What is Aperitivo? Our Take on the Italian tradition

Aperitivo, Glasgow-Style

If you haven't come across aperitivo before, think of it as the Italian art of the pre-dinner drink — a glass of something cold, a few small plates to share, and no real rush to be anywhere else. It's less about the meal and more about the pause: the bit of the evening where you actually catch up with the people you're with.

At Delictoria, our evening menu takes that spirit and puts our own stamp on it. Charcuterie boards built for sharing, warm focaccia, fresh oysters, and a wine list built for lingering over — all served in Merchant Square's most relaxed corner.

It's a different pace to a typical night out, and that's the point. Grab a table on Candleriggs, order a spritz, and let the evening slow down for a while.
