__NOTOC__

An antipasto (: antipasti) is the traditional first course of a formal Italian meal. Usually made of bite-size small portions and presented on a platter from which everyone serves themselves, the purpose of antipasti is to stimulate the appetite. The antipasto is typically followed by the primo piatto.
