Aperitivo at Contini George Street

Across Italy, in the crescent of space between work and leisure, savoury bites and cocktails are eternally coupled in an amorous ritual.

It is a state of mind, an essence of joy in its purest form. 

The Italians call it Aperitivo

Available 3-5pm Monday – Friday

Quote’ Aperitivo’ when booking.
