al·fres·co [al-fres-koh] –adverb
Alfresco/ al-fresco is an italian word that essentially means in the fresh (air) or in a cool place, but it was adopted into the english language to mean; out-of-doors; in the open air: to dine alfresco. It simply sounds more romantic to dine alfresco than to just eat outside. However you want to say it; it is one of the true pleasures of summer.
