Italian Romance. Mediterranean Elegance. Timeless Celebrations.
For couples seeking an authentic culinary experience inspired by the flavors of Italy and the sophistication of the Hamptons, Chef Marco Barrila creates wedding celebrations centered around exceptional cuisine, warm hospitality and timeless style.
A Sicilian-born chef with more than 25 years of experience, Chef Barrila is known for blending the traditions of Northern and Southern Italy with the fresh, seasonal ingredients of the East End. His cuisine reflects the spirit of coastal Mediterranean living - abundant tables, handmade pastas, pristine seafood, artisanal cheeses, farm-fresh vegetables, and recipes passed down through generations.
Named one of New York City's Top 40 Chefs early in his career, Chef Barrila later earned acclaim for his fresh pasta creations and award-winning restaurants. Most recently, Barrila's Pastaria was voted Best Italian Restaurant on the East End by Northforker Magazine for four consecutive years before Chef Barrila returned his focus exclusively to private events and luxury catering.
Each wedding is thoughtfully curated to reflect the couple's unique vision, whether it is an intimate vineyard dinner, an elegant estate reception, a waterfront celebration, or a weekend-long destination wedding. From lavish antipasti displays and handmade pasta stations to beautifully plated dinners, family-style feasts and late-night Italian traditions such as Spaghetti di Mezzanotte, every menu is designed to bring people together through the shared joy of food.
Inspired by the hospitality traditions of Italy, Chef Barrila believes that a wedding meal should feel both luxurious and deeply personal. His team works closely with couples, planners, and venues to create seamless celebrations where every detail—from the first aperitivo and selection of cicchetti to the final espresso and dessert - is executed with care and intention.
At the heart of every celebration is La Dolce Vita—the Italian philosophy of savoring life's most meaningful moments surrounded by family, friends, extraordinary food and beautiful surroundings.
The Proof Is In The Praise!
Rave reviews from happy couples!
Chef Marco and his team created the most incredible Tuscan inspired outdoor garden wedding for our 150 guests. They served multiple handmade pastas and specialty dishes in a beautiful family style presentation. It was very a very lovely service team too that made everyone feel as though they had been transported to a villa in Italy. Truly unforgettable!

From our welcome party to the wedding reception, every detail was executed with attention to detail. The food was elegantly presented, yet approachable. The hospitality was exceptional with real imported Italian servers. Our guests are still talking about the fresh pasta in the pecorino wheel station months later. Bravo!! Thank you to the entire team at Barrila's Pastaria to make our wedding wishes and dreams come true. Grazie Mille!

Working with Chef Marco was one of the best decisions we made. We have traveled extensively in Italy. His mastery of Italian cuisine is second to none. He brought a personalized approach to every interaction. The overall commitment to excellence created a wedding weekend that was truly "specatulare" and felt completely unique to us. We truly love Chef Marco and look forward to many more celebrations to come with him.
