Pasta Al Limone in the Garden

I have always been enamored with formal dining. The art of it all. The etiquette. The opulence – There is something so beautiful about a perfectly set table. Silver polished to a mirrorlike finish, wine and water glasses glittering under the candlelight and intricate patterns of artisan china spaced out with persicion… It feels like something out of an old romance novel or period film. Something forgotten and antiquated. Something worth sitting down for. We simply do not see formal dining much in modern society, and yet, this is one of my happiest places. A place where I feel as though my imagination and heart comes alive, a space where the possibilities are endless. A setting perfectly designed to illuminate my love for the theatre of dining.
