A typical evening at Lake Garda

A successful evening in Italy begins with an aperitif before dinner. You can meet in a bar on the beach or in the centre of the village and end the day with a delicious drink. They usually serve aperitivo with snacks such as nuts, chips or olives. In many bars, there is also the "Aperitivo Italiano" which is a delicious offering of appetisers and specialities from the region. Particularly popular aperitivi are the Pirlo or Spritz, with Prosecco, Aperol or Campari and mineral water, or the refreshing Hugo, with Prosecco, elderflower syrup, mineral water and fresh mint. The word "aperitivo" refers to both the drink, as well as the custom of small bites before dinner.
