Summer Sizzles at North Italia With Tropical Aperitivo Twist

We’re all about that summer feeling, and North Italia is bringing the heat with their new “Aperitiki” concept. It’s like they’ve taken our favorite Italian happy hour and sent it on a tropical vacation.

The result? A mouthwatering fusion of island flavors and classic Italian aperitivo that’s got us dreaming of sun-soaked beaches and cobblestone piazzas.

North Italia

Let’s talk cocktails. North Italia has shaken things up with 13 new drinks that’ll transport you straight to paradise. From the “When in Rum” (their cheeky take on a Bahama Mama) to the “Pina No-Lada” for our non-drinking friends, there’s a little something for everyone.

And the best part? They’ve extended their happy hour so we can sip on these tropical delights for even longer.

Brunch Goes Beachy

But wait, it gets better. North Italia’s new “Aperitiki Brunch” is a feast for the senses—a 3-course prix fixe menu that’s a love letter to both Italian cuisine and summer flavors.

We’re talking Banana Coffee Cake drizzled with dark rum butterscotch, Cacio E Pepe Arancini that’ll make your taste buds dance, and a Breakfast Carbonara Pasta that’s basically a hug in a bowl.

And for the grand finale? A Lemon Olive Oil Cake that’s light, zesty, and screams summer. It’s the perfect way to end your brunch adventure.

See you there!

So, gather your crew and head to North Italia for this limited-time summer celebration. The “Aperitiki” menu and extended happy hour are happening now, with the three-course brunch priced at $35 per person. It’s the perfect excuse to treat yourself to a little slice of Italian paradise right here in San Diego.
