4 of the best Aperitivo deals in Dubai right now
Not quite dinner, not quite a night out but Aperitivo sits somewhere in between. What exactly is it, you might ask? Well, Aperitivo is an Italian tradition and refers to enjoying a pre-dinner drink, typically alcoholic, accompanied by light snacks. It's a cultural ritual focused on socialising and relaxation before a meal, stimulating appetite with drinks that are often bitter or dry. Perfect for when the day is done and dinner isn't the move. This tradition started in the piazzas of northern Italy and was never meant to be formal. Just the chilled kind of early evening that involves a cocktail, a snack, and a view. Dubai, of course, has its own way of doing it and you don't need to be in Milan for it to feel like Aperitivo. Here are four of the best Aperitivo deals in Dubai right now.
