Apericena is an Italian evening tradition that’s a mix between an aperitivo (pre-dinner drinks with small snacks) and cena (dinner). Unlike a typical aperitivo with just olives or chips, apericena includes a full buffet of food, enough to replace a proper dinner.
When you order a drink—like a cocktail, spritz, or wine—you also get access to a variety of dishes, which might include:
• Pasta, rice, or couscous salads
• Pizza slices
• Cold cuts and cheeses
• Vegetables and finger foods
• Small desserts
It’s usually served in the evening, often from 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm, and is very popular in Italy, especially in cities like Milan.
