Italy does so many things right, especially when it comes to enjoying food, drink, and socializing. Aperitivo is one of those things, and the newly opened Ciao Ciao Piadina has captured the spirit of the Italian tradition and brought it to La Jolla.

What is Aperitivo?

Aperitivo is the Italian tradition of meeting with friends after work to enjoy a light alcoholic beverage and salty snack, to prep the palate before your meal. It’s the equivalent of the American happy hour but done in an oh-so-Italian way.
