Loved Italy. Nice casual for us. The street cafes were incredible. Maybe some are better than others, but not one bad meal. We didn’t do fine dining.
You are adorable! Gratzie for these videos. I am coming to Rome in June with my mother and so exited!
Thank you for all the great advice. I can't wait to visit Italy.
So many rules! Here in Bangladesh do whatever u want to do. Just feel free to enjoy.
😃 Hello beautiful, Ill be in Rome in 24 hours. Thank You for all the videos!!! Ive been watching all week.
Thank you, your videos are very informative. I'll be going for college in Italy and I'm finding your videos very helpful. In this video, I would have loved it if you had spoken a bit about dress codes during dinner. If people should dress up formally for a dinner out on a date or if it depends on the place where one is going out for dinner.
Thanks for the tips!
Loved the video! Definitely a great one for tourists/visitors to watch!!
Thanks a lot! :D
Elisa, I love all the information! By the way, I have to tell you I loved your hair curled! You are so pretty! Thank you for every video... (I guess I watched it all - and I took many notes!).
Thanks! Your comment makes me so happy haha I do the same when I visit another country: UA-cam videos and notes! 😂
Great job!
Another great video Elisa. You may have mentioned it in another video but it would have been helpful to explain coperto, servizio, and mancia. These are things that totally confuse Americans. Thx
Thanks for the info!
Thanks for watching!
There will definitely be more 'Do it like a local' videos like this one, so stay tuned if you found this one helpful! :D
When we went to Rome, years ago (and I'm looking forward to going back), we ordered a menu in a restaurant, I can still remember, in Vatican city. We first ate the salad and then the pasta, mistake! In Italy you do it the other way around 🤣🤣There was a woman sitting next to us who told us: I knew you weren't Italian since the moment I saw you eating the salad first! And she explained us how to do it like an Italian. I'll never forget her advice 😉
Thank you Alisa for the video ❤️. Can you recommend me 3 to 4 local restaurants in Rome that are budget friendly?
love your vids! when ordering, do you usually order everything at once or the waiter goes back to your table when he sees you’re done with your food and asks you?
If you are going to stay in one place for a while, this is great way to follow. But as an Italian tourist before, we usually wake up at 6AM to start the day. I could not afford to eat 3 hours and have not enough sleep to stay energetic.
Love your accent
Great video
Thanks. Good info. Next time tell us about breakfast and types of coffee of you can.
Great idea! :D
You are still the best Elisa, one of favorite UA-camr
Thank you so much! :D
thank you for the info going to Rome in 2 Months looking forward to it
Thank you for watching!
Glad you find the infos helpful!
Stay tuned cause I'm thinking about making this 'Do it like a local' into a serie! :D
oh nice looking forward to it
I’m American, and I like to have coffee after dinner.
The food in Rome is fantastic. I have been to Rome so many times, I am actually famous at some restaurants.. Sorry for boasting. Can’t wait to go soon.. Thank you so much for your cool videos that are very informative..
I’m self-teaching myself Italian, and I’m having a hard time not to pronounce my “h’s”, since Italians don’t. So I find it interesting that you have a little trouble pronouncing them.
Great job. I’m watching many of your videos and find them entertaining and useful.
HONestly I know what you mean. Ho voglia di imparare l'italiano too :)
How is your Italian going 3 years on?
When I was in Italy many, many years ago, we would sometimes have cheese after the secondo and before the dolci. Asiago with olive oil was a favorite of mine. Was that normal?
Visiting next week, what is considered “smart casual” for the the evening meal? As this seems to be required in most restaurants
Hello! In Italy do you order the antipasti and primi piatti at the same time? Or do you order one and then the waiter comes back after you've eaten the antipasti to take the next order? Thank you!!!
I'm going back to Rome in a week. What is the reason behind dinner starting at 8pm if lunch is around 12noon. I also had problems finding a coffee shop thats open earlier than 7am for the guy who is up at 4am. Large gaps of time between meals kill me.
Do you have to tip at a restaurant in Rome?
Grazie ancora Elisa!I sottotitoli sono molto utili.A proposito di dove sei?Saluti da Chania
Sono di Roma!
Chania è stupenda, mi piacerebbe moltissimo andarci! :D
I'm half Sicilian, my mom's family is from Sicily. Could u touch on some things we need to know about Sicily
Why don’t you ask mom?
What coffee would you typically get after the dinner?
Espresso, but some avoid coffee after dinner cause it might affect your sleep
Whaaaaat. For the longest time I've been buying these yummy tortelloni from a local shop in Poland with a huge ANTIPASTI written on the packet and I thought it was either the name brand name or the translation of the type of tortelloni (with grilled veggies). Now I know it just says STARTERS and I''m shook lol
Hahahaha omg at least now you know! 😂
I always thought that restaurants open at 7:00pm in Italy?
Maybe grocery stores
Will it be weird if I dine alone? Also, is it rude to ask not to bring bread to the table? I don’t eat bread and I don’t want to be tempted. (But I love bread)
No, it's not weird :)
And yes, you can ask not to have the bread basket on your table, it's not considered rude! :D
Nn hai parlato della mancia e del coperto. Bel video, ma qui al nord gli orari sono un po' diversi... iniziamo almeno un ora prima.
Hai ragione! Cercherò di integrarli in un altro video! :)
Grazie delle informazioni!
Why do Europeans eat so late? In North America we eat at 6:00 pm and then have the evening free to do other things. I wonder how the European daily routine compares with ours in North America.
We have different working hours, we often leave work at 6:00-6:30 pm, so it's impossible to dinner at that time (I leave at 7:00 pm for example). And Italians often cook their dinner and eat sitting at the table only when *all the members of the family are present* , so it must be an hour in which all are available and at home. In addition, also the time of year and the sun are involved in the choice of dinner time. For example, when it's hot and there is good weather we tend to dine later, because after eating we leave the house to walk and meet friends and we go to sleep late, while instead when it's cold and the weather is bad we have dinner early, we watch tv and go to sleep early. Also for this reason in northern Italy people have dinner around 7:00 pm while in southern Italy the dinner can start at 8:30-9:00 pm.
Twilight that’s so interesting! i live in america and i can’t remember the last time i’ve sat at the table to eat dinner with everyone - and most nights nobody in my family actually eats dinner. most times we don’t even cook and eat a lot of raw foods like munching on fruits and vegetables. the only time we ever sit together is when we go to resturaunt, but we are in and out in 30-45 minutes and only order one small thing
Dinner is late because it’s a social event, and are chill enjoying the conversation amongst family and friends. They appreciate the effort in the making and presentation of the meal. Americans are to impatient to enjoy such a simple thing....they’d rather wolf the food down or eat alone just to get it done.
You can't talk about Europeans at that, in Nordic Countries like Finland and Sweden, we eat at like 5pm, because we get off from work at around 3 or 4pm aka 15:00 and 16:00.
Americans spend more time on entertainment and sports than actually eating food. American life is more efficient than the Europeans. Europeans are more layback.
Elisa how do you cope as a pasta lover and coeliac? How do restaurants cater for this in Italy?
I'm planning to make a video on this topic so stay tuned! :D
Rome Inside Grazie mille 🙏
We visited Italy and Switzerland last month. The couple we traveled with and my wife are gluten sensitive. We were pleasantly surprised at the availability of some gluten free options on the menu. Many will have gf spaghetti or pizza in addition to some other items. Just ask for senza glutine (gluten free). There are also some tasty gf items in the grocery stores.
Please Elisa make that video! (If you haven’t already) I thought I caught a mention in the Aperitivo video that you couldn’t do gluten. Just found you today and am enjoying your videos.
What about tipping the server?
Tipping is not mandatory but (obviously) highly appreciated from the waiters.
Some people tend to always tip, some others only tip if they're particularly satisfied with the service :)
Tipping doesn't exist in Italy, it's just a habit of foreigners. It can also give serious tax problems to customers, restaurateurs and waiters as there is no receipt, and in fact some restaurants have signs in which they ask not to tip the waiters to avoid ugly fines.
I feel obliged to tell you that you pronounce courses as curses 😃
Also I want you for antipasto,primo piatto,secondo and especially contorno :).
Your fucking sick weirdo 😒
I have a feeling that a lot Italians are over weighted. 3 hour and 4 course dinner everyday?
Weimin Sun
Yeah I’m sure they don’t do it every day. Do you go out to eat everyday?
How about for Old people we eat early.
Old people in Italy eat around 7 pm. Btw in hospitals they will serve you dinner at 6pm because light go out early 😂
Per Elisa?
Bread is free, I get that but can I ask for more, is that rude?
No, it isn't
Alessia, I miss you, where are you; I have not seen anything from you in a very long time. It has been many months on since I saw you on UA-cam, are you alright
Probably that's a typical roman dinner.... In Milan it's not unusual to have dinner at 7.30, most starters are NOT fried, and it will most surely NOT last 3 hours... I dine out once or twice per week and usually in one hour or less I'm in and out! I'd die if I had to stay 3 hours in a restaurant! Also, bread is not for free, you usually pay for "pane e coperto" (bread and place setting).
Sol Accursio Milan, beautiful city. But from a foreigner point of view, polar opposite of the rest of Italy.
How abt vegans I’m wondering? xD
che cosa succede.
