What's in an Italian Gift Basket?

A good Italian gift basket gives someone everything they need for a meal at home. Most start with artisan pasta in shapes like linguine, casarecce or campanelle and a jar of tomato basil sauce. Garlic-infused olive oil and an herb bread dipping mix turn a loaf of bread into an appetizer, while breadsticks, focaccia crackers, green olives, marinated mushrooms and artichoke bruschetta fill out an antipasto spread. Many baskets add smoked gouda or garlic cheddar and a beef summer sausage for slicing, and a few finish on a sweet note with cookies, wafers or a cappuccino mix.

Many of the pastas, sauces and pantry items in our Italian gift baskets are imported from Italy, and every basket is hand-assembled so it arrives looking as good as it tastes.

For the home cook, a pasta basket delivers a restaurant-style dinner in one box. The Pasta Amore Italian Gift Basket keeps it simple with two artisan pastas, sauce, garlic olive oil and olives. Pastabilities! adds focaccia crackers, garlic cheddar and a bread dipping mix. The Dinner for Two Italian Gift Basket is made for a date night in, and the Dinner Time Delight Italian Gift Basket is the full spread, from pasta and sauce to cheese, sausage, cookies and cappuccino for dessert.

Pizza Night Gift Baskets

Pizza kits are a fun gift for families and anyone who loves to cook together. Each includes pizza dough mix and pizza sauce, plus toppings like cheese, beef summer sausage, olives and marinated mushrooms. The Pizza Party Gift Box covers the basics, the Pizza Amore Gift Basket adds a pizza pan and chocolate cookies, and the Pizza & Wine Delight pairs a homemade pizza night with your choice of wine or champagne.

Wine and Antipasto Gift Baskets

For a gift that feels like an evening out, pair Italian food with wine. The Tastes of Italy Wine Gift Basket includes two bottles of wine you choose, alongside pasta, sauce, extra virgin olive oil, smoked gouda, olives and crackers. The When in Rome Italian Gift Basket combines pasta and pizza fixings with sausage and cheese for grazing, and the Gourmet Italian Gift Basket brings three artisan pastas, breadsticks, olives and marinated mushrooms. For a smaller gift, Viva Italia pairs campanelle pasta and sauce with artichoke bruschetta and breadsticks. You'll find more options in our wine gift baskets and meat and cheese gift baskets.

Italian Wine Pairing Tips

The Italian rule of thumb is to match the wine to the sauce. Tomato-based pasta sauces pair well with medium-bodied reds with bright acidity, like Chianti or another Sangiovese. Pizza loves an easygoing red such as Montepulciano d'Abruzzo or Barbera. Garlic and olive oil pastas go nicely with a crisp white like Pinot Grigio, and smoked gouda and summer sausage stand up to a fuller red. Prosecco works with almost everything on an antipasto board.

Our wine baskets let you choose the bottle, and any wine can be swapped for a sparkling non-alcoholic option for recipients who don't drink.

When to Send an Italian Gift Basket

Italian food baskets fit moments built around sharing a meal. A pasta or pizza basket makes a warm housewarming gift for someone stocking a new kitchen, and a dinner-for-two basket is a thoughtful gift for newlyweds or an anniversary. A ready-to-cook Italian dinner is also a comforting sympathy or get well gift, since it saves a grieving or busy family from planning a meal. And for clients and teams, a wine and antipasto basket feels generous and easy to share.
