So, I realize I'm still a foreigner living in Italy, but that doesn't mean I can't have an opinion on apertivo spots. Maybe I'm not fully understanding the concept of apertivo, but I've been to several and this place was my least favorite. It was really crowded, so maybe I'm missing something.
First, it's 9 euro, which is the most I've ever spent on apertivo. I mean, it's just a euro or two more, but still.
Second, the drink menu is extensive, but when they list a fruit on the menu, they actually mean the fruit syrup, complete with artificial coloring and artificial flavor. My friend ordered a lychee drink and it was bright blue, and my kiwi grapefruit cocktail was St. Patty's Day green.
Third, they offer many types of food, and it is replenished frequently, but it's all low quality and low budget. Mediocre at best.
The atmosphere was strange. Bright lights, really loud and crowded. Our table was in a corner and it was like an obstacle course to grab our food. They should reconsider their layout.
The location is not immediately near any of the metro stops. We walked for ten minutes from XVVI Dicembre. Waste of energy. read more
