The “aperitivo” concept is an afternoon drink, meant to “open” the appetite and gives you a chance to socialize, relax, and enjoy various cocktails and nibble through different kinds of platter dishes. This concept is usually enjoyed by people right after work.

The social essence of “aperitivo” offers a moment of relaxation and the end of a day at work, shopping or an afternoon stroll where you can allow your self the pleasure of conversation paired with the satisfaction of good food and good company. This new trend sweeping through major cities in Europe is especially successful due to the Mediterranean passion for socializing.

    Good Food, Value for money, professional staff

    First time in 7 years in Cyprus I felt welcomed in a restaurant (Lounge/Bar). Formerly from the similar line of business guys at Aperitivo knows their business and clientle.

    Good food and absolute value for money that's a rare commodity here. Staff was absolutely fantastic. They do not disturb you while eating and also keep an eye on your table. you do not have to wait for long to ask for anything.

    Excellent food, good service, atmosphere and surroundings, valu for money

    This was my first time at the restaurant this lunchtime. Overall I was very impressed with the place.

    The food was good - there was a very large buffet selection and everything that we had was pretty good too.

    The cost was not bad - 5 people, with drinks, meal, coffee and dessert was 20 Euros per head.

    I am going to complain once again about something - THE SERVERS MUST BE ABLE TO SPEAK GREEK - it is VERY annoying when they do not.

    My review

    Aperitivo is a cool place to hang out during the day or in the evening. The food is good and the drinks are great. I prefer it in the summer though, when the outside patio is open.. In the winter it feels like an indoor smoking place; you have to search to find the little openings for fresh air, which would qualify it as “outdoors”, and that I find tricky..

    Great concept, great service, attention to detail

    Seriously a venue for all times of the day. Aperitivo has managed to be the perfect place for a morning coffee, a quick business lunch, after work drinks and club dancing, all at the same time. It's really quite remarkable

    I actually think I prefer it on a lazy afternoon more than when it's really busy, but it is also an ideal pre-club venue, the club being obviously Sfinakia, as it is a 2-minute walk, plus it is under the same ownership.

    God is in the details and at Aperitivo they do details well, like the free snacks (fruit and canapes) they give even before you order anything, as well as the wireless clickers that you can use to call a waiter or request the bill.

    It is really a phenomenon and a very carefully planned and successful concept.

    Great venue, pretty good food, great concept, superb execution

    Aperitivo burst onto to the Nicosia nightlife scene about 1.5 to 2 years ago with what was truly an innovative concept and approach.

    Depending on the time of day, it varies from being a business lunch venue to being a place for coffee to being a place for dinner or happy hour to being a bar to being a full-blown club.

    Few places have pulled this trick off and I think Aperitivo pulls it off best of all. Given its one owner's heritage at Sfinakia, it capably handles the bottle service and DJing parts of the week but, quite frankly, I was a bit surprised that they pulled off the food and non-club components off quite well also.

    Nice place for lunch and dinner any time. Friday and Saturday nights are reasonably busy but not ridiculous; Sunday night Greek party is possibly the busiest Sunday night in Nicosia and starts early (around 9-10pm).

    Given the mix of activities at Aperitivo, the crowd tends to draw from a broad age range - from mid twenties to mid fifties, so take that into account.

    Very Highly Recommended

    Good music, decent food, nice crowd

    This is a great standard bar during the week and weekend. The owner puts a lot of effort into various promotions and parties. The food is pretty good. There is outdoor space that is heated in winter and open in summer. The music is usually great. TV screens project Fashion TV all the time.
