West Broadway’s Bar Volpe is ringing in the summer with a new aperitivo hour, the Italian tradition of light appetizers and cocktails before dinner.

Chef Karen Akunowicz put together a menu of stuzzichini-like fried olives, shrimp and crostini perfect for an after-work happy hour with friends.

What to get: The calamari and shrimp fritti misti ($17) with basil is a highlight, as is the shrimp and mustard sauce ($16.)

  • Even the olive-phobic should try the $7 olives all’ascolana for stuffed and fried olives.
  • There’s a pancetta panini that’s a bit more substantive if you’re looking to fill up and the potato-filled crocchetta di patate ($10) has an anchovy zing to it.
  • Top off your hour of apps with the salted vanilla ice cream ($6) which is tastier than soft serve should be allowed to be.

  • Bar Volpe serves aperitivo every day from 4-5pm all summer.
