Ogni giorno · From 17:00
L'ora dell'aperitivo.
The most beloved Italian ritual — that golden hour between work and dinner. A spritz, a few bites, the day unwinding around you.
At L'Essenziale, aperitivo is not a happy-hour discount. It's a way of being. Pull up a stool at the bar, or settle in at a shared table on the terrace.
