About Us
Founded by Brooklyn-based chef and comedian Dave Mizzoni, The Tomato Party celebrates food as an experience — bold, joyful, and always shared. What began as a love letter to the humble tomato has grown into a full-fledged culinary and event company, curating unforgettable dinners, brand activations, and private gatherings across New York, The Hamptons, and Los Angeles.
Each event blends Italian-inspired cooking, stunning tablescapes, and playful storytelling, designed to make guests feel like they’ve stumbled into the dinner party of their dreams. From intimate at-home meals to large-scale collaborations with brands like Carbone Fine Foods, Free People Movement, and Graza Olive Oil, The Tomato Party brings warmth, wit, and creativity to every table.
Whether it’s a 12-person dinner or a 250-guest celebration, Dave and his team handle every detail — menu, styling, décor, and vibe — so all you have to do is show up hungry.
FAQ
Where do are you based?
We’re based in New York City, but we’ve brought The Tomato Party to kitchens, gardens, and venues across the country — from The Hamptons to Los Angeles. If tomatoes can travel, so can we.
What kind of events do you do?
From intimate private dinners to large brand activations, we handle it all. Whether it’s a tomato-themed soirée or a customized menu for your company launch, we’ll make it delicious and memorable.
How much does a Tomato Party event cost?
Pricing depends on the size, style, and scope of your event. Once we connect for a quick call, we’ll create a personalized proposal that fits your vision, menu, and budget.
How far in advance should I book?
Ideally, at least 4–6 weeks in advance for private dinners, and 2–3 months for larger events. But if your timeline’s tighter, reach out anyway — we might be able to squeeze you in.
Do all your menus include tomatoes?
Not at all! While we love celebrating the almighty tomato, our menus are fully customizable. We’ve created lemon parties, seasonal harvest feasts, and even minimalist dinners — all built around your taste.
Do you provide liquor or bartending services?
Yes! We offer tablescaping, florals, and full event styling — from centerpieces to tomato towers. Each setup is curated to reflect your event’s tone, location, and menu.
We don’t provide liquor or bartending services directly, but we’re happy to coordinate with your preferred bartenders or vendors. We can also curate wine pairings, create batch cocktails, or style bar setups to match your event theme.
Do you handle décor and table styling?
Do you work with brands?
Yes — we love collaborating with lifestyle and food brands on creative events, influencer dinners, and product launches. Past partnerships have included everything from olive oil tastings to pasta pop-ups.
