It all began in August 2020 with a simple idea: our founder, Alberto, hosted a casual gathering with a few friends in a coffee shop. After a long period of self-isolation due to the pandemic, people longed for social interactions, and the attendees positively welcomed this get-together. From then on, every month, Alberto organised gatherings whereby more and more people joined in.
Our development from a small gathering in a coffee shop to the thriving community that is The Aperitif has been a remarkable journey. What started with a handful of people quickly transformed into a network as attendees began bringing friends, colleagues, and acquaintances. To keep things fresh and exciting, we decided to switch up our venues every month, offering our attendees diverse settings and atmospheres.
As our numbers grew, we recognised the importance of expanding our horizons. We aimed to attract professionals from various industries, limiting attendees within the same field to foster diverse interactions and enrich networking opportunities. Last year, we decided to launch a new concept to elevate the value of our gatherings further, whereby we introduced occasional guest speakers who share their insights and knowledge.

Aperitif - February 26th
Between winter’s calm and spring’s promise, February carries its own kind of energy: subtle, steady and quietly addictive. There is a theory that we seek small surges of joy to balance the slower days. Perhaps that is what our Aperitif has become for many - a healthy ritual that lifts the spirit and keeps the mind inspired.
Join us this February for an evening that blends good company with that familiar spark of satisfaction, the one that makes you glad you came.

December Event
December gave us a rare pause.
The last Aperitif of the year felt exactly like that: a moment to slow down, look back and simply be present. Conversations were easy and unhurried, the room was full of warmth and laughter and the festive mood made everything feel lighter. It wasn’t about closing the calendar, but about sharing ideas, reflections and a sense of where we are all heading next.
Now, as the new year begins, everything resets. Attendance goes back to zero, expectations are fresh and new connections are waiting to happen. With them come new conversations, new collaborations and business opportunities yet to take shape.
We move forward with appreciation for what we shared and real excitement for what’s ahead. Wishing everyone a year of meaningful encounters, growth, and many more moments around the table together.
Here is to new beginnings and a year full of possibility.
November’s Aperitif proved that the weather can set a mood, but people define the evening. While the storm outside kept us indoors and the terrace out of reach, it also created something unexpectedly special: a closer crowd, a warmer atmosphere and conversations that felt all the richer for it.
Thank you to everyone who joined and turned a grey forecast into a golden night. The photos capture the spirit far better than any description. Have a look and enjoy the moments once more.
October reminded us why every Aperitif feels a little different. The evening brought together a lively mix of new faces and familiar ones, with conversations crossing borders, ages, and industries. Once again, it proved that business is less about titles and more about spirit, the kind that attracts the curious, the brave, and the ambitious.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for such a vibrant gathering. The photos capture it best. Have a look and relive the atmosphere.
