Notes

Italian wedding food ideas that work outdoors in Tuscany

What actually works when the kitchen is a field and it is thirty-four degrees.

Neapolitan pizza being prepared outdoors at a Tuscan wedding celebration

Outdoor weddings in Tuscany are lovely in photographs and demanding in practice. Heat, distance from any kitchen and a guest list spread across nationalities all narrow the menu.

What outdoor service asks of the food

  • It has to be cooked on site, not held warm for two hours
  • It has to suit guests eating standing up
  • It has to work for children, older guests and fussy eaters at once
  • It has to cope with dietary requirements without a separate kitchen

Why pizza fits

It is cooked in front of guests and eaten immediately, needs no plates and cutlery to be taken seriously, and is the one Italian dish nobody has to be persuaded to try. Our dough is authentic Neapolitan, T.O.P.N., matured for 24 hours.

Dietary requirements

Vegetarian and gluten-free options are available. Tell us the numbers at booking so they are prepared properly rather than improvised on the night.

Adding antipasti and drinks

Pizza + Beverage adds still water, beer, Coca-Cola, spritz and prosecco. Pizza + Beverage + Antipasti adds starters as well. For 50 to 70 guests those come to €4,050 and €5,100, VAT and transport included.

Who we are

A Neapolitan pizzaiolo who has lived in Siena for fifteen years and also runs the pizzeria La Napoletana 2.0, listed by 50 Top Pizza among the Pizzerie Eccellenti 2021.
