The Apperitivo

So Italy has this thing they call the Apperitivo, very similar to Americas happy hour. If you come, this is something you HAVE to get. They offer one at a restaurant most of the students go to called Ganzo. What you do is pay 4 euro for a drink. This could be wine, alcohol, etc. But I must first warn you that Italy is not stingy with there alcohol. This could be a good or bad thing, depending on the person. They give you this large glass of alcohol to drink. You then are able to have a mini-buffet of food, available for about 3 hours. When I went they had this delicious jambalaya, pasta of course, little sandwiches, nachos, bread with mean baked into it, kish, and more. I ate until I was stuffed. It was actually during the night of an art gallery, which had some portraits that my roommates did in it. So there were paintings, an unlimited amount of food, Americans, and Italians, plus music. The atmosphere was great.
