Description

“Aperitivo” or “Apero” is an integral part of the Italian lifestyle: it is the daily ritual of meeting in the late afternoon or evening for cocktails and snacks. As a renowned food and entertainment design expert, and currently restoring a castle in Tuscany, Annette Joseph is an authentic and experienced guide to Italy’s dolce vita.

With chapters in twelve major cities along the Italian Riviera (including San Remo, Genoa, Portofino, and Santa Margarita), each will feature unique cocktail recipes, as well as regional appetizers traditionally served with cocktails, often as a ritual alongside to the beach. You’ll also find sidebars offering detailed information on local distilleries, famous bartenders, cultural idiosyncrasies of bar life, famous hotels, and much more.
