Brithday dinner in Casena Mongerrati

To celebrate her 40th birthday, Cristina decided to mark this major milestone with a big party in Sicily, choosing some of the island’s most evocative spots, such as Cefalù and Casena Mongerrati, as the setting.

The celebrations were spread over three incredible days, organised by wedding & event planner Marta Decente, and attended by guests from all over the world.

Sicilian chef Davide Fecarotta took care of them in the kitchen, delighting guests with the best traditional Sicilian dishes. The highlight of the event was the birthday dinner: on a pleasant early June evening, an imperial table was set in the lush garden of Casena Mongerrati featuring the most representative Sicilian motifs and symbols. In this marvellous setting, guests enjoyed a menu inspired by the island’s tradition, from the famous seafood ‘coppu’ to the dessert.
