A very special Italian Aperitivo

It serves 6 people.

Aperitivo is the time when you catch up with friends while sipping a drink and nibbling on appetisers. It's perfect for your upcoming parties!

It’s after work, it’s before cinema, before dinner, before a party, before a dinner party. Very often it is the dinner party.

Every good aperitivo has something alcoholic to drink. The aperitivos range from a glass of wine to prosecco to vermouth to cocktails (Spritz for example) to beer, but some new generation mindful drinks are even better. They are brilliant mixer too.

The range of the food is gloriously broad, from vegan cheese to myriad of bruschettas to fresh veggies, nuts and crisps.

Aperitivos are a casual affair, no one needs to be stuck in the kitchen or behind the bar. No cooking is required. You’re buying food to be nicely placed on serving plates.
