A group of my friends and I have a supper club - every other month or so someone hosts and picks a dinner theme. It's my turn this month and I'm turning my home into a Venetian "Bàcari" (cicchetti bar) with small plates of yummy finger food appetizers to snack on, Italian wine and Aperol spritzes. Guests love the variety and the food is very portable, which makes it easy to mingle. Check the link for recipes! KWs: party ideas, party snacks, party food appetizers, tapas party, tapas recipes
