There’s a new reason to stop by Trattoria That’s Amore in the afternoon: we’re bringing the true Italian aperitivo to Amsterdam, every day from 16:00 to 18:00.
For €10, enjoy an Aperol Spritz — or another drink of a similar value — together with a selection of classic Italian sfiziosità. Think olives, crunchy tarallucci, little focaccia or other small savoury bites, served at the table with your drink.
Just as aperitivo should be.
What is a true Italian aperitivo?
In Italy, aperitivo begins when the day starts to slow down. Work is over, dinner can wait, and there’s time for a drink, a few bites and a conversation that doesn’t need to be rushed.
It’s not really about what you order. It’s about sitting around a table, sharing something small to eat and letting one drink turn into a little time spent together.
And there’s another important part of the tradition: Italian hospitality.
With a true aperitivo italiano, the little things to eat are part of the welcome. You order your drink and a few savoury bites arrive at the table with it. Olives, tarallucci, focaccia and other sfiziosità aren’t something you need to order separately: they’re offered for everyone at the table to share and enjoy.
It’s a simple gesture of hospitality, but an important part of the experience. The food accompanies the drinks, gives everyone another reason to linger around the table and turns an afternoon drink into a moment to enjoy together.
And while the Spritz has become one of the most famous symbols of the Italian aperitivo, it’s certainly not the only option. Aperitivo is less about what’s in your glass and more about the moment itself: a good drink, something tasty on the side and time to enjoy both.
It’s this relaxed Italian tradition that we want to bring to That’s Amore.
So whether you’re finishing work, exploring Amsterdam or meeting friends before dinner, stop by between 16:00 and 18:00, order a Spritz and enjoy a few Italian bites on us.
A little taste of everyday Italian life, right here in Amsterdam.
See you at That’s Amore!
