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.
