Aperitivo

2940 Riverby Rd, Houston, TX

Crema's Take

Aperitivo is a sophisticated rooftop escape in Houston where exceptional service meets European-inspired elegance, complete with imported frescos and barrel ceilings that transport you far from Texas. While their specialty coffee and traditional drinks are thoughtfully curated, this spot truly shines as a full dining destination where attentive staff suggest the perfect pairing—whether that's a carefully crafted beverage or their surprisingly excellent kitchen offerings—making it ideal for lingering celebrations with friends.

Phenomenal dining experience. 3 ladies celebrating my birthday, Katia took our visit to a whole new level. She was attentive, suggesting just the perfect drink, returning multiple times to check on us. Non intrusive but right there just at the right time. I’m visiting from Maryland, and have been celebrating with friends for over a week, THIS is the best experience hands down

We went here for the scenic background for a birthday and we were pleasantly surprised the food was actually amazing. We tried fried calamari (fritto misto di mare), crab cakes, short ribs pasta, L'aperitivo salad and salmon a la plancha. Every single one of our dishes were incredible especially the short rib pasta, i would order to go to eat at home if I was in the area that is how good it was. The drinks were very good and the service was great we had a great waiter.

Wow!! Let me start off by sharing that everything was such a great expedience! We had a reservation and the host made us feel welcomed, we took an elevator to the top floor and arrived at the restaurant!! Such a great Vibe the decor was chic, the music was sexy and upbeat! I recommend to Come visit Cecilia behind the bar. She is so experienced and took the time to explain the craft behind extensive cocktail menu item. We tried the pasta, sliders, crab cakes. Recommend it all especially for the anyone looking for a good date night location. We will be coming back!! Out of all the Drinks we tried I really enjoyed the Follia Di Pera!!

I attended a Friendsgiving dinner in a private dining area, and it was AMAZING. The venue is chic and very European in decor. The beautiful barrel ceiling was adorned with imported frescos, huge crystal chandeliers, and hand laid mosaics on the floor. A single, long, candle lit table was dressed in linens, china, crystal and fresh florals. Our chef for the evening was highly acclaimed and had prepared meals for several American Presidents. From the signature cocktails to the passed Hors d'oeuvres, to the traditional Thanksgiving meal it was a 10 out of 10 experience. After dinner we had nightcaps on the rooftop terrace overlooking the city. I would definitely recommend Aperitivo if you are looking for something upscale with a luxe atmosphere.

Amazing experience! Great views - Houston needs more rooftops! Loving the Afro-house music. The truffle fries & sliders were pretty good, especially for a place with a great view. Usually you don’t get both good food & good views, but I was pleasantly surprised. The cocktails were great as well. Carlos was our server and he gave us great service! Everyone was super nice & they were even flexible when we needed to change our reservation.
