On Saturday, Aug. 15, Emeline is bringing the spirit of Italy to Charleston with Ferragosto: An Italian Summer Dinner, a one-night-only culinary experience during which the courtyard will transform into an Italian piazza celebrating the flavors, music and traditions of Italy's beloved midsummer gathering.
Hosted by the team behind Frannie & The Fox, the evening begins with an aperitivo in Emeline's Greenhouse and Courtyard, featuring an Aperol Spritz cart, Italian wines, seasonal canapés and chef-led stations. Guests will then gather beneath the stars for a four-course, family-style dinner showcasing seasonal Italian-inspired dishes designed to encourage connection and conversation.
As the evening continues, guests can enjoy Dolci & Dancing, featuring live music, interactive dessert stations and made-to-order cannoli prepared by Emeline's Cannoli Maestro. Rooted in the centuries-old tradition of Ferragosto — a holiday centered on community, food and the joy of gathering — the experience offers a taste of Italy in the heart of Charleston.
