The Art of Aperitivo with Lina Huring
Lina Huring is a designer and food creator who has been living in Milan, where aperitivo stopped being a drink and became a way of living. This is her ongoing love letter to that ritual, and here five best hacks for a joyful, stress-free moment before (or beyond) dinner — here’s what she has to say. The key to aperitivo is simplicity.

What sets aperitivo apart from *just a drink* is what we eat. There’s no single correct version. Aperitivo is whatever you have on hand, and you adjust the effort to match your energy. Plain chips and olives are good enough. It’s never the star, always the transition. It comes as it is, and it doesn’t judge. The beauty of aperitivo is that it’s the beginning of something: an evening, an adventure, the rest of your life.
