Gather Around the Table in True Italian Fashion

Inspired by the warmth of a traditional Italian gathering, guests are welcomed to long communal tables dressed in red-and-white checkered linens and adorned with rustic touches that evoke a vibrant, harvest-style setting.
Begin the evening with a welcome glass of wine, then settle in to enjoy abundant, seasonal dishes served family-style, encouraging connection, conversation, and shared moments. Additional bottles and glasses of wine will be available for purchase to complement your meal.
With live music setting the tone and candlelight illuminating the garden, this unforgettable night captures the effortless charm of dining al fresco in Italy, where great food, fine wine, and even better company come together under the open sky.
