When the host brings bread instead of red flags... that’s Snacks Amore!

Amuse Snack Bar invites Wellington food lovers to ditch the dating apps for one delicious night of light-hearted speed dating and snack-based bonding at their Euro-inspired aperitivo haven. Whether guests are after a snack (human) or a snack (sustenance), they’re guaranteed to leave with full hearts and satisfied appetites.

Each attendee will enjoy 12 mini dates and 6 courses of Italian-inspired snacklets – cacio e pepe, agrodolce, pasta alla norma, porchetta, and zabaione, all served in perfect bite-sized form. A glass of Lambrusco kicks off the evening, with a cheeky mini tiramisu maritozzo to take home. Throughout the event, wines curated by the charming Richard Klein of Artigiano Imports will be on offer, alongside Amuse’s house spritz, Negroni, and Parrotdog Lager.

The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming – more aperitivo hour than high-pressure matchmaking. The Amuse team, also musicians, will guide the evening with playful icebreakers, musical moments, and a light-touch structure that makes meeting new people easy and enjoyable.

Two themed evenings allow guests to choose their best fit:

Evening 1: General Assembly
Grouped on the night by chosen generation:
• 5:30pm – Millennials (28–45)
• 7:30pm – Gen X (40–60)

Evening 2: Rainbow Night
Grouped by dating preference:
• 5:30pm – those seeking men
• 7:30pm – those seeking women

The event warmly welcomes all gender identities and sexual orientations. Attendees will be asked to indicate who they’re interested in dating at checkout, but gender identity remains private unless individuals wish to share it. Symbols and nametags on the night will help create a fun and inclusive vibe. Amuse Snack Bar is proud to be an LGBTQIA+ friendly space..
