SAVOUR & SIP
SOMETHING TO RAISE YOUR SPRITZ Appetising A treat for summer, De Luca has added an aperitivo offer to its line-up of midweek deals, allowing you to enjoy two cocktails for £10 on Wednesdays and Thursdays between 5-7pm, from 1 June. Hailing from Italy, aperitivo is thought to date back to the 19th century, when King Vittorio Emanuele II got into the habit of enjoying a drink of vermouth to ‘open up’ his stomach before dinner (the term stems from Italian verb aprire, meaning ‘to open’). De Luca’s Pasta Wednesdays and Pizza Thursdays provide the perfect opportunity to do as the Italians do, and enjoy a delicious meal after your aperitivo. delucacucina.co.uk
