The perfect serve course
The Ritual
Aperitivo; derived from the Latin Aperire, meaning to open.
It is a term that transcends its origin, establishing a category of drinks, bar-oriented food and more importantly, the Ritual that people across the peninsula of Italy partake in every single day.
Think of it as a convivial, joyous moment to say farewell to the stresses of the day and welcome the enjoyment of the night.

Drinks
These will more often than not feature bitter-sweet and low-ABV drinks that create an appetite stimulating effect.

Place
You'll find aperitivo occurring not so much in the home, but in public spaces that encourage socialising; like bars, cafes & taverns in the centre of every town, village and city.

Connection
Whether you are attending Aperitivo with your friends, family or just taking a moment by yourself, the connective nature of how Italians enjoy this ritual is the reasoning for it being a must-do activity for anyone living or visiting.

Food
Even though most will consider the drinks the star of Aperitivo, we cannot forget the importance the food has here; giving a sense of regionality to the experience.
