Alfresco Dinner Party

Why this Party Works

There's nothing quite like the simple pleasure of dining outdoors. Hosting an alfresco dinner is a great option for entertaining friends because the open–air atmosphere is instantly relaxing. All it takes is a little planning — and a few easy–to–prepare dishes — to set the stage for a meal that's delicious and fun. Inviting guests to combine pastas and sauces in creative ways and offering fresh herbs for seasoning sets a warm, communal tone that's sure to spark plenty of conversation. Artisanal dinnerware and accessories elevate the evening with an air that's rustic yet refined.
