Ciao Lourdes,
My fiance & I (based in America) will be getting married in Florence next summer - We are so excited!
To properly welcome our guests, we would like to host a welcome/rehearsal dinner for everyone. Any chance you might be able to recommend a restaurant or two?
A few more details...
Who: ~50 people
Where: Somewhere within Florence's City Center
What: Traditional Italian
Price: Something reasonable (not sure what that might be yet, but we know that we do not want this meal to compete with the actual wedding, both in terms of luxury & price)
One idea I had was a nice pizzeria where we could order lots of pizzas and house wine.
A few questions I have, besides where to go - Do you think a restaurant will be able to accomodate a group of this size? If I call to reserve the restaurant, is the idea of a welcome/rehearsal dinner common to Italians as well, or will this be difficult to convey in translation? Any idea if we will receive opposition to a "set menu"?
I'm sure these are very specific questions that are likely challenging to answer without having direct experience with such requests... so, with that being said, any assistance is greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!
