We’ve been proudly serving New Haven for six years with Cast Iron Chef Chophouse, but our culinary journey started long before that. In 1988, my grandmother opened Marisa’s Restaurant in Bridgeport, CT; we later moved to Trumbull, CT, in 1997. After many years of success, my father, Chef Attilio Marini, took over the family business and opened Cast Iron Chef Chophouse in New Haven, where we’ve been for the past six years. Chef Attilio is a self-taught culinary artist who honed his craft through years of trial, research, and hands-on experience. As his eldest daughter, I grew up surrounded by amazing food, which sparked my passion for sharing our family’s recipes with others. Now, we’re bringing that same magic to you—serving fresh, made-to-order meals directly in your backyard. No pre-cooked food, no warmers—just fresh, whole ingredients and the love and passion of our cast-iron cooking. Our cast-iron catering services bring a unique and unforgettable dining experience to your event with a variety of delicious and visually stunning offerings. Our packages feature a mouthwatering selection of sizzling steaks, a fresh and vibrant raw bar, and savory tacos made with the finest ingredients. For something truly special, our signature cast-iron pies—loaded with flavor and baked to perfection—are sure to be a hit. Guests can also indulge in our charcuterie cart, offering an artful spread of cured meats, cheeses, and accompaniments. For those craving comfort food with a twist, our Italian classics and famous cast-iron popcorn add an extra layer of indulgence. No matter the occasion, our cast-iron catering services promise to elevate your event with mouthwatering dishes and an interactive, one-of-a-kind experience
