Napoli by Shatranj introduces a Cocktail & Tapas Menu - 'Aperitivo Amore', to escape into an Italian state of mind

 Napoli by Shatranj, known for its authentic culinary experiences, is set to transport diners to the heart of Southern Europe with its new cocktail menu & tapas menu - ‘Aperitivo Amore’. 

Inspired by the cherished Mediterranean philosophy of dolce far niente—the sweetness of doing nothing—this offering isn’t just about food and drinks, but about embracing life’s simple pleasures. In this hurried world, Napoli invites you to slow down, unwind, and savor the magic of leisurely moments with friends, laughter, and exceptional flavors. 

At the core of this experience is the Aperitivo Amore—a tribute to the centuries-old Italian tradition of gathering before a meal to enjoy a refreshing drink and conversation. Aperitivo is more than a cocktail hour; it’s a ritual of relaxation, where time stands still, and each sip or bite is an opportunity to connect with those around you. Every cocktail on this menu has been thoughtfully crafted to take you on a journey of taste, from the sun-kissed coasts of Italy to the vibrant streets of Spain.

Begin with the Noce di Coco Paloma, where tropical notes of homemade coconut liqueur and Short Story Rum meet the zesty refreshment of grapefruit and citrus, with a surprising hint of coffee. Or dive into the fiery yet balanced Arancia Rossa Picante, featuring the rich sweetness of Sicilian blood oranges complemented by fresh jalapeño spice. For those who crave something fruitier, the Mangia Mule is a delightful fusion of mango and ginger beer, brightened by a citrus finish. And for a truly Italian moment, the Fiore di Campo offers a sip of Southern Italy, blending the iconic Limoncello with delicate lemon flavors.

No aperitivo is complete without a selection of tapas to indulge in, and Napoli’s new Tapas Menu is a celebration of small plates, each one capturing the essence of dolce far niente. Imagine the Crostini Di Gamberi Al Limoncello, where juicy shrimp meets the citrusy tang of Limoncello on a perfectly crisp baguette. Or the Arancini Ripieni Di Mare, a golden, seafood-stuffed arancini that transports you straight to the Sicilian coast. With vegan options like the Polpette Vegan, Napoli ensures there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

So, whether you're gathering with friends or seeking a quiet escape from the bustle of daily life, Napoli by Shatranj offers an invitation to pause, relax, and savor every bite and sip.

The Aperitivo Amore menu is available at Napoli by Shatranj, located at First Floor, 12, Union Park, Off Carter Rd, Union Park, Pali Hill, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400052.
