Fresh flavours! Tiramisu was amazing, must go back and try the limoncello flavour one 🤩 Will definitely be coming back!

Simple From the Start
How to Order Italian Drop Off Catering
What is drop off catering?
Drop off catering is a service where food is prepared in a commercial kitchen and delivered to your chosen location without on-site chefs or serving staff. At Pronto478, our Italian drop off catering is intended for customers who want convenient food for office lunches, birthdays and private gatherings. You organise the serving, while our kitchen prepares the agreed menu and arranges delivery.
How much food should I order for my event?
The amount of food you need depends on the number of guests, the occasion, and how you'll serve the meal. For example, a short office lunch may require different portions from a birthday celebration where guests expect a complete meal. Tell our team your guest count and budget. We'll recommend suitable catering quantities and menu combinations based on the options available.
How far in advance should I order catering?
We recommend making your catering enquiry as early as possible, particularly for large gatherings, weekends and busy periods such as Christmas. Ordering deadlines may depend on your selected menu, guest count and delivery location. If your event is approaching soon, call us on 03 9191 5943 to discuss availability.
Where does Pronto478 deliver catering?
Pronto478 is based in Bentleigh, Melbourne, and provides local takeaway and delivery services. For drop off catering, the delivery area may vary depending on the order size and location. Include your suburb and event address when requesting a quote so our team can confirm availability and any delivery charges.
Can you accommodate gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian guests?
Yes. Pronto478 offers vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices across its regular menu, with catering availability confirmed during the enquiry process. We also operate a nut-aware kitchen. Please inform our team of all allergies and dietary requirements before confirming your order so we can discuss suitable dishes and preparation practices.
Can I customise my drop off catering order?
You can discuss your preferred dishes, guest count and budget with our team before confirming your order. We can explain which menu combinations, additional dishes, and dietary modifications are available. Browse our Italian street food menu for inspiration.
Is there a minimum order or delivery fee?
Minimum order requirements and delivery fees should be confirmed when requesting your catering quote. Costs may depend on the size of the order, delivery distance and catering requirements. Share your event details with our team so we can provide the relevant information before you confirm your booking.
What is the difference between drop off and at-home catering?
Drop off catering involves food prepared at Pronto478 and delivered to your location without an on-site catering team. With at-home Italian catering, our staff travel to your chosen venue, prepare the food on site and handle the cooking and clean-up. The best choice depends on your occasion, budget and preferred service. Still have questions? Visit our general FAQs or call 03 9191 5943.
