Italian Eateries Explained
Types of Dining in Italy
Bar or Snack Bar
Central to Italian culture, coffee is
the primary product served at bars.
Caffe’ is the word Italians use to
describe espresso. If you are looking
for brewed coffee, request un caffe’
Americano (cah-fey Ah-mer-ee-cahno). It is typical to pay first at the
cassa (cashier counter) and then
present your receipt to the barista
while repeating your order. A small
tip of one euro or less is customary.
The tip is placed, in advance, on top
of the receipt on the counter.
http://touritaly.org
7
Tour of Italy for the Financially Challenged
English/Italian Phrase Book
Receipts without tips may be
ignored, so it is wise to place a tip.
Bars also typically serve alcohol,
pastries and small snacks. Many
bars also serve gelato and
chocolates.
Trattoria
These are small, family owned
restaurants that usually offer a
simple menu consisting of local
favorites. Trattoria's are a typically
more economical than a
full ristorante, yet more expensive
than a tavola calda.Usually you can
http://touritaly.org
8
Tour of Italy for the Financially Challenged
English/Italian Phrase Book
expect table service that is more of
a 'down home'experience.
The trattoria is an excellent choice if
you would like to experience the
local culture and flavors.
Tavola Calda
Literally translated, tavola calda
(tav-oh-la call-dah) means ‘hot
table.’ These eateries are generally
quite economical and offer the best
chance of popping in for a quick bite.
They generally lack table service, and
if there is any table service it will be
very basic – perhaps fetching drinks.
These are the fastest eateries
http://touritaly.org
9
Tour of Italy for the Financially Challenged
English/Italian Phrase Book
because the simple menu is preprepared and served cafeteria-style.
A tavola calda is good choice for a
fast, economical lunch.
Ristorante
The Italian Ristorante is a full-blown
dining experience. Plates are
generally served al a carte and full
service is the norm. There are a
wide range of ristorante experiences
available from casual to ultra-posh
and one should be aware and dress
accordingly.
Be aware that at most risorate’s
there will be a servizio and
http://touritaly.org
10
Tour of Italy for the Financially Challenged
English/Italian Phrase Book
a gratuito on the bill. Servizio is a
place-setting charge for each diner,
usually 3 Euro or less, while
the gratuito is a gratuity or tip. It is
wise to inspect the bill to find what
amounts have already been added in
these categories and then add an
appropriate additional tip if service
met or exceeded your expectations.
Rosticceria
These small road-side rotisseries
are quick, easy, and tasty. Usually,
there is very limited or no seating
and relying on a take-away or standhttp://touritaly.org
11
Tour of Italy for the Financially Challenged
English/Italian Phrase Book
up model. Typically, chicken and
turkey are skewered and rotisserie
broiled over a wood-burnt fire. The
poultry is seasoned with salt and
pepper, and in some places special
mixtures of seasonings and fresh
herbs. Simple frittura (deep fried)
side dishes and patatine (chips and
crisps) are offered to accompany the
chicken. On occasion, I have also
seen red meats and even fish offered
at a Rosticceria.
http://touritaly.org

Tour of Italy for the Financially Challenged
English/Italian Phrase Book
Gelateria
Ahh, the vita dolce... Ice cream
shoppes. However, Italian gelato is
not ice cream proper. It is made with
lighter cream and milk and
incorporates rich and intense flavors
to compensate. Generally, apart
from the ubiquitous packaged frozen
treats, each gelateria makes its own
offerings. This makes gelato tasting
akin to wine tasting - there are many
subtle differences to be discovered
and appreciated.

English/Italian Phrase Book
Pizzeria
I have heard my Italian friends say a
day without pizza is like a day
without sunshine (also, substitute
'pasta' for pizza and it will still be a
commonly heard expression).
Generally, the pizzeria will have an
extensive pizza menu and some
simple pasta offerings. The service is
take-away to full sit-down table
service.
The epicenter for outstanding pizza
is, with absolute certainty,
Naples. The Neapolitans have built a
culture around their outstanding
style of pizza. If you go to Napoli,
visit pizzeria Brandi downtown. Try a
http://touritaly.org
14
Tour of Italy for the Financially Challenged
English/Italian Phrase Book
few different Neapolitan pizzeria's. A
pizza experience in Naples is a
must! If you are more than 50 Km
outside of Naples, the Italian pizza is
still good, but in our collective
opinion, the experience just isn’t the
same.
Panioteca
Simply put, this is a sandwich shop
and/or bakery. The panioteca is a
good choice for a quick, economical
lunch. However, be advised that
Italians generally serve their
sandwiches simple. In this case,
http://touritaly.org
15
Tour of Italy for the Financially Challenged
English/Italian Phrase Book
simple means that the sandwiches
are generally not served with
vegetables (i.e. lettuce, onion,
tomato, pickles, etc.). There are
sandwiches that have tomatoes, but
they follow commonly accepted
naming conventions throughout
Italy. For example, a Caprese
sandwich will be made with
mozzarella di buffola, tomatoes, and
fresh basil. So, if you were looking
for a ham and mozzarella sandwich
with tomatoes and basil, you would
request un panino Caprese con
prociutto cotto.
http://touritaly.org

Pasticceria
A pasticceria is a bakery or pastry
shop. If you have a sweet tooth, this
could be the place for you.
However, American’s be warned
that sweets in Italy are generally not
quite as sweet as comparable
products in the USA. I have found
that many times the confections are
a treat to the eyes, but leave my
craving unfulfilled. Some pastries
that I have found to be agreeable to
my, embarrassingly American, tastes
are sfoliatella ricci (Sf-ohl-ee-ah-telluh ree-kee) – a flaky pastry filled
with a creamy custard filling, and
cornetti di ciccolate (korn-et-tee dee
http://touritaly.org
17
Tour of Italy for the Financially Challenged

chick-oh-lah-tay) a chocolate or
Nutella filled croissant pastry.
Osteria
These are small, family owned
restaurants and inns that usually
offer a simple menu consisting of
local favorites. Osteria's, though not
always, are sometimes the
outgrowth of a bed and breakfast
type of operation.Osteria's are a
typically more economical than a
full ristorante, yet more expensive
than a tavola calda. Usually you can
expect table service that is more of

The osteria is an excellent choice if
you would like to experience the
