Italian themed eve - ok for food n drink, but decorations??

[secondhoneymoon]

I enjoy themed evenings, with food and drink from a specific country, appropriate background music etc. I like to add a few relevant decorations - nothing too much but just to tip a wink at the theme. When I did a Mexican eve, I bought cacti for the table, and had some Mexican Servietten I got from Aldi ages ago. But am not the sort of person who would go the whole hog with sombreros and ponchos
I am going to have an Italian eve next. Am ok with food and drink but not sure about subtle table decorations - any ideas?

The table laid in red white and green, e.g. White cloth, red flowers, green napkins, or red white and green candles?

A tray with Italian liqueurs and apéritifs?

Glass bowl of pasta shapes on the table tied with red/green/white ribbon?

Fab ideas - thank you, exactly the sort of thing I was after x

I actually have red, white and green table cloths (3 separate single colour cloths) which I might be able to layer up. I've also got some multicoloured pasta which seemed like a good idea at the time for a stocking filler but doesn't look that appetising to eat - would be perfect for creating decorations!

What's your menu honey ? Should be a great night!

Wine bottles/decanters with candles in them.

Red and white checkered tablecloth with green napkins.

Anything with embroidered fruits on them

(Thinking of my Nonna's kitchen)

Ah, Xpost.

Thread a few pasta shapes onto a short piece of elastic and use as napkin rings!

Paint empty wine bottles and use as candle holders (or leave clear and use sand to fill half)

Red check napkins

You are amazing people!! Menu not fully decided but as it's a rotational thing and we're all busy working Mums so we've agreed not to go mad food wise. I will do some antipasti, and then make a big pizza and a pasta dish with salad. Dessert some kind of cake with fruit and ice cream. Will serve prosecco, maybe bellinis to start, a variety of Italian wines, then vin santo with biscotti, amaretto with amaretti and limoncello. Am I missing anything obvious?

Reading this in my hot and stuffy Italian apartment. Sounds yummy to me! Tiramisu is surprisingly easy to make if you want an authentic dessert?

Lemons and Limoncello ;)

I know too many people who don't like tiramisu - that said it's so very easy guess I could make that and something else

A Pasta Centerpiece inside glass bottles, glasses and some fresh flowers on using red and green accents would look nice.
