DeGrassi Aperitivo Bar: Italian style and local charm

Opened in December 2021, DeGrassi Aperitivo Bar is a part of a boutique hotel that shares its name. With its beautiful ambiance and varied offerings, it attracts both visitors and locals throughout the year. Guests can choose from delicious breakfast or brunch, cocktails or wines paired with savory snacks, all served either on the incredible terrace or in the elegant interior. We explored the history, philosophy, and unique features of this popular Izola spot during an interview with Jakob J. Dolenc, director of BM21, the company that owns the hotel and aperitivo bar.
