Aperitivo Bar: The Italian Ritual Opens Wednesday In Pennington, NJ

Get ready. The ultimate Happy Hour spot is ready to make its debut in Pennington, NJ.

It's called Aperitivo Bar and it's in the Pennington Shopping Center on Route 31. Opening day is Wednesday, March 6th.

It's a truly unique spot. Owner, John Procaccini, told me how excited he is for the community to experience this trendy new bar saying, "I'm going to bring Italy here."

Incase you're wondering where the name came from, Aperitivo is an Italian ritual...a beloved tradition. It literally means drinks before dinner.

"A ritual that sees us slow down, unwind, and enjoy relaxed moments with friends," according to Gretalia Hospitality Group's website.

You'll love the vibe. You'll feel like you're in Italy. It's chill and comfortable. The perfect place to meet friends after work for a cocktail or glass of wine and a little bite before dinner.

Yes, there's food. Along with drinks, you'll indulge in some of the best Italian small plates around...the Italian version of tapas.

Take a look at what's on the menu.

I love how the food is plated. Just enough for you and your co-workers or friends.

Is you mouth watering yet? Mine is.

Aperitivo Bar is just what you need after a long day.

Located in the Pennington Shopping Center on Route 31 in Pennington, NJ.

It's near the new seafood restaurant, Union Boil, and they have something in common. They're both owned by Gretalia Hospitality Group (which also owns PJ's Pancake House, Osteria Procaccini, Mi Espana, More than Q, and many more).

Don't miss out on this fabulous new place.
