Italian Dinnerware and Serving Dishes

Whether you're dining in Italy or just dreaming of it, Italian dinnerware from Williams Sonoma will give all of your meals a bit of European flair. These gorgeous plates, bowls and serving dishes take design inspiration from traditional Sicilian ceramics and feature bright, beautiful colors that pop against white tablecloths or placemats. Browse the Italian dishware collection at Williams Sonoma to create a Mediterranean-inspired tableware set for indoor or outdoor dining.

Italian Dining Essentials

With their bold, intricate blue and yellow designs, the plates and bowls in the Italian dinnerware collection command attention. The beautifully detailed rims and exteriors are hand-painted in a brilliant blue for an authentic rustic look. Since they all share a similar color palette, it's easy to mix-and-match different pieces to create a set that suits your entertaining style. They also pair well with simple solid white, blue or yellow dishes.

The Italian tableware items in this collection include dinner plates, salad or appetizer plates and generously-sized pasta bowls. While most are available individually, some come in sets of four, with each piece featuring a slightly different pattern. Most of these plates and bowls are crafted of durable stoneware with a stunning glossy finish for indoor use, but there are a few options crafted of melamine that are suitable for outdoor use. Complete your Mediterranean dinner table with Italian linen napkins in neutral shades like white, cream or flax, stainless steel flatware and a few pillar candles as the table centerpiece.

Italian Serving Dishes

To create a well-rounded Italian dishware collection, you'll need to consider not only the dishes you'll eat from but the ones you'll use to serve as well. Italian serving dishes feature the same beautiful patterns as the plates and bowls in this collection but can hold several portions of food at once. Large rectangular or oval serving platters are great for serving items like appetizers, side dishes and desserts. For pasta dishes, salads, roasted meats or any saucy main course, pasta serving bowls are a great option. These serving bowls and platters are available in durable, glazed stoneware or outdoor-friendly melamine. Pair these dishes with wooden or stainless steel serving forks and spoons to portion out the meal onto dinner plates.

Give indoor or outdoor dining tables a major upgrade with items from the Italian dinnerware collection from Williams Sonoma. Mix-and-match the beautifully patterned plates, bowls and serving dishes to create a Mediterranean-inspired dining set for everyday meals or special occasions. Complete the table look with neutral Italian linens and a few simple decor items to keep the attention focused on the lovely dinnerware.
