On a hill above sea level, northeast of Naples, lays the beautiful city of Benevento, a city and a commune in Campania, Italy. The city beautifully sits between the rivers Sabato and Calore, and it is surrounded by the Campanian Apennines. Due to its rich history, Benevento is famous for its landmark legacies, such as the Arch of Trajan from the Trojan War, and the Roman Theatre from the Emperor Hadrian times.
There are so many things you can visit and do in Benevento. But when the night comes, the best way to enjoy Benevento is by wandering the most famous common places in Italy, the places where the food and drinks are served.

1. Aperitivo at Enoteca Bar Elisa
Start your night like the Italians by having aperitif time at Enoteca Bar Elisa. It’s considered as one of the best places to have aperitivo, or aperitif time. Aperitivo is an evening time that usually starts around 5 in the evening, when the Italians go out to the bars to have some alcoholic drinks that come with some snacks.
Enjoy aperitivo with the local wine. They serve condiments of cold meat cuts and delicious cheese. There are many types of local wines at the bar, but they don’t always display them all. So make sure that you ask.

6. Eat like locals at Ristorante Nunzia
Editor's Note: There's no photo available at the time of writing
The best place to eat like locals and meet the locals. At Ristorante Nunzia, start with prosciutto with mozzarellas as your antipasti, or starter. The best mozzarella is in Italy and you know it’s true when it melts in your mouth. And with fresh pasta with tomato and basil for your primo, or first main course, you will be contented.
You can always order the second main course, or secondo, which is usually a meat dish. But save some space for the fantastic Coffee Creme Brûlée or the nougat ice cream with home made chocolate sauce for your dessert. I know, the desserts don’t sound like local desserts, but you won’t regret it!
