What is Apericena?
Apericena is a combination of the Italian words "aperitivo" (appetiser) and "cena" (dinner). It refers to a social custom where people gather in the early evening to enjoy drinks and a buffet of food, often replacing a full dinner. Essentially, it's a happy hour with a more substantial food offering than a typical aperitivo.
