History

I Panini di Ambra team also known as “The Panini Ladies” was created in 2004 to serve pressed Italian panini on set. It gained quick popularity with all major Los Angeles commercials, video, tv and film production companies and today it expanded its menu with several healthy Italian recipes mostly created with organic ingredients. The catering on set is designed to offer a proper hot tasty balanced healthy meal with plenty of options that will cover any dietary need including vegan, gluten free for crews that work hard and long ours. Following the Entertainment industry recognition, the company promptly started expanding the catering services to private events as well.

Meal Planning

IPDA started working on sets serving crews during second meals. Later it gained consideration for pre-light and scouting lunches and following, regular lunches on shoot days. The Panini Ladies have always fully supported independent film productions and student projects developing a special relationship with AFI (American Film Institute), LA Film School together with several other private and independent associations. The main company objective is to provide a great meal access to filming crews working on any kind of production budget.

Catering

I Panini di Ambra created an healthy and affordable catering menu to support simple lunches, second meals, background actors meals, courtesy meals, private parties, and lunch meetings. Healthy Italian gourmet grilled sandwiches (panini) will replace: pizza, burgers, subway sandwiches, Mexican and American fast-food in general for local production crews. "Panini" are comparable in prices and will provide a healthy, tasty, warm choice of meals to people who work tough and long hours. Each "panini" is cut in two to give people opportunity to try more than flavor. We usually offer between four and five different types of original Italian style panini, including vegetarian, vegan and gluten free. What do we need? Just three to four 6 ft tables and 2 to 4 separated power lines to provide you with a tasty hot panini meal! You do not have power? for smaller crews we can bring ours generator and for larger jobs we can offer hot meals that do not require any electricity. We deliver to studios, offices, and even remote locations. Contact us to book your "panini ladies" Catering experience!
