The evening begins with the ritualistic clinking of glasses as the sunset-hued spritz takes center stage at Apéritivo italien, signaling the start of a curated tasting journey in Rome. A sprawling tagliere misto arrives, showcasing 24-month aged Prosciutto di Parma and sharp Pecorino Romano, their savory profiles enhanced by the citrusy aroma of orange zest. The supplì are a highlight, featuring a crunchy breaded exterior that gives way to a velvety, mozzarella-filled center, prepared using traditional Roman frying techniques. Zucchini flowers are stuffed with anchovies and ricotta before being lightly battered and fried to a delicate crispness, offering a sophisticated interplay of textures. Hand-mixed cocktails are infused with Mediterranean herbs like rosemary and sage, providing a fragrant backdrop to the savory snacks. This experience transcends the typical happy hour, evolving into a sophisticated exploration of regional flavors and artisanal craftsmanship.
