Aperitivo is a family-run business providing you with a new way of eating in a surrounding of relaxing, 1940’s-inspired décor.

L’aperitivo, as it’s known in Italy, originated in Milan and has spread throughout the whole country, quickly becoming a much-loved part of Italian culture. And now it has arrived to Aberdeen!

Traditionally, l’aperitivo was an opportunity to catch up with friends, unwind after a long day and indulge one’s appetite with an aperitif : a glass of wine or a beer, while snacking on some home-made local dishes. Aperitivo has taken those principles and provided a new way of eating. We introduced a Sicilian twist to the Scottish tradition, with our menu offering a wide selection of freshly prepared dishes, in order to give you a taste of southern Italy while using the best local produce.

We create dining to suit your appetite – enjoy a dish or two for lunch, have a quick snack, or create your own mezze-style meal to complement a bottle of wine. You choose!
