Everything You Need to Throw a Dream Spring Dinner
April 26, 2024
It’s spring, and we’re officially in the mood to dine outside. So, in the spirit of the season, we went to Cucina Melissa for a seasonal menu befitting our dream outdoor meal. Set in Jenni’s backyard, every element—from the recipes to the tabletop—was nothing less than perfection, and now we’re sharing all the details.

The Ambience
It wouldn’t be an al fresco meal without the perfect outdoor setting—and we can’t imagine a better seat in the backyard than an Outdoor Vista Dining Chair situated around its perfect counterpart, the Outdoor Vista Dining Table. Inspired by classic picnics, but refined in every sense, each piece makes dining outside more comfortable than you can imagine.

At the Table
Next, of course, comes setting the table. With the lush natural landscape of Jenni’s backyard, a simple tablescape does more than the trick. Classic glassware, Pacific Dinnerware, and a few well-placed florals created the perfect understated yet impactful backdrop to an inspired dinner menu.

On the Menu
Speaking of dinner, we couldn’t have dreamt up a more perfect meal—which is why we asked Melissa for her expertise. She, of course, exceeded expectations with a spring-worthy array of truly tempting dishes: artichoke with miso aioli, radicchio salad, a ricotta and kumquat mouse—plus a frozen paloma for toasting the occasion.
