We loved this restaurant! Bryan was our server and he was incredibly nice and helpful. We were visiting from out of town and he gave us plenty of recommendations. He made amazing lattes and we got The Wise Guy and Big Mick sandwiches. Both were amazing and filling. We highly recommend this restaurant and the great service!

Stopped in for the Happy Hour specials right before a concert. The service was good, the drinks hit the spot right, but the spaghetti and meatball… the Caesars salads were pretty good. Even for happy hour prices, let’s get back to the spaghetti and meatball. The sauce didn’t have any flavor and tasted watered down and the meat ball was hideous. Not even on par with subway meatballs. Nonetheless I’d be back for the drinks and salad

Had a lovely happy hour – drink and food specials from 4 to 6pm, plus the regular menu was available. We had the cheese and charcuterie plate and a pizza- along with drinks. The food had a nice presentation, the charcuterie plate had a nice variety of items – fresh fruit, cheese, candied pecans, dried cranberries, mustard and jam… I couldn’t stop munching it was so delish!

My Salad was on a large side, yet..the tuna tasted fishy. All sauce is homemade. The music choices with the scene inside didn’t go well. Service is a bit on the slow side. I ended up leaving my salad behind. The appetizer came after the meal was served. Ordered hummus. Was a small portion but was good.

Delicious coffee and food options. Attentive and friendly service. Had a really great lunch in a beautiful, historic setting. Looks like there’s a small patio to enjoy outdoor seating as well. Will definitely be back!

Beautiful space! Went during happy hour and instead of drink specials, you get a complimentary “Aperitivo”. Today was a chorizo quesadilla with salsa verde. I had a mojito that was freshly muddled along with the cevapcici & Caesar salad. Can’t wait to go back to try more menu items!

We hosted our rehearsal dinner at Aperitivo the night before our wedding. It was hosted on the right side of the restaurant in a private room with beautiful cream brick walls and our space was set for 50. More than enough room to fit all 50 of us. There were high-top tables set for folks to stand as well. We never felt crowded.

Expectations temper an experience. With the name Aperitivo and the website’s concept, I expected what I encountered in Milan, where almost every block has an elegant bar serving stylish small bites and aperitifs. Stylish, exuding that European caché, the Milanese pose and prance before and after dinner at these bars. They are very cool.
