The Art of the Aperitivo

On Friday, June 12, ENZO ushers in the season with The Art of the Aperitivo—a patio-forward evening marking the official launch of Apericena, Italy’s most civilized way to transition from day to night.

Designed as a high-end aperitivo hour, the experience unfolds across ENZO’s front and main patios with food and drink stations inviting guests to graze, sip, and move at their own pace. Expect charcuterie, cicchetti, pizzas, fries, and classic Italian small bites meant for sharing.

At the center of it all: a dedicated Negroni Corner pouring three expressions—Classic, Sbagliato, and White—paired with Venetian-style cicchetti, including crostini topped with whipped baccalà. Music sets the mood with Italian lounge sounds, nodding to the glamour and ease of mid-century evenings.

This launch sets the tone for a summer of Apericena at ENZO—social, unfussy, and built around the pleasure of gathering before dinner… or letting the night take over.

Tickets are $55 per person (plus tax and gratuity) and includes featured food offerings and two drinks from the Negroni Corner. 

Reservations and tickets available here.
