Aperitivo in Leichhardt is a bustling Italian restaurant with a lively nightlife on Norton Street. The frito misto and rocket and pear salad are highlights for starters, while the traditional pizzas from the wood-fired oven are a hit with their pillowy crusts and flavorful toppings. The capricciosa and salsiccia pizzas showcase deliciously chewy dough, although some find the toppings a bit overwhelming. The fresh ingredients in the salads and generous toppings on the pizzas are definitely a plus. While some had issues with the dough being too wet or soggy and the salty pasta, others found the food to be a pleasant surprise and would happily return. The staff can be a bit slow, but the ambiance is perfect for a casual catch-up meal with family and friends. Overall, Aperitivo offers excellent wood-fired pizzas and accommodating service, making it a top choice for Italian dining in the area.

Aperitivo has been my local pizza joint for more than a decade. It’s a large restaurant with two levels of indoor dining plus outdoor dining street-side and in a rear courtyard, so they were particularly well equipped to implement NSW Health’s current social distancing instructions and keep plenty of space between diners earlier in the week. Aperitivo also send out pizza delivering via platforms like UberEats, though you can ensure all your money goes into supporting your local guy (rather than a corporate giant) by talking a walk to pick up your pizza yourself (while we still can)...

I always get excited when I walk into an italian place and all the staff are authentic. Really great vibes from the friendly smiles, the italian menu (needed to whip out Google for some translations)<br/ Portions were a little small dont know if that's a good thing lol.<br/

Amazing pizza, one of the best pizzas that I've had in Australia. They are very helpful and are able to alter dishes to suit dietary requirements. Lovely staff, my new favourite pre cinema restaurant!

Great spot for woodfired pizza! We came here on a weeknight and luckily it wasnt too busy. With thst being said felt like the staff could be a little more attentive, it was hard to get their attention!

Great pizzas. Done much differently to the rest of the Norton St establishments, but you will pay for it! I love the eclectic bar ambiance, will have to come back for drinks next time, seeing we're just a minute walk away.
