Food: Ravioli and Co.
In Italy, the aperitivo is a vintage tradition where locals round off the working day by gathering at the bar for beverages and nibbles before heading home for dinner. While the folklore custom began in Milano, over the years, it’s become synonym with the Italian culture. Stemming from old-style Italy, aperitivo highlights the notion that mamma’s food is best and brings together family at the dinner table every night. Dubai’s authentic Italian trattoria, Ravioli & Co. brings one of Italy’s most fun food experiences to the UAE, as they launch Domenica Italiana, a full evening of pre-dinner beverages and snacks.
