One way Italians enjoy spending their free time is inviting their friends over for aperitivo or dinner together. More or less informal, these occasions are certainly more relaxing than an evening out in a restaurant. The hosts prepare appetizers in advance and cook a maximum of one hot dish during the evening. Guests bring dessert, a bunch of flowers, or a bottle of wine.
