3 Tablescape Necessities for the Perfect Aperitivo Hour!
Glassware + Dishware
First and foremost, bring together your favorite glasses and dishware to curate a pretty table. I prefer vintage pieces for an eclectic, effortless feel.
Greenery + Flowers
Reach for a colorful arrangement, neutral flowers, or simple greenery and know that any of these additions bring life to your table. I love to gather greenery from outside and place it under serveware and plates; it’s always a thoughtful touch for added ambiance.
Music
Music sets the tone for any occasion, so choose wisely. Have a speaker and playlist prepared, cater to your crowd, and give them a reason to smile.
Food:
"An aperitivo hour, in my opinion, should be unfussy, easy, and shouldn’t involve a lot of cooking. It should be pantry items like olives, tin fish, chips, crackers, etc., that can be tossed in a bowl or a platter. In the summer, it should be peak produce that shines even on its own. So— I’m giving you three (3!!) of my favorite, peak summer, aperitivo hour snacks, to hopefully inspire your own."
