Pair with Local Roots Launch Catering Company

Charlestown chef Allison DeLorenzo and John Moore of the Navy Yard offer full service catering with the Plated Gourmet.

 John Moore, owner of The Navy Yard Bistro, has joined forces with Allison J. DeLorenzo of The Plated Gourmet as a new partner in her catering company, The Plated Gourmet.

DeLorenzo began the business in June of 2005 and in January of 2010 when expanding her company into a new shop location, she knew Moore would be thrilled to be a part of it. Often customers of The Navy Yard Bistro need catering and until now Moore wasn’t able to accommodate all requests.

The co-owners are a great mix of personality and skill, each having a career in marketing and sales before making career changes into the food industry. Buying out another catering company, Gimme The Skinny, the pair were able to take over their location at 35 Washington St. in Norwell, a quaint two-story Old Cape House.
