CHRISTMAS AT ASK ITALIAN
HELLO EARLY BIRD!
If you’re here then you’re just as excited about Christmas as we are.
It’s coming. Whether you’re an early booker truther or not.
But that Christmas magic, the fuzzy-warm-can’t-quite-put-your-finger-on-it-festive-feeling doesn’t just happen. It’s down to you. So make those Christmas plans, reach out to the group chat and be the organiser extraordinaire that everyone thanks at the end.
Because you’re the magic maker. And it’s easy…
Great food. Great company. Pizza. Pasta. A prosecco, or two. Merriment to the max. And not to mention pigs in blankets as a side for every meal (and it be totally acceptable and frankly, encouraged).
Because…
Christmas happens when you ASK.
You send the invites. And we’ll host at ours.
