What Italian appetizers are good for a party?
Choose make-ahead, finger-friendly antipasti: crostini or bruschetta, a salumi and cheese board, marinated olives, rosemary almonds, caprese skewers and sausage and peppers sliders. Plan roughly 5 to 6 bites per guest before a meal, or 10 to 12 per guest if appetizers are the whole party.
