Pasta Face Experiences
Live Italian Catering Experiences in Melbourne
Turn the food into part of the event. Pasta Face Experiences bring live Italian food, beautiful presentation and guest interaction together for weddings, private celebrations and corporate events across Melbourne.
Add one Experience to a selected Pasta Face catering package, combine two or all three, or ask about a selected Experience-only booking. Experience-only bookings are considered by arrangement and depend on the event, date, location, guest numbers, operational requirements and availability.
One event. Three moments.
Begin. Experience. Finish.
Pasta Face Experiences are primarily designed to complement selected Pasta Face catering packages. Add one Experience or combine all three around your catering service. Plates, cutlery and napkins remain included in your catering package. Experiences are quoted separately.
The Pasta Face Live Cheese Wheel Experience
Live Parmesan Cheese Wheel Gnocchi in Melbourne
Finished live inside the wheel. Right in front of your guests.
Available as an upgrade to selected Pasta Face catering packages, with the final service format planned around your event, venue and guest numbers.
Handmade Potato Gnocchi
Handmade potato gnocchi with four-cheese truffle cream, black truffle butter and aged Parmesan, finished live inside our Parmesan cheese wheel.
For package bookings, the Experience generally replaces one existing pasta component so the overall menu remains balanced.
Pasta Face supplies the dedicated Cheese Wheel station. Venue access, positioning and any power requirements are confirmed during event planning based on the service format and setup.
Designed for selected weddings, private events, corporate functions and premium workplace events. Minimum guest numbers apply.
Real Pasta Face service
A Pasta Face favourite, brought back.
Pasta Face has served cheese-wheel pasta at Melbourne events since 2018. Today, the Experience centres on handmade potato gnocchi, finished live inside the Parmesan wheel with four-cheese truffle cream, black truffle butter and aged Parmesan.
Genuine Pasta Face Cheese Wheel service at Melbourne events.
For Sharing Sit-Down weddings & events
Live at the wheel. Served to the table.
Guests remain seated while the live finishing becomes part of the main-course service.
For Sharing Sit-Down weddings and events, the gnocchi is finished live through the Parmesan wheel during the main-course service, transferred into Pasta Face sharing bowls and served directly to the tables by our team. Guests remain seated while the live finishing becomes part of the dining experience.
When added to a Sharing Sit-Down package, the Live Cheese Wheel Experience generally replaces one existing pasta component rather than adding an unnecessary extra pasta course.
Made for the moment your guests arrive.
Italian Grazing & Antipasto Tables for Melbourne Events
Designed for the beginning of the celebration — ideal for guest arrival, cocktail hour or pre-dinner grazing before the main Pasta Face catering service. We usually set the display on a suitable venue table; if one is not available, Pasta Face can bring a table. Where Pasta Face is not providing the main catering, this Experience may also be considered by arrangement, pending availability.
A generous Italian-style grazing display featuring cured meats, assorted cheeses, artisan breads, prosciutto-wrapped grissini, marinated and char-grilled vegetables, olives, crostini, house-selected dips, seasonal fruit and accompaniments.
“The setup of the grazing table was amazing.”

Finish on a high
The Pasta Face Live Tiramisu Experience
An Italian finale served in front of your guests.
Our classic Italian tiramisu is presented in large format and served from a dedicated dessert station. Pasta Face supplies the service table for the setup. Each portion is spooned fresh in front of your guests, then finished with cocoa and dark chocolate.
Take the first scoop.
The couple can make the first scoop before service begins — a distinctly Italian alternative to the traditional wedding cake moment.
“p.s. get the tiramisu!”

Questions, answered
About Pasta Face Experiences
Clear answers for couples, event planners and workplace organisers considering an interactive Italian catering experience.
What is the Live Cheese Wheel Experience?
Handmade potato gnocchi is finished live inside our Parmesan cheese wheel during service with four-cheese truffle cream, black truffle butter and aged Parmesan.
How does the Live Cheese Wheel Experience work with Sharing Sit-Down catering?
For Sharing Sit-Down weddings and events, the gnocchi is finished live through the Parmesan wheel during the main-course service, transferred into sharing bowls and served directly to the tables by our team. Guests remain seated while the live finishing becomes part of the dining experience.
Do guests need to queue for the Cheese Wheel Experience?
Not for Sharing Sit-Down service. Guests remain seated while our team finishes the gnocchi at the wheel and brings the sharing bowls directly to the tables. Other service formats are planned around the venue, guest numbers and catering style.
Does the Cheese Wheel Experience replace a pasta in my package?
Yes. When added to a selected Pasta Face package, it generally replaces one existing pasta component so the menu stays balanced rather than adding an unnecessary extra pasta course. We confirm the final pasta combination with you during planning.
Is there a minimum guest number for the Live Cheese Wheel Experience?
Yes. When added to selected Festival Street or Stand-Up Cocktail catering, the Live Cheese Wheel Experience is available from 50 guests. For Sharing Sit-Down events, the minimum guest requirements of the selected package apply. Other package formats follow their own minimum requirements. Experience-only bookings are considered by arrangement and may have different minimum requirements.
What servingware is included with the Live Cheese Wheel Experience?
For Festival Street and Stand-Up Cocktail events, Pasta Face supplies high-quality disposable serving containers, cutlery and napkins for the Cheese Wheel Experience. For Sharing Sit-Down events, the gnocchi is transferred into Pasta Face sharing bowls and served directly to the tables. Crockery, cutlery, sharing dishes, serving equipment and the package's premium napkins are already included in the Sharing Sit-Down package.
Can I book the Live Cheese Wheel Experience on its own?
Selected Experience-only bookings may be considered by arrangement, depending on the event, date, location, guest numbers, operational requirements and availability.
How is pricing confirmed?
Pricing is tailored to your guest numbers, venue and service format and is confirmed as part of your personalised quote.
Can dietary requirements be accommodated?
Dietary requirements can be accommodated depending on the requirement and event format. Where the cheese-wheel dish itself is not suitable, an appropriate alternative can be planned separately and confirmed before the event.
How does the Live Tiramisu Experience work?
A large-format tiramisu is presented at a dedicated dessert station, then portioned live and finished with cocoa and dark chocolate in front of guests.
Can I combine all three experiences?
Yes. Where suitable for your selected Pasta Face catering package and event flow, the three Experiences can form a complete journey: grazing as guests arrive, the Parmesan Cheese Wheel during service and tiramisu to finish.
Are Pasta Face Experiences suitable for corporate events?
Yes. Selected Experiences can be incorporated into suitable Pasta Face corporate catering packages. Experience-only corporate enquiries may also be considered by arrangement, pending availability.
Where does Pasta Face provide these experiences?
Pasta Face provides live Italian catering experiences across Melbourne and selected regional Victorian locations. Availability is tailored to your venue and event format.
