Asheville Catering by Pomodoros Cafe

When it comes to catering in Asheville North Carolina, Pomodoros Café is ready to assist you with whatever need you have. The fine cooking and catering trade actually dates back to the 4th millennium BC in China. Later on the Roman Empire established accommodations and catering for the soldiers along military roads and trading routes. Today in Western North Carolina, we have evolved when it comes to catering. In Asheville and around the world, we use catering to make that special event even more special by sourcing out the cooking, food, and beverages to a company and allowing us to relax and have a good time.
