Spaghetti and Meatballs with Hot Italian Sausage in Marinara over Angel Hair Pasta
Mixed Green Salad with a Balsamic Vinaigrette
Crusty Bread
and a good bottle of Chianti
Iced Tea for the little guys
For this Italian menu I set my table with my Vietri Contrada pattern.
A Fall tablesetting for sure. Placemats are a deep hunter green, stemware is recycled glass and a lighter green, napkins are from WS.
My everyday flatware is Horchow's hotel silver.
My Fitz and Floyd soup tureen is always on my table in the Fall and I couldn't forget about my little S&P that I found at a Cracker Barrell restaurant many years ago. I love these amber candle holders that I use often in the Fall.
This Vietri Contrada pattern is a favorite of mine most especially when I am serving an Italian themed dinner which I do very often. Italian foods are favorites of my family.
A wonderful evening catching up with the twin grandsons serving them their favorite dinner, it was a "Good Thing".

Those dishes are fabulous! You've shown them off beautifully with the green placemats and pretty napkins. I love that tureen!
