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
So nice of you, thank you for the compliments
I'm a native Italian and not only don't your videos make me upset but they are pretty accurate. Keep up the good work.
Glad you like them!
Just arrived in Napoli today. The pizza here is out of this world.
YES!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how many days there?
@@GregorBrown Only one and a half days. I'm coming back from a trip to Tunisia but decided to make a quick stop in Napoli on my way back home to Germany.
I need to return there, what a great place for eating.
Io sono toscano e devo dire che hai descritto perfettamente le abitudini degli italiani
Grazie Amiho!!

Awesome videos and tips, thanks! You deserve at least 10x the amount of subscribers, but they will come soon with this level of quality. Found you from the coffee video and stayed for the Italian culture!
The channel is growing and we are getting there and I appreciate your positive support so thank you and thank you for sticking around for future content
BTW, I had already seen your channel because I watched your review of the Femobook.
Great video, great info
Thank you! I'm thrilled to hear the video was useful. Stay tuned for more travel tips and insights. 🌍✈️
Awesome video - thanks
Glad you liked it!
Nice , come
Over from
Your cycling videos .
We’re going to Venice in the summer so learning bits from your videos . ❤
Wonderful! Thanks for following on all channels
I like the lifestyle! 😊❤🎉
Yay! Thank you!
I can't wait to get back to Italy for the food and the sights! Yeah I way over tip!
don't tip at all, that's best. Get back over here!
Super informative gent who needs to make more Italian vids. You can learn a lot in a short time watching his videos!
Glad you think so! Thanks for the positive vibes. Where are you watching from?
@@GregorBrown San Diego, CA. I want to take my wife to Venice, Milan and Lake Como next October for a total of 10 days. Enough to get a feel for those areas?
yes, that's enough time. You might be able to fit in Verona too
@@GregorBrown Thank you!
Very informative video!
Glad it was helpful!
So even in Italy it’s a foreigner cooking our foods. Love that a Pilipino is cooking in this restaurant ❤and $49 for just one meal is pricy.. But, still can’t wait to try it all 😊
Yeah. And super nice chef 🙏
This video was filmed in April 2023 in Florence. Today the conversion rate is 1.10 That meal was $54.45 USD. WIthout tip. You couldn't get that meal in any similar restaurant in a comparable city in the USA for less than $80. The coffee alone would be at least $4. And don't forget you need to tip.
This video made me hungry and wish I was there now. Tons of useful info with fantastic editing. Do you often eat out? Thanks for your hard work!
thanks!! I appreciate the feedback. It's work but it's great to see comments like this and to present some useful information to my community. I eat out often, yes!
sorry for the audio issues, I didn't plug in my microphone!!!!!!!! ;(
You're a world champion eater mate 👍 👏
haha, thanks!
Great video my friend. Would love to visit my homeland someday and dine like you have in this video. Thanks my friend.
Thank you! I truly hope you get to visit and enjoy the incredible dining experiences Italy has to offer. It's a journey back to your roots that's worth taking. 🇮🇹
Yummy buona pasta❤
Omg! I love you!! My next solo trip is London to Italy. I am so happy to find your channel. I usually just purchase a ticket and off I go😅 and let the universe figure it out when I get there🫣😆. Your guide helps me do few research before I embark on my journey
Happy that you found my channel and let us helping you and I hope you can dive deeper into my videos enjoy every one even the ones outside of Italy for their entertainment value and inspiration for your next travel vacation
For water with no gas you can simply ask for "Acqua liscia" 🙂
that's a great tip for anyone visiting Italy and preferring still water. Grazie for sharing! 🇮🇹💧
Every country that I have visited the pace is so much slower and eating is enjoyable not fast pace and hurry hurry....lifestyle is so much slower ...taking time to smell the roses so to speak...Wonderful video..
Learned so much. Love your videos..I am traveling to Italy in September for a month. How much money should I bring?
How much money depends on how you spend but I would make sure you have your bank card for ATM money and a credit card
Gregor is the Casey N. of Southern Europe !
(I just disccovered him)
He's so good. Thanks
la dolce vita
saluti agli italiani
09:39 I need that GNOCCHI shirt!!!!
Haha. Just noticed it.
Hello! Great video ❤ what’s the name of the resto?
In the description? I think so. It's in San Nicolò in Florence
What about the very American "To Go" box aka Doggy Bag? I hear in France that is a very faux pas sort of thing. What about in Italy? Another great informative video. Grazie!
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.
takeaway as opposed to taking it to go.......amazing
Yeah you can ask for. Generally they don’t do it, but if you ask for a box for the leftover they bring you a box.
When you want to do a 3-5 course meal in Italy. Do you order all courses at the same time or one at a time?
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! 🍝🍷
are you sure you filmed this video in the past days? it looks too sunny 😄
greetings from rainy south of Italy ✌
yeah, 2 weeks ago, before the rain came.
@@GregorBrown lucky you 😛
yeah, let's hope it changes again soon,
We ate so good in Rome and didn't gain a pound!
I'm not sure you ate enough!!! :)
Isn’t it amazing? I moved to Italy and I no longer am on a diet and I eat amazing food. When I visit my family in Chicago I have to diet or just gain weight then I have to diet a bit when I’m back in Italy.
Is any of the water at restaurants free?
In Italy, tap water at restaurants is usually free if you ask for 'acqua rubinetto.' However, it's more common to be served bottled water, which is charged. Always good to ask first! 🍽️💧
What about Ice in drinks is it possible to get ice?
Yes it is but there's not as much ice that you would find the United States and so they'll offer you a few cubes
In Thailand if u tip, u have to put the money in the girl’s hand. otherwise the house takes it
Hi Gregor....Try the "corretto" coffee with Baileys and cocoa at the end of the meal....😁👍
Do you think Italian restaurants are more willing to offer free tap water -- like in France -- in recent years?
depends on the place, most will do so included the cover charge.
Any salad places ?
LOL. Not really
🤍💛🤍
It’s not rude to ask for tap water is it?
Not at all
What about sharing? How sharing food is seeing over there?
In Italy, sharing food is a big part of the dining experience. It's all about communal eating, tasting different dishes, and enjoying the company!
well. In Venice I was told “non posible “ when asking to split a secondo with my husband. I said fine. My husband will have blah blah and I will have niente. So there.
All the cooks are foreign. Meaning not Italian. They probably live there, but I was not expecting that.
you'll see that in many restaurants, not just in Italy.
Perfetto @GregorBrown
Grazie! There's nothing quite like enjoying Italian cuisine. 🍝🍷🇮🇹
