A common habit enjoyed by Italian people is the art of Italian "aperitivo". It is a social habit of indulging in afternoon or pre-dinner drinks and snacks with friends. If you have been to Italy, the aperitivo culture is well practiced in bars and when Italians host guests for dinner. "Aperitivo" usually means "pre-dinner" and it is comprised of a cocktail and a beautiful spread of light bites before dinner starts.
