- The Italian Aperitivo – "I love the concept of the Italian aperitivo. It's a simple idea and a very social and functional way of meeting up with friends, having a cocktail, and enjoying hors d'oeuvres. Now it may sound similar to going out for tapas as they do in Spain, or enjoying happy hour as done in the U.S.; however, the aperitivo is an event in and of itself." – Posted: 01/05/2015 11:00 am EST | Updated: 03/07/2015 5:59 am EST –Andrea Adams, Co-Founder, Travelista TV – "About Us" – Source: Found in the HUFFPOST TASTE section on The Huffington Post (Edition: U.S.) – "Breaking News and Opinions"

- Italian Table Talk: The aperitivo – "It’s early evening, you’ve finished work and are ready to wind down. Perhaps you’re also a tiny bit hungry, or, at least, are at that point where you start imagining what you’ll be eating for dinner. You’re on your way home and perhaps it’s a place on the way, your regular, where you know you’ll bump into a friend or two and a drink is in order, along with some nibbles. Nothing that will ruin your appetite for dinner, of course, anzi (quite the contrary), something that will help it along. That’s the aperitivo." – on Tuesday, July 30, 2013 – Posted by Emiko Davies – "About" – Source: EMIKO DAVIES – "Food writing & photography"
