The day

After the service, lunch.

A first communion is almost always celebrated at lunch, on a Sunday: you arrive from the church, put the booklet down on the table and start with aperitivo on the terrace.

There is one table, or two close together: catechism classmates on one side, relatives on the other, grandparents in the middle. The kitchen is in-house and the menu is built with you, keeping younger guests in mind.

The spaces

Room to sit, without feeling squeezed.

The terrace is the place for aperitivo and photographs; the main hall is for the long lunch, with the sea in sight even when it is cooler outside. In summer the garden gives the children somewhere to move about.

After coffee there is no reason to get up: the terraces stay open and the afternoon takes the time it needs.

Yes: 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.

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.
Is the cake included?
The cake is agreed with the kitchen, together with the menu: desserts are made in house. The quote is put together after the visit, with the date, the guests and the dishes chosen.
Can we bring our own photographer and florist?
Yes: they are your suppliers. We only ask you to coordinate them with us on times and spaces, so the lunch does not clash with the photographs.
Where do we park?
In the village, a few minutes’ walk away. The road down to the bay is narrow: better to leave the car first. Castiglioncello station is close by.
