L'Aperitivo Italiano

Italians in DC organizes a monthly L'Aperitivo Italiano which we enjoy attending.


So, why the name "Aperitivo"? The name comes from the latin aperire (to open). It used to be an alcoholic beverage consumed before dinner, with ancient medicinal origins as a concoction to cure the lack of appetite. These days in Italy, Aperitivo is used to define first and foremost a ritual, a social happening, a moment of relaxation where people exit the work mode, meet up with friends, chat while enjoying a drink (alcoholic or not) and some appetizers before dinner, which usually happens later on in the night.

Special thanks to Ivan Butina and the Italians in DC for making the L'Aperitivo Italiano happen each month.

If you missed the last L'Aperitivo Italiano, we hope to see you at the next event. Stay tuned for date, time and place!
