How it began

Our story

For you, with all our love

We met at a dinner with friends that went on until the small hours. Nobody remembers the menu; we remember the conversation.

Eight years later we want to do it again: one long table, the people we love most and no hurry to get up.

    Under the porticoes, with cold wine and something to nibble.

  3. Dinner

    One long table at the Trattoria del Portico.

  4. Cake and lingering

    Coffee, cake and toasts until the candles burn down.

What to wear

Dress code

Cocktail or city smart.

There are cobblestones: block heels are best. It gets cooler under the porticoes in the evening, so bring a wrap or a jacket.
