Buckle up, I'll guide you through dining out in Italy.
🍝Get the PDF, Dining in Italy Explainer Guide: bit.ly/42utcmI
We'll cover the timing of meals, how to make reservations, and navigating the menu structure. You'll learn about Italian customs, including separate menus for food and wine, and ordering house wine by the liter! U'll also suggest some traditional Italian dishes to try and encourage ordering a combination of plates to create your own Italian feast. And, I'll explain how Italians eat and share some common phrases to help you communicate with the staff.

I am from Florence and i was stunned by your knowledge of our costumes and uses. Very well explained all the dishes and our way of "eating" without falling in the same old cliché. I can recognize a man who pays the fair deserved respect to the place he visits. Great job Gregor

@GregorBrown 8 ай бұрын

It's not done where you ask for a box to take home your left overs. The plates they serve are not so big where you'd have so much that you couldn't eat. To Go? Some place do UberEats or Takeaway, but you'd need to ask in advance or find them on an App.

In Italy, when enjoying a 3-5 course meal, it's common to order all the courses at the beginning. The restaurant will pace the meal, serving each course in the traditional sequence. Buon appetito! 🍝🍷
