A cinematic summer evening inspired by Tuscan evenings—under a canopy of hand-made flags and the sound of a courtyard fountain.

Dinner party details

An intimate, end-of-summer Italian dinner set outdoors in the courtyard for a fresh take on a timeless theme. Breezy linens, candlelight, and muslin flags created a mood that was equal parts charming and effortless.

  • We kept the table simple and organic, pairing a soft linen tablecloth with ceramic plates, lanterns, and candles. The handmade flags above the courtyard table added the perfect finishing touch—casual, elegant, and just a little bit cinematic. You can find all of our Al Fresco Italiano Tableware here.

  • Classic Italian flavors with seasonal touches—think fresh herbs, olive oil, and late-summer produce—served family-style to keep the conversation flowing.

  • Guests went home with a mini baguette from a local bakery and a tin of rosemary-infused olive oil—a simple, thoughtful pairing that captures the heart of Italian hospitality.

  • Our question of the night—“Where is your favorite place on Earth, and why?”—sparked the kind of heartfelt sharing that makes these evenings unforgettable.
