Spread

English to Italian Other General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters Spread
Ciao,
sto traducendo un testo di narrativa che dice:

With a full spread on the table, I start the coffee machine just as my husband walks into the kitchen. His hair is wet, and he’s wearing a pair of lounge pants low on his waist.

A cosa potrebbe riferirsi? Grazie!

English term (edited): table spread
Selected

tavola imbandita

Non conoscendo il contesto più di tanto, se s'intende "table spread":a meal, especially one for a special occasion with a lot of different dishes arranged on a table, sarebbe tavola imbandita.
Example sentence:

In the sky appears a table spread with food and drink from which the two initiates can take refreshment before continuing their trial.

a spread (of food)
In casual English, "a spread" is a big table full of food that's being offered to guests at a party, a conference, for holidays, etc. This phrase brings to mind the picture of lots of different dishes spread out over a table. Use it like this:

Look at this spread! Oh my goodness, it must have taken you forever to cook all this.

They've got a pretty decent spread here tonight.
