Aperitivo Hour

Happy Hour at Giostra 🍷

Unwind after work with discounted wine by the glass and a curated menu of indulgent bites during Giostra’s new Happy Hour!

Monday – Thursday | 4–6 PM

Sip on perfectly poured wines and snack on crispy Brussels sprouts, parmesan fries, charcuterie, focaccia, and more. Because good wine, great food, and a little extra time with friends make every night better.

In Italy, aperitivo isn’t just a drink—it’s a ritual. A moment to pause, unwind, and prepare the palate for the evening ahead. Traditionally enjoyed between late afternoon and early evening, aperitivo is where friends gather over a light cocktail or glass of wine, paired with small bites that awaken the senses.

 The word itself comes from aprire—“to open”—because that’s exactly what aperitivo does: it opens the appetite, the conversation, and the night. 

At Giostra, we bring this timeless Italian tradition to life. Our aperitivo hour is your invitation to slow down, sip something refreshing, and savor the flavors of Italy the way they were meant to be experienced; unhurried, vibrant, and always shared.

Join us, and let aperitivo become your new favorite ritual.
