Lovely Cristina showed me all the beautiful RED displays and the bar. This very informed Barman explained the very first cocktail made with Campari was called the “Milano/Torino” or “MITO” (Campari, red vermouth, Orange slice  and Lime)

“Best Looking Bartender” goes to LARUSMIANI.   Offering me a cocktail called the “Americano” – the story goes that in the ’20’s the Italians were tired of drinking from tiny little sherry glasses and decided to create a long drink like the Americans, hence the name (Campari, red vermouth, Orange slice  and Soda).
