When I moved to Geneva from Rome, back in 2004, one of the things I missed most was the Italian tradition of the "Aperitivo", that great habit to meet friends in a nice place or bar and have a chat in front of an apero, while tasting Italian tapas the "stuzzichini" ,that in any typical Italian bar or pub normally come with the drink. Duringmy last 10 years in I truly missed that unique evenings and their nice atmosphere !
Since last year, thanks to the initiative of a group of young Italians entrepreneurs, the team of
Quelli dell'Aperitivo Italiano , the Italian tradition of the aperitifs has become a reality also in Geneva.
The formula is very simple , the cost to attend the Aperitivo event is 25 CHF/person and includes one drink and the tapas . Enrollment is open to anyone via their website. The Italian aperitifs normally take place every two months in very nice locations in Geneva and are accompanied by live music, net a very nice way to spend an evening and to meet new people, and why not, to improve your Italian.
I attended their last event which was linked to an exhibition of old Fiat 500 ,I enjoyed it very much and had the chance to meet interesting people.
Next event is planned on Tuesday August 18, at the
Rooftop42 in the supercentral Rue du Rhone in Geneva,the view from there is break taking, do not miss it!
