“Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit and resign yourself to the influence of the earth”
A LATE SUMMER ITALIAN ALFRESCO DINNER
THE SPIRIT: Carefree, easy and lighthearted. Embrace the long, warm summer nights with easy conversation and the warm glow of the sunset.
THE FOOD: Savour the last tomatoes of summer with a Caprese salad, gnocchi and sausage ragu. The sweet treat: cannolis from your local Italian bakery
THE TABLE: Fresh olive oil in glass dispenser bottles, white linen napkins, garden flowers and mismatched dishes emphasize the laid-back spirit of the evening.
THE COCKTAIL: 90° in the Shade Cocktail
THE PLAYLIST: Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Andrea Bocelli and Carla Boni
THE BONUS: Hang miniature candle lanterns with flickering battery operated tea light candles from tree branches. It provides the perfect glow of light, mimicking the twinkle of the stars.
