Aperitivo Yerevan

Food and wine

"Aperitivo Yerevan is a great place for wine lovers like me. I also recommend trying their chicken & tried tomato pasta — it's so delicious!"

If you are a wine lover like me, you will love this place! Aperitivo is located near Cascade, one of those famous sights in Yerevan. It offers a wide variety of wines from all over the world and good food. The service is average, but overall the environment is cozy and enjoyable. You should definitely try their chicken and dried tomato pasta once you are there. During the summer season, they have an open-air cafe too, where you can watch people walk and enjoy the view over the Cascade complex.

I don't recommend going there on Friday night because it's too crowded. I personally enjoy being there during the morning hours as it's a good time to enjoy the view and silence. Also, they have seasonal discounts during the morning hours which gives the opportunity to enjoy anything from their menu with 50% discount! I really love watching people walk and Aperitivo is perfect for that!
