The christening

The first lunch, all together.

After the church, the family sits down: terrace or main hall, the sea in front and no hurry to get up.

The day

From the church to the table, unhurried.

A christening is celebrated at the table, with the family arriving from out of town and the grandparents sitting down first. At Astragalo it starts with aperitivo on the terrace, the sea in front and the tables already laid in the main hall or outside.

Lunch is served at the table, with no sittings: on Saturdays and Sundays the kitchen is open from midday until late, so the day can take the time it needs. Anyone who wants to stays on the terrace after coffee.

The spaces

The terrace for aperitivo, the hall for lunch.

The four terraces and the main hall let you separate the two moments: a drink outside, looking at the bay, then everyone moves to the table. If the weather turns, you sit inside and the view stays the same.

In summer the garden adds another area, useful when the children need to move about while the adults finish eating.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How many guests can we invite to a christening?
The space is arranged around the number: terraces, main hall and garden are put together differently. Write and tell us how many you will be and we will explain how the lunch is set up.
Is there a menu for children?
It is agreed together with the rest of the menu: the kitchen is in-house and the dishes for younger guests are defined before the date, around everyone’s needs.
What time can we start?
On Saturdays and Sundays service starts at 12 pm and runs until late. Tuesday to Friday the kitchen opens at 6 pm. The venue is closed on Mondays.
Do you make the cake?
The cake is agreed with the kitchen, together with the menu: desserts are made in house. If you have your own, we agree it beforehand.
Where do we park?
In the village, a few minutes’ walk from the venue: the road down to the bay is narrow, so it is better to leave the car first. Castiglioncello station is close by.
Can we have the terrace exclusively?
It depends on the date and on how the day is arranged. Let’s talk about it when you write: the venue also hosts evenings and other events.
