Frizzenti

You'll find yourself in one of Digbeth's brick-fronted converted spaces, where Frizzenti does that Italian thing properly—no gimmicks, just solid cocktails built around Campari, vermouth and honest spirits. It's the kind of place where they actually understand why an aperitivo exists: to sharpen your appetite before dinner, not to get hammered on £15 cocktails dressed up like art installations. The vibe is deliberately understated, with the sort of low-key sophistication that comes from people who actually know what they're doing behind the bar.
