Aperitivo in Valencia

Aperitivo is the Italian habit of meeting before dinner for a light drink and a bite to eat. At Ancestral Spritzeria we do it the Mediterranean way, in Algirós.

What aperitivo means

A cold drink, something to nibble and time to talk. It isn't dinner and it isn't a big night out: it's the part in between that opens the evening.

What to drink at Ancestral

  • 27 spritzes on the menu: bitter, fruity, specials and alcohol-free.
  • Valencian vermouth, on its own or as a spritz.
  • DO Utiel-Requena wines, natural wines, ancestral-method sparkling and cava.
  • Tyris, the Valencian beer, on draught and in bottles.

What to eat

  • Olives and artisan crisps.
  • Focaccias and empanadas, with vegetarian options.
  • A mixed board of Iberian cured meats and cheeses.
  • Xips Ancestral, with mussels and olives.
