PIZZA NIGHT
We have a traditional pizza oven in which we can make fantastic pizza’s. The pizza oven needs a 2 day (!) fire preparation for the optimal pizza’s.
Since the pizza oven is directly situated next to the wall of the house, we only use the pizza oven in cooler months of the year. The pizza oven cannot be used in the months July & August (it’s just too hot).
In the other months we are happy to organise a pizza night for you.
The pizza oven needs to be taken care of by a real pizzaiolo (a professional pizza maker).
He or she will bring the dough, ingredients for the pizza, the sauce and wood to start the fire. Together with the pizzaiolo you work on the dough, create your pizza with your favourite toppings and put it in the oven. Just a few minutes and it’s ready to eat!
Since the pizza oven requires a lot of preparation time, the minimum group for a pizza night is 10 persons. The price per person is €35 and is directly paid to the pizzaiolo.
It includes the full oven service, setting up and cleaning up, pizza doughs & toppings.
You are invited to bring your own drinks, sides & desserts.
BBQ NIGHT
A barbecue night at IL POSTO holds a full service: Your table is set up, your meat and sides will be served and you have all the time to enjoy time with your family and friends. After the dinner you don’t need to worry about cleaning up: we got it!
You are of course invited to help and see the cooking on the bbq, but you are also welcome to just relax and wait for the food to come!
All the meats and fish used for the barbecue come from local farmers. The quality of the products is high, the taste is pure.
