You have never met my family and friends.
They love to eat.
My family frowns upon events where only 1 type of meat is served.
When they have home parties-there is always 4 main meat choices.

Call the restaurant and cancel your order for veal/chicken parm and extra pasta bowls. Then you won't have to worry about the leftovers. Appetizer, main, dessert is plenty food for your guests!!!

Yup. I was a guest at a party at Maggiano's and the hosts took the untouched leftovers with them. No one thought it was weird.

Is it Maggiano's? They will box up leftovers for you.

Yes, it's yours, have them doggie bag it take it.Call them now and remind them before the party.LOl, if you don't we'll be fighting over the leftovers (the untouched ones, ignore one of the PP).
Signed,waitress.

My guess is that OP's referring to the self-serve chicken parm and pasta.

OP, it's probably fine.

+1

Not weird at all OP! You paid for the food!

LOL NO, only the stuff that is on a platter in the middle of the table for people to help themselves to a piece of.
The individual plated serving-yuck no.

Obviously she is saying only the untouched leftovers...not sure why you'd think otherwise.

I do know they have containers for sure.
Last year they didnt ask if i wanted to take them home so I didn't

Call and ask the restaurant how they handle left overs, ask if they provide containers, etc. They probably do. They probably encounter this all the time.

If you paid for them, you should get to keep them. Plain and simple.

I am hosting 40 people at a restaurant tomorrow. There is a menu that offers choices of appetizer, main, dessert. Then in addition to that I am having veal/chicken parm and extra pasta bowls on the table for people to grab.
Primarily because I have an insane need to make sure there is enough food. I know this is overkill.

My question: I know there will be left overs. Would it be weird for me to ask them to put the leftovers in a doggie bag?
Each piece of meat is $10 extra. But they cut it in half.

Its an Italian Restaurant.
