    Lovely ambience and great music. Nice selection of Italian 'tapas' which were delicious. The Fritto Misto was very tasty as was the polpette. We also had pasta cacio e pepe and carbonara which were perfect. Bruschetta was only ok - the bread was fab but the tomatoes were regular, not very ripe, cherry tomatoes not the promised plum variety. With a large bottle of Peroni and a delicious negroni and two sambucas on ice, the bill was €107 including their self calculated tip of €12. A complimentary limoncello each was a nice touch. Service was very friendly and efficient and there was a lovely buzz. We will definitely be back.

    I went to Aperitivio for my Christmas meals with three of my girlfriends. From start to finish it was absolutely divine. The servers (Daniel and Esther) were gorgeous and Alex who was taking care of us was extremely attentive and fun (killer combination for a waiter). The food was delicious, particularly the gnocchi & the insalata pesto. Drinks were very reasonable. Cannot recommend more!

    Food was delicious! Would return for the food alone. Very cramped and tight, tables are very close to each other. The female waiter (looked like a manager) was amazing. She was so friendly and efficient. The male waiter made us feel very rushed. He told us twice how long we had left, even though we only ordered a glass of wine each and three dishes each. We arrived after both couples beside us and left before them, they were both still drinking their bottle of wine and having dessert as we were leaving. When we paid, he told us we still had ten minutes. Completely unnecessary as we had nothing left on our table and were clearly about to leave. Felt like he was trying to back track a bit for being rude, but possibly not. If it is restaurant policy to tell customers how much time they have, he needs to learn how to do it in a nicer way. Food was delicious, but very cramped and we felt very rushed. It put a dampener on what was supposed to be a nice Christmas celebration.
