Celebrate like family
Birthdays, christenings and anniversaries at one shared table: antipasti to share, homemade pasta, wood-fired pizza and dolci to finish. We'll agree on the menu with you in advance.
Occasions that call for a long table
Most family celebrations with us begin with a platter in the middle of the table and end with nobody wanting to get up. Three occasions come up particularly often.
Birthdays
From an early-afternoon children's birthday to a milestone celebration in the evening. Feel free to bring the cake yourself — we'll provide plates, a cake server and a spot for it.
Christenings and communions
After the celebration in the old town, it's just a few minutes to us at Marlesgrube 14. We set the table so there's room for a pram and a high chair.
Anniversaries and family gatherings
A silver wedding anniversary, a grandparent's birthday, or simply relatives who rarely get together: one continuous table instead of scattered tables for two.
Process
From enquiry to dolce
We plan a family celebration in manageable steps. You tell us the occasion, the date and roughly how many people, and we work out everything else together — usually in a short conversation at the restaurant, where you can see the table arrangement on the spot.
You get in touch by phone or via the reservation form with the occasion, preferred date, time and number of guests. We check which table area is available and hold the date for you on a non-binding basis. For christenings and milestone birthdays, we recommend four to six weeks' notice, and a little earlier for weekends.
Over an espresso, we go through the celebration together: seating plan, timing, children's seats, table decorations and your ideas for the food. You see the room in person and can quickly tell whether the long table at the back or a quieter nook by the wall suits you better.
We put together a menu or a selection of antipasti from our menu that suits the size of your group. We note down any intolerances, vegetarian courses and children's portions by name, so nothing needs to be asked about on the evening itself.
You receive the arrangements in writing: date, time slot, number of guests, menu sequence and the price range per person. You can still adjust the number of guests up until the day before the celebration, and make smaller changes even after that.
The table is set when you arrive. One member of our service team accompanies your celebration throughout, takes drink orders at the table and coordinates with you on when the courses and the cake should be served. The bill can be settled as one, or split, as you've arranged beforehand.
Occasions
Every occasion has its own rhythm
A christening at midday runs differently from a birthday in the evening. That's why we plan time slots, courses and seating differently depending on the occasion. Here's what we pay attention to for the celebrations that take place with us most often.
