Pickles Portions are very large, & a direct result of the Donato family's deep Italian heritage
Where lots of food, and lots of love, went hand in hand!
When planning any event, please take this in to consideration, as...
If you will be serving smaller portions or other food items
You could easily be left with more then expected left-overs.
