Bellissimo! Where To Enjoy An Italian Aperitivo
Ah, la dolce vita! ‘Tis the season for orange drinks to be lapped up like they’re going out of fashion. Haven’t had an Aperol Spritz yet this summer? Whatcha playing at!
Yet, if you can’t quite jet to the trappings of Tuscany, or perhaps sinking a Campari in Capri is off the cards then don’t worry yourselves. London, too, plays host to a smorgasbord of famed Italian aperitivos, from Campari and Aperol Spritz to Negronis and bubbly…
Plus, it’s actually the 100th birthday of the Aperol Spritz this year so even more of a reason to celebrate, hey?
Quaglino's
We couldn’t not include place to be seen ‘Quags’ in our fave places to sip a spritz, especially as the sexy St. James’s space has just launched a Q Aperitivo to make Thursdays the new Friday this summer. Expect Italian music, Nessun Dooooorma, alongside traditional charcuterie platters and other cicchetti for free when you order any aperitivo cocktail. Now that’s a good ol’ deal!
‘Q Aperitivo’ comes to Quaglino’s every Thursday from 5-8pm!
Where: 16 Bury Street, London, SW1Y 6AJ, United Kingdom

The Bourne & Hollingsworth Bonanza
It’s party time at the Bourne & Hollingsworth building, as it floods guests with Aperol Spritz galore to celebrate the zingy drinks the 100th birthday. Put your hands together and raise a toast to the old chap with a Roman rooftop feast to boot. The weekend festivities rolls on for the weekend, Ferragosto style, beginning with an Aperol Spritz master class from an ambassador from Campari, followed by an meal in their epic dining room and a free two-night Italian street party on the 17th and 18th of August. Gosh, there’s so much going on we’re exhausted… pass us an Aperol Spritz!

Park Up In Caravan
Aperol yourselves silly at the Exmouth Market and Fitzrovia outposts of famed eatery Caravan this summer! Their delectable booze + bite offering does just what it says on the tin, for a tenner in fact, making leaving the office all that more exciting (and the Love Island blues a bit easier to cope with)! We’re talking Negronis with and jambon and smoked San Simon croquettes on Tuesdays, or Aperol Spritz with Jalapeño Cornbread on Wednesdays! Epic.
