A Capodanno, dopo che avremo finito di cenare, mangeremo un po’ d’uva e brinderemo con calma in soggiorno.

Here a is used in an idiomatic time expression. A Capodanno means at New Year / on New Year’s.

Italian often uses a with holidays and special occasions:

• a Natale
• a Pasqua
• a Capodanno

So this is not literally about movement toward something; it is just the normal preposition for this kind of time phrase.

Avremo finito is the future perfect. Italian uses it to show that one future action will be completed before another future action.

Here the sequence is:

1. first, we will finish dinner
2. then, we will eat some grapes and make a toast

So dopo che avremo finito di cenare means after we have finished having dinner.

This is very natural in Italian when talking about a completed action in the future that comes before another future action.

Because dopo che normally takes the indicative, not the subjunctive.

That is an important contrast with prima che, which usually does take the subjunctive:

• prima che arrivi = before he/she arrives
• dopo che arriva / dopo che sarà arrivato = after he/she arrives / after he/she has arrived

So in your sentence, avremo finito is an indicative future perfect, and that is exactly what you would expect after dopo che.

Finire di + infinitive means to finish doing something.

So:

• finire di cenare = to finish having dinner
• finire di studiare = to finish studying
• finire di parlare = to finish speaking

This structure is very common in Italian.

You could also hear things like finire la cena, but that focuses more on finishing the meal itself. Finire di cenare focuses on finishing the action of dining.

They are related, but not identical.

• cenare = to have dinner
• mangiare = to eat in a general sense

So the sentence is saying:

• first, we will finish dinner
• then, we will eat a little more, specifically some grapes

That is why both verbs can appear in the same sentence without being repetitive.

Because di usually becomes d’ before a vowel.

So:

• di + uva → d’uva
• di + acqua → d’acqua

Both parts are worth noticing:

• un po’ = a little / some
• d’uva = of grapes

So un po’ d’uva means a little grape / some grapes, with some grapes being the natural English meaning here.

Because po’ is a shortened form of poco.

The apostrophe shows that letters have been dropped:

• poco → po’

So the correct spelling is un po’, not un po.

In Italian, uva is often treated as a collective or mass noun. So even though English usually uses the plural grapes, Italian commonly uses singular uva.

That means:

• mangiare dell’uva
• comprare un po’ d’uva

are perfectly normal.

The plural uve exists, but it is less common in everyday speech and is often used for types or varieties of grapes, or in more technical contexts.

Brinderemo is the future tense of brindare.

It means:

• we will make a toast
• we will toast

If you want to say what you are toasting to, Italian often uses a:

• brindare al nuovo anno
• brindare agli sposi
• brindare alla salute

In your sentence, the object is simply left unstated, so brinderemo just means we’ll toast.

Con calma is a very common expression meaning:

• calmly
• without rushing
• at a relaxed pace
• leisurely

So brinderemo con calma suggests a relaxed, unhurried toast.

More generally, Italians use con calma a lot in everyday speech:

• Parla con calma = Speak calmly
• Lo facciamo con calma = We’ll do it without rushing

With rooms in a house, Italian often uses in without an article:

• in cucina
• in bagno
• in camera
• in soggiorno

So in soggiorno is very natural and means in the living room.

You can also say nel soggiorno, but that sounds a little more specific or descriptive, as if you are emphasizing the room itself. In many everyday contexts, in soggiorno is the more idiomatic choice.

Yes, there can be. In some Italian contexts, grapes are associated with good luck, abundance, and prosperity for the new year.

It is not the only New Year food tradition in Italy, and traditions can vary by region or family, but the idea of eating grapes around New Year is culturally understandable and fits a festive sentence like this one.
