Hi, Tess, I would tweak some, you probably don't need quite so much entree:

5lbs baked ziti- 7 to 8 pounds
15lbs sausage, peppers and onions- 12 plenty
6lbs of meatballs (about 180)-OK
egg plant rollatini (about 100 rolls)
Chicken Marsala (about 100 pieces)- 60 plenty
10lbs Canned new potatos roasted- I would omit- maybe do a veg such as roasted veg served room temp Italian style? 12 pounds

salad, use plan for 100, do 2/3 amount for 100

cheese plate, 5 pounds, some can be spreads or logs
4 pounds crackers
fruit plate, use fruit plate page, do 1/2 the amount of the deluxe tray for 100
10-12 pounds- people really like shrimp- or do a dip or mold

This is quite a bit of liquor
5 cases of beer
30 bottles of wine
25 bottles of soda
