How much notice do you need for a full catering order at FLR?

For most orders we ask for a minimum of four hours, though same-day requests are handled wherever possible. Kosher catering requires at least 24 hours to source, seal, and transport correctly.

Which handler do you deliver to at Florence airport?

We deliver to whichever handler is managing your aircraft on that operation. Confirm the handling agent when you place your order and we coordinate directly with them.

Can you cater for dietary requirements — vegan, gluten-free, kosher, halal?

Yes. Vegan, gluten-free, and halal menus are available with standard notice. Kosher orders require a minimum of 24 hours to arrange certified preparation and sealed delivery.

Do you supply crew meals separately from passenger catering?

Yes. Crew meals are packaged and labelled separately, designed to be practical and sustaining for pilots and cabin crew operating long duties. They are ordered and priced independently of the passenger menu.

Is Florence catering suitable for smaller aircraft with compact galleys?

The runway at FLR accommodates light and mid-size jets most regularly, and our packaging is specifically designed for the compact galleys found on those aircraft — secure, correctly portioned, and easy to manage in a limited service space.

Can you source wine and other beverages alongside the food order?

Yes. We can supply Tuscan wines, Champagne, spirits, soft drinks, and water as part of the same order. All beverages are sourced, chilled where appropriate, and delivered ramp-ready with the food.

Private jet menu for Firenze

A short, working selection — not the full carte. This is what the kitchen boards most often for a Firenze departure: classics that travel, plated for cabin altitude, sourced the same morning.

The Altitude Dining kitchenItaly

To start

Crostino Toscano with Chicken Liver & Vin Santo Gel

Toasted Schiacciata bread spread with a smooth chicken liver and sage pâté, finished with a small quenelle of reduced Vin Santo jelly. A classical Florentine opener, compact and travel-ready.

Cold main

Panzanella of Heirloom Tomato, Cucumber & Taggiasca Olive

A refined take on the Tuscan bread salad — torn sourdough, vine-ripe tomatoes, shaved cucumber, and small Ligurian olives dressed with single-estate Chianti Classico olive oil. Served chilled.

Hot main

Hand-Cut Pappardelle with Slow-Braised Wild Boar Ragù

Egg pasta rolled and cut by hand, paired with a ragù of wild boar slow-cooked with red wine, juniper, and rosemary. Packed in a hot-lock container to hold temperature through boarding.

Morning

Ricotta & Honey Crostata with Morning Fruit

A short-pastry tart filled with whipped sheep's-milk ricotta and wildflower honey, served alongside sliced seasonal fruit. Light enough for an early departure, satisfying enough to replace a hotel breakfast.

Pâtisserie

Cantucci di Prato with Vinsanto

Twice-baked almond biscuits from a Prato bakery, accompanied by a small sealed decanter of aged Vinsanto for dipping. The definitive Tuscan close to any meal.

To finish

Semifreddo al Cantuccio with Bitter Chocolate Sauce

A chilled semifreddo layered with crushed cantucci and a dark chocolate sauce made with 72% Amedei. Sealed and insulated for the journey, plated by crew at service.

Inflight Catering · Firenze

Private aviation catering at FLR

Firenze is not simply a city; it is an argument for slowness, craft, and the primacy of ingredients. The Arno valley farms that supply its markets have been doing so for centuries, and the rhythms of those harvests — white truffles in autumn, new-season olive oil in November, broad beans and pecorino in spring — shape everything we put on board at LIRQ. We source directly from producers in the surrounding hills: aged Chianti Classico from estates a short drive away, hand-pulled pasta from artisan laboratori in the city, and bistecca Fiorentina from Chianina cattle reared on the valley floor. Florence rewards those who know where to look, and our sourcing team does.

Regional Catering Menu · Firenze

Firenze inflight catering

Tuscan cooking resists ornament. A ribollita built properly needs only cavolo nero, cannellini beans, stale bread, and the right oil — but each element must be flawless. We apply the same discipline to every order: cold antipasti assembled to order, warm dishes sealed in professional hot-lock containers, and bread baked the morning of departure rather than the morning before. For longer sectors, we compose tasting sequences that move through Tuscany's larder without forcing it: a crostino of chicken liver and vin santo gel to begin, followed by a hand-cut pappardelle with wild boar ragù, and a finish of cantucci alongside a small pour of Vinsanto. Kosher menus are available with 24 hours' notice, sourced and sealed under full supervision.
