sentarse a la mesa
Explanation:
...que han redescubierto el placer de comer bien y sano y de compartir la cocina y el sentarse juntos a la mesa.

Cuidado, porque "sobremesa" es el momento después de la comida mientras en italiano "stare a tavola" es justamente el momento DE estar en la mesa para comer.

El sobremesa en italiano se puede llamar "dopo pranzo".

Saludos,
Flavio

disagree  Flavio Ferri-Benedetti: Hola Yolanda - me temo que no es lo mismo. Sobremesa es "el tiempo que se está a la mesa después de haber comido" (RAE) -- "stare a tavola" es estar en la mesa PARA comer, o sea "el momento de la comida/cena"...

la buena mesa


Explanation:
Me gusta la opción de Flavio, es la más exacta. Si quisieras poner una traducción menos literal y más coloquial, podrías decir: "... el placer de compartir la cocina y la buena mesa (o también el momento de la comida).
