"Sipping spritzes with Annette Joseph is the most fun—and this

"Aperitivo is more than Italy’s early evening pause for drinks and
snacks. It’s a state of mind, and Annette Joseph perfectly captures
the ritual of the moment with her guidebook insights, sun-soaked
images, and spot-on recipes. The book also reveals the marvel that
is the author herself: a tireless hostess, a cultural ambassador,
and an adventurer ever-thrilled to share her treasured finds."—Bill
Addison, national critic for Eater
"Annette has always known that the strip of land from the borders
of France to those of Tuscany was a special place, with its
coastline an endless, stunning beauty. From the Riviera di Ponente
to the Cinque Terre, from San Remo and Alassio, down to Albenga,
Savona, Genoa, Camogli, Portofino, Rapallo, and beyond. Liguria is
a land that is hospitable with the perfect climate to enjoy
cocktails by the sea. Annette’s book reflects this perfectly."
—Mauro Lotti, Iconic Italian Barman
