BOYT diners Trattoria Birra Moretti beer 'IIGrande Invito’
Abstract
Italian beer company Birra Moretti and celebrity chef Gennaro Contaldo are offering a free six course Italian dining experience to anyone who brings their own table to their restaurant in London’s Covent Garden.

The Trattoria Birra Moretti is the first in a series of ‘Il Grande Invito’ events, each designed to bring people together around tables in 2019. A recent survey revealed that 72% of Britons wish they spent more time with their family and friends.

Whether it’s coffee tables, garden tables or even pool tables, BYOT diners can bring any sort of table they want to the restaurant as long as they are large enough to seat at least four people.

Mouth-watering dishes from Gennaro’s exclusive menu, lasting from 12-15 June, include sweet and sour agrodolce di peperoni, slow cooked cuttlefish with wine, olives and plum tomatoes, a potato, pecorino, pancetta and Moretti tray bake, as well as lasagne made with a twist.

Contaldo commented, “If carrying a table through London to a restaurant doesn’t bring people closer to their friends and family, then the delicious food and drink surely will! I’m honoured to open the world’s first BYOT restaurant with Birra Moretti, and accept their ‘Il Grande Invito’ to bring people together around tables and share some of my favourite Italian recipes with the nation.”

Diners who don’t wish to – or can’t – bring a table of their own can hire one from the restaurant in return for making a £10 donation to Birra Moretti’s chosen charity, the Campaign to End Loneliness, which encourages people to connect and bring communities together.

Izabela Glodek, Birra Moretti marketing director, said: “There really is nothing better than enjoying great food and great beer around a table with the people you love.  

“Through ‘Il Grande Invito’, Birra Moretti is giving people across the country unique ways to come together around a table and spend quality time with those that matter in their lives.”
