Ken's Yelp review of Florence, Italy: "Preserving the integrity of an incredible, historic, national heritage site is just ssssoooOOOOooo narrow minded! I give the city of Florence a big 👎THUMBS DOWN!👎 0/5 Would not recommend!" Hahaha, you're so silly 😜

Although the "F*ck off" aspect isn't really there 😅 It's more like "Dunno", "I don't know" and/or "I don't rally care (to know)"

I read that it depends on that what part of Italy you live in. If you live in North of Italy then it should be ok but in the South of Italy or Sicily they will look at you like you were a lunatic. I don't know if its true, I just read that xd

Surely you pay for it si they will serve it to you

Hai detto una str....ata assurda

Nonody says no but everybody thinks "here you go another one who doesn't even know what Italian food is"

@@monicarollo2462 e tu sei molto maleducata. Cos'è meglio?

I lived in central Italy for 6 months and only once was my order for a Cappuccino refused. Turns out that the barista was still new and did not want to mess up the milk/foam. Better to have a different drink than a bad coffee!

“Basically judgemental” is the understatement of the year. If you’re in Italy, fine, but the Italians gatekeeping elsewhere annoys me. How about just letting people eat what they like?

Damn, I’m glad Italy doesn’t run the world like they wanted to. Could you imagine? 😂

One more thing that shows your ignorance.

Good and I don't even drink coffee lol

In italy any bar will make you a cappuccino in any moment of the day. We tend to romanticize al lot about our culture.

In Italy it's very rare to find a barista that know what is a flat white, you have to go in some "specialty coffee" bar or something like that. In a normal bar you can order a caffe, doppio, ristretto, macchiato, caffè latte, Cappuccino and a Marocchino. Stop. If you want a flat white just ask fo a cappuccino with less foam than a normal one.

Well that's not something you can find everywhere (also because maybe you call it with an Italian name but it's not an Italian thing), but maybe there are some bar that can do sort of an iced coffee/freddo espresso (?). Anyways most of the times you'll find warm, short and strong coffee. Coffee needs to wake you up so you need something strong (there are some that prefer to drink it even without sugar so it's really bittery but wakes them up a lot I guess). The most usual I think are espresso, "short", "long" (with a bit more water so it's not so strong as short one), "double" which is even stronger, macchiato, cappuccino etc. Then there might be some typical coffee depending on the place you go, for example in my city (Padua) there is a coffee with mint, or in the south of Puglia there is an iced coffee with almonds milk. Maybe I talked too much, but I hope I've been helpful :)

@@fraz813 I love talking to much don't worry about doing it too. In Greece freddo/iced espresso is always double dose , very rare Quattro if you asked for it , sugar but that depends on preference I for example want half of a teaspoon , and ice . As I saw in the video Italians drink their coffee really quick , in hurry , cause as you said its purpose is to wake you up so I understand that how the coffee is in each country depends on the culture . I assume that's why Greeks came with the freddo version and prefer it, because for us having coffee is probably the most used thing we choose to do when getting out . We just go to a caffe with friends , order a freddo espresso and stay for at least 2 hours , talking playing cards etc. For waking up our parents and grandparents still choose the Turkish coffee but young people don't even do it when they are in hurry , we are so used to freddo espresso, I swear we are addicted we prefer it even in the coldest days, we get one in plastic even when we go for a walk etc. It is strong , but because we are slowly drinkers , plus the ice melts so it gets slowly more watery, it doesn't truly serve the purpose of waking you up quick . I really wonder are Italians ever sitting down for more time to drink the coffee with friends etc and if yes what coffee do you prefer for this occasion.

@@user-rc2gy5ik5n well except when we drink it for breakfast or after the other lunches (or when you have to use the toilets of a bar but you have to consume something to do it😅), we use to have it maybe when we want to go out with a friend. So we sit in a bar, drink a coffee and stay there to talk, maybe half an hour. A normal coffee takes just 2-3 sips to be finished, so it's something that ends fast and you can't stay there hours, or also bring it with you and drink it while you're walking like an iced coffee. Anyways we don't have a particular coffee in these occasions, usually an espresso or a macchiato, depends on the fact that someone may like it with or without milk (personally I'm the second one type of person, I prefer a pure coffee where I can taste it properly). PS. About sitting and drinking coffee: I personally use to do that if I'm with a person I don't see since long time, if I'm with more friends we're more probably going to have the so called "aperitivo", maybe with a Spritz (or in the afternoon before dinner, or in the evening after dinner). It's a type of cocktail (not so strong because also with a bit of water) and we stay there 1 hours or more enjoying it and talking

@@user-rc2gy5ik5n Anyways I'm not a big fan of iced coffee and I drank it just a few times when I went to England, but now you really made me want one of it😂 Anyways now I remember that in some places near the sea you can find the so called "Crema Caffe" (means like coffee cream) that is something between a coffee and an ice cream. Similar to a coffee but refreshing at the same time

I understand that, i myself don't stick to this rule, living in Italy i sometimes do have to take breakfast at circa 6am because of work and sometimes at 11am instead.

The key is not to care about looking like an uncultured cretin. Why do you care what a total stranger thinks of you? Answer: you don't. The Italians have all kinds of rules for things, but they aren't _your_ rules.
