BEST APERITIF IN CORTONA
One of the most fun food experiences you can try in Italy is without doubt the Aperitivo ritual. It consists of a pre-dinner drink accompanied by some salty snacks but sometime it can turn in a real dinner with taste of real starter and main course, of course, plenty of friends to chat with. Apéritivo comes from the Latin verb aperire, which means “to open.” It usually involves a beverage served before a meal to stimulate the appetite or “to open the stomach”. From the traditional bar to the “Vinaio” and from amazing hotel rooftop terraces to historical cafes, Cortona offers countless spots to enjoy this social and tasty ritual.
