Different from going out to eat in the United States, Italia is known for their "aperitivos". Restaurants will provide an aperitivo from 6-9 p.m in the evenings, It is Italy's "happy hour" of relaxation and catching up with friends while enjoying the most delicious Italian appetizers. Most come with wine and other beverages. The food includes different types of pasta, vegetables, cold cuts, pizza, and a variety of side dishes to enjoy.
Miscellanea: My own personal favorite aperitivo in Roma, a perfect example of a Roman aperitivo. It is one of the easiest restaurants to find as it sits directly to the right of the pantheon. Enjoy a night of unlimited wine and some ridiculously amazing Italian food. This restaurant will start you off with some cold cuts that include slices of prosciutto, ham, and salami provided with of course an endless amount of freshly baked Italian bread. Next, the servers will bring out slices of pizza. Who doesn't love real Italian pizza? Following the pizza, assuming you are still hungry for more, (you are in Italia after all), prepare yourself for a plate of penne, gnocchi, spaghetti, or whatever type of pasta served on the menu that night. You may think you are full after all these appetizers, but get ready for dessert! Typical desserts served at Miscellanea include the infamous tiramisu and lemon cake. Finish off the night with a sparkling wine and a belly full of marvelous Italian cuisine.
This is only one example. You can have a satisfying aperitivo around almost any corner as you stroll through Roma. Even better is enjoying an aperitivo as you tram your way through all the top Roma attractions. Tram Tracks provides a top notch Aperitivo throughout the night. What better way to experience one than with Tram Tracks, listening to live music, and going through Roma all at the same time. As the Italians say before every meal, "Buon 'Appetito!"
