Step into the world of Apéritivo, where the essence of Italy meets the spirit of celebration. Founded by two passionate female pizzaiolas, Apéritivo is more than a meal — it’s an immersive culinary experience rooted in culture, craftsmanship, and connection.

At Apéritivo, our mission is to share the magic of Neapolitan cuisine through chef-led, participatory culinary experiences that invite guests to slow down, learn, and savor the process. Join us for our immersive pizza-making classes, where you’ll explore the art of crafting Neapolitan-style pizza from scratch. Guided by our pizzaiolas, these hands-on experiences dive into Italy’s culinary heritage, from dough and sauce to toppings and technique.

Beyond our classes, Apéritivo also offers private, chef-guided culinary experiences designed for celebrations and gatherings. Elevate your next event with our signature Apé — a charming Italian mini truck featuring beer and prosecco taps as part of the overall experience — adding a touch of Italian hospitality to weddings, corporate gatherings, private parties, and special occasions.

Apéritivo experiences are hosted in private settings or our South Asheville kitchen and are experiential and instructional in nature. We do not operate as a restaurant or catering service; all events are hosted by the client for their invited guests and focus on connection, education, and shared enjoyment of the culinary process.

Whether you’re learning the art of pizza making or participating in one of our private culinary experiences, every moment with Apéritivo is a celebration of la dolce vita. Book your class or private experience and let the flavors of Italy transport you.
