Catering to your aircraft in Guidonia (RM).
A military field in the Lazio hills, Guidonia gets business traffic that clears access first and orders food second. We cook for the galley you have and hand it over at the aircraft through your handling agent.
We know the galley, the diet card and the 5 a.m. re-plate — because we lived them. So we built the caterer we always wished we could call.
Fourteen years on VIP and head-of-state cabins. Can plate for twelve in a G650 galley and still land it hot.
The one who reads every diet card twice. If it says no cross-contact, it means no cross-contact.
Answers at 5 a.m. when the leg moved overnight. Same-day swaps are her love language.
Lazio cooking is Roman at its core, and it travels better than its reputation suggests. For a private jet menu out of Guidonia, the dishes that hold best are the ones built on olive oil, pecorino and slow braising: abbacchio, cacio e pepe components packed apart, carciofi alla romana served cold. An inflight menu here leans on what the Lazio countryside around the Tiber valley actually grows. Private jet food from this region is salty and generous, so portions are cut for a galley plate rather than a trattoria table.
Local specialities from Lazio come in two groups for the cabin. Cold: prosciutto and melon in season, ricotta romana with honey, puntarelle with anchovy dressing apart, and Roman-style pizza bianca sliced for private jet platters. Hot: abbacchio al forno, supplì, saltimbocca, and pasta packed with the sauce in its own pot. Gourmet inflight meals built this way keep their texture at altitude, and private jet snacks from the region run to pecorino, taralli and dried figs.

Guidonia Air Base, LIRG, sits at 289 ft in Lazio and is a military field first, so every visiting business flight runs through a handling agent and an access list. Private jet catering here is built around that: Roman and Lazio produce, packed for your galley and handed over at the aircraft. The same kitchen covers inflight catering and in-flight catering for the cabin, plus aviation catering for crews on long duty days, and business aviation catering when the trip changes late. Executive jet catering follows the type's galley, diplomatic flight catering follows protocol, and cabin crew meals are written on the order next to the passenger menu.
Business jet catering at Guidonia is usually a short list: who is flying, which type, and what the galley can finish. Corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering share one kitchen and one hand-over; charter flight catering is ordered apart, never folded into the aircraft price. Luxury inflight catering here means Lazio produce, a private jet chef and a bespoke menu built around the seat plan.
On a military base, official movements are the normal traffic. Government flight catering and VIP aviation catering are planned with access lists, head of state flight catering with traceable ingredients, and state visit aircraft catering with a fixed team. Discretion is built into the order.
At Guidonia the allergen risk sits in Roman staples: pecorino and egg in the pasta, anchovy in the chicory dressing, wheat in pizza bianca and supplì crumb. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free, kids meals and other special meals are cooked on a separate board and sealed in a separate box, marked by seat number with no names. Order the diet with the passenger list and we adapt the Lazio dish rather than swap it for something generic.
A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.
Sealed, certificate in the same box.
Their own menu, nothing to cut at altitude.
Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
Waiting on the ground at LIRG is part of the job, so crew meals are worth ordering: they are on request and invoiced with the order. Flight crew meals and pilot meals are packed in crew meal boxes, different meals for pilots when policy asks, and crew catering is separated from the guest trays. Cockpit meals are eaten between tasks, and cabin crew meals are listed apart.
FBO catering at Guidonia is a conversation with your handling agent, since the apron is military. Catering delivery to the FBO or the general aviation terminal is cleared in advance, and ground handling catering follows the access list. Handling agent catering means one contact for the gate, the apron and the aircraft door.
Visiting aircraft at LIRG range from light jets to larger types, and the type decides the loading. Galley catering for a small cabin walks up the stairs; a larger aircraft may need a high loader and a door that suits the type. Airside catering delivery is cleared through the handling agent for the military apron. Tell us the type and the galley and aircraft provisioning is planned around its ovens and drawers.

LIRG sits northeast of Rome in Lazio, a field with air force roots and limited civil traffic. Airport catering at Guidonia means working with the base, and general aviation arrivals follow its rules.
Business aviation at Guidonia is occasional and cleared case by case. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are planned once the movement is approved; aviation catering for the crew follows. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering depend on the galley, diplomatic flight catering on protocol, and cabin crew meals on the order. FBO services and ground handling services run through the handling agent; this is not a regular business aviation hub.
Italy follows EU food rules, so catering loaded at Guidonia is not a customs matter on departure. The restriction falls on arrival in non-EU states, where meat and dairy from Lazio may be limited. Tell us the route and we plan the menu around the next border.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Breakfast was already sorted; at Guidonia Air Base, the next request was a selection of petits fours and sandwiches for 4 guests, with a short ground stop to work around. I want a private jet chef to understand cabin service sequence, and this order gave us a useful starting point. The Galley Girls gave us an update on the side dishes before the handover, which helped us organise the cabin checks. The cabin team could match the desserts to the request before moving on to the remaining departure tasks.”
“With two separate meal services to consider at LIRG, we needed a practical way to serve poached fish with steamed rice to 5 passengers. The canapés from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. Our colleague could take over the fruit plates without asking where every component had been placed during preparation. For in flight catering, that attention to written menu details made the order noticeably easier to manage.”
“The cabin briefing at Guidonia Air Base included 3 passenger meals, a request for roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables, and instructions addressing a family lunch request. Instead of asking us to improvise, The Galley Girls explained how the canapés could be arranged during service. We could finish the crew provisions as each guest was ready, rather than laying everything out at once. This experience of inflight catering services gave us a useful reference for managing crew briefing on another departure.”
Cost here comes from the dishes. A turnaround that allows oven work lets us cook abbacchio and supplì; a tight one points to ricotta, cured meats and cold vegetables. Both are real private jet catering, and the invoice follows the menu on the order, nothing else.
Lead time is shaped by two things here: the military access and the galley. If your handling agent has the clearance, a two-service menu from Lazio can be set in one order. Last-minute orders are handled, including changes to what goes into the second drawer.
Seasons shape the Guidonia schedule: summer heat favours cold plates, winter fog suggests a hot dish in sealed containers. Customs is a destination issue for meat and dairy, not an Italian departure issue. Tell us the route and we pack for it.
Yes, though the access rules at LIRG apply to anything carried in. A crew waiting on duty time is better served by cockpit meals packed to eat from one hand. Crew catering is on request, and cabin crew meals are written next to the passenger order.
A short empty positioning flight into LIRG still needs its food ordered separately. The private jet charter does not carry catering, so we take a menu or crew meals on request and invoice them apart.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
