In Italy, before dinner, people enjoy a special drink called an aperitif. It’s not just a drink; it’s a fun and tasty tradition that brings friends and family together.

Aperitivo is an integral part of Italian culture, a pre-dinner drink ritual typically accompanied by light snacks intended to stimulate one’s appetite and facilitate socializing before a meal. This tradition, prevalent in Northern Italy, usually takes place between 6:00 pm and 8:00 pm. However, the timing can vary depending on the region and individual preferences.
