In Italy, aperitivo is the social practice of enjoying a pre-dinner drink with nibbles meant to “open” the palate. But in an American recession, the drink and nibbles can make a perfectly respectable dinner. Cube rolled out its wine program Nov. 1, and to toast the new offerings it's introduced Aperitivo hours, Monday-Saturday 4 p.m.-7 p.m. When you order a glass of wine, priced $7-14, you'll get a small free bowl of warm Rancho Gordo crimson popcorn popped in duck fat and topped with a sprinkling of truffle salt. Move on to one of three daily crudo specials like hamachi with coriander oil, fennel and yuzo for $12-$14. There's also a warm dish like braised baby octopus for $10-$12, cheese and meat flights, plus rumors of a fondue selection.
