Who We Are
At Nadi Plates (pronounced "Naughty Plates"), our mantra is simple: we treat you like family because that's who we are...literally. There's Chef Nadia, the daughter of Italian immigrants with 30-plus years in food service management; Zach, the wannabe-wedding planner (and real-life wedding videographer); and Bianca, Nadia's mini-me and right-hand woman in the kitchen. Together, our mission is to bring Nadia's unique take on the Italian cuisine to your plate. And because our family is big, crazy and full of many ~different~ characters, our menu is all of those things, too. We can work with any budget, from $7 personal pizzas to full-service sit-down dinner and equipment rental. We don't charge extra for gluten-free or plant-based substitutes, and we take care of your vendors, too.
Where We Serve
We're based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. But because we work out of a state-of-the-art mobile kitchen, we can go virtually anywhere!

Nadia Santaniello Bucholtz is a first-generation Italian-American with a lifelong passion for food and the way it can bring people together. In 1991, she opened Villa Santaniello, a 300-seat banquet facility, and served as its first Banquet and Catering Director. After 25 years in the family business, she ventured into the corporate world and made a name for herself at major food & beverage companies across the Midwest. She moved to Milwaukee in 2021 to start Nadi Plates with her three children, all of whom are involved in the business.

For Zach, Nadi Plates is the realization of a lifelong dream to open a business with his mom. He runs all our marketing, and is the first point of contact for new couples. He's also the owner of FourFour Pictures, the highly-awarded wedding videography business, and is working on adding wedding planning and day-of coordination to his job titles. Like his mom, he resides in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
