Cocktails, amici? Melrose Italian resto All’ Angelo says it’s time for a spriz -- an aperitivo to kick off the evening -- at its new first-come, first-served Spriz Bar.

Spriz -- the traditional northern Italian aperitif -- is made with Prosecco or white wine, soda water and bitters. Owner Stefano Ongaro’s signature spriz classico is Foss Marai Prosecco and San Pellegrino Sanbitter (with hints of citrus). On the Spriz Bar menu are more than 10 selections of bubbly (Prosecco and Champagne), available by the glass, bottle or half-bottle -- Louis Roederer, Perrier-Jouët, Taittinger, Carpenè Malvolti, etc. -- and a selection of bellinis made with fresh mango, strawberry, blueberry and peach purées. And appetizers? Affetati misti (a selection of salumi), fritto misto, chicken liver pâté, sea urchin....

If only it were spriz time all the time.

All’ Angelo, 7166 Melrose Ave., Los Anglees, (323) 933-9540.
