Aperitivo — Local services in Abilene

We stumbled on this place just looking for something different for lunch. We loved it. The interior is cozy and comfortable. You’d also question whether you were in a restaurant, a coffee shop or someone’s living room. The restaurant is in a small strip center that doesn’t really face the street. The sign outside of the restaurant is small so you won’t notice it if you’re just driving by. It doesn’t look like much on the outside but inside is such a pleasant surprise. I had the lemon basil chicken salad sandwich. Oh my word! I’m picky about chicken salad and this was so delicious. It’s not cheap, but it’s fresh and filling. It is served on a croissant with a cute lemon garnish. My husband had the pastrami and really liked it. We ordered a side of fruit and this isn’t like any other side of fruit we’ve ever gotten at a different restaurant. It was big and had unique fruit not cantaloupe and melon. Their charcuterie boards come in a variety of sizes and are so pretty and look amazing. The service was wonderful and they were so eager to please. Definitely worth a visit and great option if you need a charcuterie board for a party, event, etc or if you just want to come with a couple of friends and...

Beautiful, creative, and fresh meals and energy - and the warmest welcome! We felt back at home in France. A small business worth showering with love!

Our meal began with a surprise amuse-bouche and dragonfruit aqua fresca.

The strawberry jalapeño basil appetizer was a lovely and unique blend of flavors and textures. My only critique would be to toast the bread a bit further so the strawberry juice doesn’t make it soggy while I’m savoring the other slices.

We ordered the club, with the recommendation from a kind regular customer next to us to replace the chips with fruit. It was enormous! The fruit was plated like a charcuterie board, crisp, and full of flavor.

We were so stuffed that we decided to take our lemon cake with us on the road for a picnic. We can’t wait!

One of the delights was listening to the owners communicate with their employees. They were so kind, eager to teach and encourage, and patient through the lunch rush.

Apperitivo was a delightful surprise on our road trip. We wish the owners all the best on their dream for...

I can’t even begin to explain how awesome it was on my first time trying it. Let’s start off by saying, the warm welcome you get as soon as you come in is unbeatable. I got the pleasure to meet the chef/owner my first time and Sue (hope I spelled that right). She dove into all their menu options when she found out it was our first time. We even were told about off menu options which were incredible. I have been back 3 times now and will continue to do so. You can tell they make the food with love and their attention to details is amazing. Pictured with the review is their deviled eggs and their beef stew...
