Behind Papilla,
Notaro.
Since 1992, Notaro has been an Italian table in Luxembourg: produce-led cooking, a dining room that has seen generations of guests grow up, and a standard that is not up for negotiation.
Papilla was born from that. Same cooks, same suppliers, same way of doing things — moved to wherever you host: an office, a garden, a gallery, a home.
You are not choosing a caterer. You are inviting a restaurant over.
Notaro Ristorante — member of the Unione Ristoranti del Buon Ricordo.
Our formats
Four ways to host.
Every event is built to measure. These four formats are starting points, not fixed menus.
Live cooking
A chef cooks in front of your guests: pasta finished to order, grills, seasonal dishes. The show is on the plate.
Team events · private parties · garden parties
Seated dinner
Dressed tables, plated service, a menu in several courses. Notaro's dining room, at your place.
Corporate dinners · birthdays · celebrations
At the office
Team lunches, coffee breaks, meeting breakfasts, lunch boxes. Delivered, set up, and served if you wish.
Meetings · training days · client daysNo price list, on purpose: every event is quoted line by line — food, drinks, staff, equipment, travel — excluding and including VAT. You know exactly what you are paying for, and why.
Companies, families:
the same standard.

How it works.
You write to us
Two minutes with the form: date, number of guests, venue, what you have in mind. Or just call.
We propose
Within 48 hours, a proposal and an itemised quote, adjusted together.
We refine
Menu, drinks, running order, equipment. A tasting is possible for larger events.
On the day
We set up, we cook, we serve, we clear away. You host.
Past events
What we have already done.
Corporate reception
An office space turned into a reception: trays of Italian canapés, a spritz and bubbles bar, a floor team. Guests move around; the team stays in the background.
Private garden party
A garden, a tent, two chefs finishing dishes in front of the guests, tables dressed under the trees. The hosts stayed with their guests from start to finish.
Aperitivo
A short, precise format: oysters shucked to order, bubbles served on trays, a gin bar. For the ends of the day that deserve more than a buffet.

December is decided in October.
Year-end dates go early in Luxembourg. Team party, client dinner, Saint Nicholas at the office: if it is on your mind, now is the time to talk.
Frequently asked questions.
How far in advance should I book?
For an office lunch, one to two weeks is often enough. For a reception or a dinner, allow three to six weeks. For year-end, several months. Either way, write to us: if the date works, we will tell you straight away.
From how many guests to how many?
From 30 to 250 guests, and beyond on request. What changes with the numbers is the team and the equipment — not the standard.
Where do you operate?
In Luxembourg City and across the Grand Duchy. Offices, homes, gardens, galleries, hired venues: we adapt to the place, including where there is no kitchen on site.
Allergies, diets, restrictions?
Tell us in your request. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free: we build them into the menu, not on the side.
What is included?
Displays, tableware, glassware, service equipment and staff, depending on the format. Tents, furniture and floral decoration: on request, with our partners.
How does invoicing work?
An itemised quote excluding and including VAT, a deposit on confirmation, the balance after the event, by bank transfer. The invoice is issued in your company's name if you wish.
