Little tip: when you hear "Uè guagliò bello sto rolex" run as fast as you can
Cimo Anto hai ragione hahahaha
ahahahahahahahahahahah. "Ué turist, beautiful this rolex!"
Mai sentito parlare della "satira"? Se riesci a scrivere un commento su youtube allora sarai in grado anche di cercare il significato su google
Cimo Anto ma che satira hai detto solo stronzate, sta frase si portava ai tempi di mio nonno...aggiornati

You can? You better flipping do that!
@@ingriddubbel8468 What an odd thing to be so self righteous about
I guess he was meaning that you need to cut your own pizza while normally abroad it arrives already cut in slices from the kitchen.
you can if you are a kid or if you are in a very informal place, if you are in a nice restaurant you would look like a caveman.

You should NEVER ask for “spaghetti bolognese” you should say “tagliatelle al ragù “, same thing for pepperoni pizza, “peperoni” are vegetables in Italian
Esatto 😂
"la bolognese" è come dalle mie parti (Napoli) chiamiamo il ragù emiliano, per distinguerlo dal nostro. Evidentemente gli americani hanno assimilato sto termine... Ma gli spaghetti col ragù non si può sentire 😂
@@kekkuzzo75 Però i bigoli con il ragù di anatra... non dimentichiamo comunque che la parola "ragù" deriva dal francese "rat au gout de boeuf"... no scherzo... forse...
I'm pretty sure spaghetti bolognese means spaghetti from bologna in Italian, right?
@@kaylag5043 No.
First, spaghetti are NOT from Bologna.
Second, spaghetti are fantastic with tomato sauce (that is NOT ketchup!), alle vongole, all'amatriciana, alla carbonara, cacio e pepe... but not w/ ragù, please!
Third, choose tagliatelle al ragù instead :-D
The *important thing* is:
*don't go in TOURIST RESTAURANTS*
Venezia hamburger 18 in piazza San marco
@john boss
They are usually right in front of tourist destinations and with signs/menus written in English. Stay away from those. They charge way too much and the food is usually not very good.
What I've learnt from italy is that the best way to get italian food is by knocking on someone's grandparent's door.
Can't click this hard enough. We italians know better than to get ripped off in a tourist location xD
How can we distinguish one another
The "coperto" in restaurants isn't a different type of tip, the money you give to pay for the coperto don't go into the waiter pocket but in the pocket of the owner
yeah, the coperto is basically when you pay to eat inside the restaurant, in my city you pay the coperto inside the restaurant but if you go in the garden you don't pay for it
@@gaiadev467 Lol è divertente vedere due italiani parlare di cose italiane in inglese.
all'estero si fa la mancia perchè i camerieri hanno tipo metà stipendio e l'altra metà lo fanno di mancia.

As an Italian, I appreciate it that you depict my country in a pretty accurate way. One small thing though: never have I ever eaten pizza with knife and fork 😅 we actually make fun of those who do so
Ogni volta che vado a mangiare una pizza con i miei amici mi prendono sempre per il culo. Ovviamente scherzano però comunque sì, io la mangio con le posate.
so wait how are we supposed to eat it in Italy??
@@ulyssesibarra9159 with your hands
@@MaoDunGe okay thank you
Yup, and i keep always seeing people eat it with knife and fork... You do you, but i can hear Gualtiero Marchesi rolling in his grave as people don't get to appreciate the true taste, texture and culture coming from pizza.
"TRENITALIA": the words that terrifies the world
It has gotten worse with time.
Michele Firsoli It might depend on the area, but I made the experience that most trains come within 10-15 minutes of their scheduled time, so it is not that bad.
I read near Naples they have an unfinished highspeed Station.
Still "Deutsche Bahn" has to be much worse. They really make clear to anybody we germans are not a nation of trains but cars
Trenitalia > Deutsche Bahn. And Matthias, the station is finished ;)
I don't use trains a lot, just sometimes when I miss my bus to school, and they usually are on time... then there are days when a train is 20 minutes late for no apparent reason...
more important, do not expect italy to be all the same, 2 city a few miles away can be TOTALLY different, basically every region of italy is more like a different state.
Exactly, greetings from Rome
Giulio Costantini tutte il top😊
Even the accent of every region, if not a city, is different in Italy: do not think that we all talk like "T' farò un'offertha che non pothrai refeotare!" or "Uè, guaglio! Bon' a' pizza! Pizza fritta a' n'euro!" For example the way of speaking of a Milanese is clearly different from that of a Neapolitan; a Torinese will speak very differently from a Barese; a Veneto will have a completely different cadence from a Roman, it is so on.
Italy has only been a country since the 1860s, so yeah every area is totally different.

@@luckyluke3254 shut up
@@benscotttylermatthew Why do you immediately insult me instead of trying to talk to me like a normal person first?
4) **Italian aren't best at foreign languages**
No, Italians often aren't best at italian xD
7) You don't eat pizza with your fingers? It's not really the case. It's a personal choice, but many here in Italy eat it with our hands. It's true many people aren't going to share, but it really depends on how well you know each other, it's not uncommon to have two pizzas and get half of each.
10) Often here a breakfast is "cornetto and cappuccino", or a coffee, many people never have breakfast at all.
The rest is pretty accurate
Victor None ask the french 🤭😬😂
Don't ask for a "cornetto" when you are north of the Gothic Line.
No. 13 - don't ask for a latte unless you specifically like a cup of hot milk. Yes, I have seen this many times and the expressions when the hot milk turns up are priceless. Remember, you're not in Starbucks.
Charlienmeg 😂😂😂
This is not a Starbucks only thing, this is an American thing. Any coffee house you go to in America, a latte is by default going to be espresso with milk. In Italy, if you want what Americans think of as a latte, aren't you supposed to order a latte macchiato? I forget.
@@manicjupiterflute order a caffellatte, there's more coffee in it ;)
"In Italy, latte means milk. What in English-speaking countries is now called a latte is shorthand for "caffelatte" or "caffellatte" ("caffè e latte"). The Italian form means "coffee and milk", similar to the French café au lait, the Spanish café con leche and the Portuguese café com leite. Other drinks commonly found in shops serving caffè lattes are cappuccinos and espressos". From Wikia.
Or a Venti :) They will think you're asking for 20 Euros LOL Don't order Cappuccino but only in the morning; anything else like a macchiato or simply, an espresso, for the rest of the day. I prefer macchiato decaffeinato so I can sleep at night.
The cover charge is "coperto", not "coperta". "Coperta" means "blanket".
no,vuol dire coperto cioe' con la testa sotto un tetto mentre si mangia.deriva dal medioevo dove a volte gli avventori arrivavano con le loro cibarie e chiedevano solo di mangiare le loro cose,cosi l'oste li faceva pagare il coperto,cioe' un posto al coperto dove mangiare

Non fare come i brasiliani ora, gli italiani non hanno questo potere, MA IO SÌ
I'm Italian and I eat pizza with my hands.Yeah,there are people who eat it with knife and fork(like my mum),but I just find it frustrating and...well...pointless.I cut the pizza in 4 slices,then I pick one,I bend it in 2 and...GNAM!Buon appetito!:-9
same.
I usually go back and forth w both honestly
Hey I am from a village so I eat it with my hands too!
charalampos Tsouflidis eheh, stupid villager
Same here! enjoy your pizza the way you want!! :)
I've got one more tip: Don't CUT YOUR SPAGHETTI!
Italians hate that. You need to roll them around your fork.
Americans do that all of the time.. I've never heard of people cutting spaghetti in order to eat it. That seems counterproductive and inefficient.
+James Johansson Germans do, didn't know that Americans don't do that
Nico RosbergFan that's right! It's something you can do, here, only for little children to help them eat spaghetti when they're very young
i am italian and even if im used to roll, there is nothing wrong in cutting ^_^
I'm italian and cutting spagetti is the best way to eat them. sauce won't go all over the place.
Biggest don’t of Italy
Don’t put Ketchup on Pizza, it will trigger Italians
I’m not Italian
Trigger? You're lucky if you get out of it alive
Omg sooooo true, when it comes to food (and other things too but food is the big NO NO) we go cray-cray🤣
Like, if we go elsewhere and there’s a minimal minuscule different detail in a plate that’s supposed to be Italian, we take it personally, like seriously.
I know that it can be annoying for foreigners, believe me, I have to take my Italian family in very specific places when they come to visit😂🙄
Another thing, never ever put anything on your pizza, no ketchup, no bbq sauce, the only thing that should be acceptable in Italy is to put more cheese on your pizza🤣 (sometimes also olive oil, I know my dad does that🤷🏼♀️)
Also don’t order pineapple (ananas in Italian) on your pizza, E V E R, unless you wanna lose your head🤣
Codroipo! I hate culinary nazists.
puffolotti it’s not being a culinary nazi, it’s just wanting to stick to tradition, I mean, wouldn’t you be a little upset if someone changed tradition or something that you created? I’d be, but we never minimized or made a huge thing out of it, punto.
@@MrChristinaguilera
Let me answer this question:
"I mean, wouldn’t you be a little upset if someone changed tradition or something that you created?"
Not a single neuron in my skull feels that way, for 2 reasons.
First one:
www.deviantart.com/ibr-remote/art/MakeHuman-Anime-Style-Guy-In-Poser-822831839?comment=1%3A822831839%3A4799538777
You see? I won't go as far as calling myself a pinguinist, and i never miss a chance to make fun of hard core pinguinists, but i fully agree with the words attributed to King Rama IV and repeated by the current Dalai Lama: " when science proves religion is wrong, religion must change. "
Second one has to do with a funny, borderline crazy friulian half-secret tradition... You see, Gubana, Frico, Tiramisù,...
Are supposed to be like fingerprints or retinal print. Every self-respecting friulian changes some tiny detail and claims he's following the primal recipe.
Ironically the keeper of the primal recipes and patents of Friul is a japanese professor, Shinji Yamamoto. If you want to make gubana like real friulians should, you should ask him.
But if you invite me to judge your attempt, i don't want primal Gubana. I want YOUR gubana. I'm there to devour your mind and soul, and nothing less.
Then, about protecting and disclosing traditions... Mine is a mere opinion:
Look at Sanpei and his brother in law, then look at Fantozzi and Filini.
If i go fish and i see the 2 couples of friends... well...
If you look cool and have good results, i'll come by myself and ask you how deep i should set my bait, how much lead i should put on the line and so on...
If you looks desperate and don't show results, and come to me with unsolicited tips, i'll exquisitely ask you to worry about the problem of starving polar bears.
As simple as that.
Wait. Eating pizza with hands is absolutely fine in any places in Italy. It’s actually less weird than using fork and knife.

"Italian food" known in America that does NOT exist in real Italian restaurants in Italy: Caesar Salad, Alfredo sauce, Pepperoni, meatballs and spaghetti.. I am sure there are more. And, also, Italian cuisine is highly regional, so tomato sauce and mozzarella and spaghetti that you find in the South like Naples, basically is not served in Tuscany and Emilia Romagna (it's mostly butter sauces there and local cheeses and various tortelli and tortellini pastas).
@@user-vq6ym6qg4j who says there is no good Italian food in the US? There is basic red-sauce food that's good and there are high-end proper Italian restaurants serving regional Italian cuisine that are also very good. My point was about "invented" Italian food in the US.
Alfredo was invented in Italy. Americans ruined it by adding cream. Its a butter sauce.
Fra, i cappelletti
@@ingriddubbel8468 yes but we do not usually sell Alfredo sauces in italy, pasta with cream is a different type of pasta such as "Gramigna panna e salsiccia" (Typical Bologna's pasta with cream and sausage)
david hacckerman who is Alfredo?? The restaurant is called Alfredo alla Scrofa and is in Rome. It opened in 1914 and was the restaurant that invented fettuccine Alfredo. After 30 years in Italy, telling all my foreign friends and family (with authority) that fettuccine Alfredo does not exist I learned better, from one of my more cultured and informed friends. :)) I actually ate there last year with one of my nieces who was visiting from Canada.
the way you love Italy and Italians warms me up so much. I never think someone would really appreciate our modern culture so much. Thank you!

@@mysticflower7795 you are the Kind of person that makes me like my country
modern culture haha the only place where i got charged double the price five minutes after my first purchase and had to bargain for the real price
@@goodluck9089 yeah it really depends on where you land and what you visit. As I intended in my original comment, with time I always find less and less to like about my country. Unluckily there's tons of scummy people, especially people that deals with tourists and tourist attractions. But going around in Europe I can assure you there's a lot of unsafe and scammy situations all over the place that you can get yourself into. But it shouldn't stop the fascination one could have about someone else's culture. If you ever come back I hope you'll get treated better
I'm Italian and I agree with everything except for:
- use fork and knife for pizza only if you are in a restaurant (or if you really feel comfortable with them) because in all the rest of the places we eat pizza with our hands :)
- tips: it's not a rule so you don't have to but, trust me, if you give a tip, even small, everyone will love you because especially in non-touristic cities, waiters and bar staff are not paid that much and most of the time they're students or people who really need money. Giving a little tip is a wonderful thing for them. (I've been both barista and waitress)

13) don't order a cappuccino after lunch or dinner... Never ever!
Andrea Frustini i do this all the time? What is wrong with that?
sdgtr4 cappuccino is for breakfast.
after lunch or dinner, you may order "caffè macchiato", that's a coffee with a bit of milk (the macchiato could be "caldo" (hot milk) or "freddo" (cold milk), you choose when you order)
I usually drink it while having my meals. Yes, I drink capuccino while eating pasta, meat or whatever else. I was born and raised in Italy, so... I think people can do whatever they want as long as they like how it tastes.
Lavinia Raspelli Io vorrei capire se siete davvero seri su ste cazzate o se scherzate, perché mi turba il pensiero che possa davvero esserci qualcuno che dice a qualcun altro cosa mangiare e quando farlo (e qua sotto ho letto commenti ben peggiori, alcuni addirittura "se in Italia fai questo devi morire"). Viva la libertà di pensiero insomma. Se a me piace pasteggiare a cappuccino non faccio del male a nessuno, al massimo a me per il troppo caffè che bevo in un giorno, e non credo ci sia il bisogno di giudicarmi -e giudicare chi come me lo fa- per una cosa tanto stupida.

Sign me up!! XD
I wanna add something: when you enter any shop (but especially food stores such as bars and restaurants) a lot of foreigners say: "ciao!". That's NOT correct, in Italy we have a polite way of speaking to people we don't personally know, so instead of "ciao" you must say "salve", if you don't do that the other people are gonna instantly recognize you as a tourist which isn't always a good thing depending on where you are. So please just remember this little rule and save yourself from some weird looks...
in Italy 95% of people eat pizza WITH HANDS, only 5% or less, eat pizza with forks............... and, btw, tips and "coperto" (or coperta like in this video... "cover service") are two different things: coperto it's like a "tax" that owners put for table, cleaning service etc, and tip goes to the person who give you the service only! it's just sweet and nice, if you leave a tip, even just 1-2 euro.... but they will appreciate it!
ps. yes, I'm Italian.
Honestly I don't like receiving tips. I feel unconfortable and I'm already paid for my job. I think it's more a personal attitude but I don't like tips at all.
Well, I'm Italian too, and I eat pizza - in pizzeria - with knife and fork. Whenever I see someone eating pizza with hands, TBH I think that he is a uneducated person, who didn't learn to use correct tools (or who doesn't know how to behave well in public places). I noticed that lot of people who eats pizza with hands is unable to eat it with kinfe and fork, so... probably I'm not too wrong. My suggestion is to not use hands in pizzeria: people around you will look at you in a more positive way. Obviously, I eat pizza with hands only when I buy "pizza al taglio", and - yes - it is cool :)
Samuele Manfrin ma sarai del Nord qui a Napoli la vera pizza si taglia con le posate ma si mangia sempre e religiosamente con le mani- qualsiasi altro metodo sarebbe strano. Naturalmente le mani vanno lavate prima...
Sì, sono in Toscana... ma in tanti amici campani me l'hanno sottolineato: deve essere un'usanza prettamente partenopea, visto che poi alcune conoscenze siciliane e calabresi mi dicono che è meglio usare le posate. Non so che dirti, mi fa specie, onestamente, perchè anche i "maccheroni" (spaghetti) si mangiavano con le mani, e tanti quadri di non molti anni fa mostrano quest'usanza da street-food ante litteram. Il fatto che la pizza si continui a mangiare con le mani è fuori dal mio modo di vedere, idem per la cerchia di persone "nordiche" che conosco, quindi mi sentirei di dire che al nord è meglio usare le posate, e al sud no, per onorare antiche tradizioni che, evidentemente, sono rimaste :)
Samuele Manfrin in fondo giunto qui dal Inghilterra al inizio non conoscevo il "modo" ideale di mangiarla con le mani- gli amici mi hanno insegnato il famoso "piegala da un pizzo al altro". Io al inizio protestavo ("cosi la pizza non me la godo pure con gli occhi!") ma poi ho visto che evitavo di sporcarmi e mi sono abituato :-p

The tip thing is not correct, we do tip. We just don't have a standard in tips. The "coperto" is supposed to be the price for clean glasses , bread and so on. A robbery.
Yes this is correct, but the salary of the maids is higher than in the Usa or Uk! The waiter is considered a good job and is already well paid! So the tip is not necessary.

You forgot one thing: don't order Pepperoni pizza and be disappointed if they bring you a pizza with peppers on it. Peperoni is the italian word for peppers while the thing americans put on the pepperoni pizza here in Italy is called salamino piccante (little hot salame!). So if you wish for that you should ask for a Pizza con salamino piccante. I just thought to set this straight as you mentioned Pepperoni pizza.
Tips in italian restaurants,"are not" included in the bill of the meal under the voice "coperto", coperto is just a way of the owners to cover tax spendings.
In Italy if you leave to us even 1€ as tips we're happy,why?
Because we work 14 hours a day in restaurants for a shit salary,and to know someone appreciate our job and service with a tip,always a pleasure.
But don't tip
La mancia è per il buon servizio. Un servizio scarso avrà una lamentela, uno medio non avrà mancia, un buon servizio una piccola mancia e un ottimo servizio una grandiosa mancia
Gianni F. Guardi a volte succede anche che con un ottimo servizio le mancie non arrivano, comunque quello che ha detto è abbastanza vero
Scotti medolla if you think someone deserve it, it’s the best thing you can do as a customer.
@@Liggliluff yea of course, nobody force you to tip,you tip only for a good service.

Jack García Not to live in
I'm spaniard so you're not gonna win me on messy economy.
it is definitely the best place to live in the world
...it's nice to visit...not to live.....Life in Italy is very stressful, every type of rules , how to walk, how to talk, taxes even for the air you breathe (just kidding, but is very close to the truth..:) ).......There are so many incredible facts that only in Italy are possible...for example you can't call a friend to help you with some work on your garden if you don't pay taxes.......italians are convinced Italy it's a nice place to live, but it's not....they don't know how the life is in other countries...
Being an American of Italian heritage I don't speak the language..But one time I met this really hot girl who liked Italians...I told her i spoke the language. One night at a fancy Italian restaurant I tried to impress her by ordering in Italian....I asked for a "Trattore a base di forno"..........,And he looked at me weird and said we don't have broiled tractor on the menu..

What a great video! Love the passion you put in it! And everything is right
GRAZIE! Great video with REAL advice about Italy. Everybody visiting Italy should watch this FIRST.
I like how the Italian man randomly gave him a drink lol, if someone hands you a drink in America you would probably throw it away😂
He was very likely from the restaurant you can see in the background but yeah, this is totally common in Italy outside of touristy places (Spain as well). Or you order a glass of wine and they will pour you half a bottle (while charging you for a glass) and then chat with you.
In America...You'd wonder WHAT WAS IN IT! In America....unfortunately..it is NEVER a good idea to drink something someone randomly walks up and hands you. (exception...in grocery store on sample day..:-)..lol )
Most likely he ordered a drink or was eating at that restaurant and the waiter just handed it to him outside. We do not give drinks to people randomly and surely nobody should drink something handed by strangers. Unless it's a free sample but it wouldn't be such a big glass and it wouldn't be on the streets.
He's drinking a "Spritz"! Cheers!
If you go to small villages, expecially in the south, people are much more warm and it is very possible that you get invited to lunch at their home or have many glasses of wine together!
I live in Rome and you did a great job, agree with all of these 👍
(Except the "eating pizza with knife and forks") 😂
Thank you. I just can't imagine eating pizza differently. 😁
Yeah, I saw that and wondered how many people I unintentionally offended because I had pizza several times and always picked up each piece with my hands. Not sure I could even eat it with a knife and fork!
è a vicenza, cioè al nord ( io sono di verona quindi vicinissimo), qui le abitudini sono diverse e ti assicuro che mangiare con le posate la pizza non è per nulla strano, anzi, diciamo che le mani non sono più mal viste come 20 anni fa ma non è di certo quello preferito dalla gente, specialmente gli adulti non li vedrai mai mangiare una pizza a fette. mi ricordo da ragazzino che la prima volta che ho portato la morosetta in pizzeria mi sono trovato spiazzato perchè non avevo mai mangiato una pizza con le forchette e non volevo sembrarle un bambino che mangia con le mani quindi mi sono messo ad armeggiare maldestramente con forchetta e coltello 😂
Facebook is racist to Italians. It deletes the Italian facebook pages. Italy should sue facebook
I’ll just bring along chop sticks and I’m not even from China 🤣😂🤣
Great video. I'm living in Italy the past 4 months and this guy is pretty much on point with this.
Don’t forget the aperitivo is the one of the best thing in this beautiful country
ok, please americans listen to me. these guy is mostly right but (that's extremely important): never ask for spaghetti bolognese. it's just not an italian dish. i'm from Bologna we have something similar but it's not spaghetti, it's "tagliatelle" (widely known as "fettuccine", they actually are the same stuff) and this dish is called "tagliatelle al ragù", where ragù is the name of the meat based sauce,ì, an icon here. what's the difference? spaghetti is a kind of pasta made with corn, tagliatelle is made with eggs. last, but not least, every italian city has his traditional food, so don't ask for "tagliatelle al ragù" in naples for example, it will probably sucks. when you come here, just ask for what is traditional here: we will be ever happy to give you informations about (and that's true, we love to share infos).
"this guy" sorry, my english is not perfect.
Mattia Santangelo ma scusa stanno dicendo di non visitare l'italia?
Daniele No, stanno dicendo cosa non fare se si visita l'Italia
Your English is lovely, thanks for the tip.
Ma scusa, da quando gli spaghetti sono fatti col mais (corn)?? Al massimo col grano xD. E poi anche le tagliatelle (o fettuccine) sono fatte col grano, ma con l'aggiunta, appunto, dell'uovo! Poi, di ragù ne esistono vari tipi (quello da te menzionato è il tipo ragù bolognese), come il ragù napoletano o comunque varia in base alle regioni
We DO NOT eat pizza with fork and knife... we use hands

Are you interested to come in Italy ALSO for try local food?
Give a try to “Romagna”, the southern part of Emilia-Romagna area. I’m talking about 45min from Bologna, cities like Ravenna or Rimini.
Ask for “Cappelletti”, “Tagliatelle” (pasta) and “Piadina romagnola” (something comparable to an Italian taco, with a lot of stuff inside). You won’t be disappointed.
Written by Marco, an italian man who loves US and who knows the tastes american people loves.
"something comparable to an Italian taco" OUCH! I had an heart attack!"
As Italian, this guy have right.Visit a lots of historic Medieval villages
completely built with local stones in Central Italy is a great experience with much relax

The most important Don't is "Don't rush." Part of the joy of traveling in Italy is taking things slowly: lingering over lunch, strolling through open-air markets, taking time to people watch over a glass of wine at an outdoor cafe, as the Italians say, enjoying "la dolce far niente."
Also, don't order cappuccino after 11 am. In Italy it's strictly a morning beverage.
Gobear1 Well, we work in Italy, too!. Otherwise we couldn’t be a G7 country and so many other things. However, you may have right, travelling requires you to have a more relaxed and slow time but it’s for you tourists. Don’t expect Italians will do the same, especially during the morning and the afternoon. Generally, people have to do an amount of things: managing the house, taking care of the family, working...you know, the average life each person of the world does. And the “Il dolce far niente” is an Italian expression which is rarely used. Use it with precaution in Italy. All the best.
Very accurate! Thanks for your passion towards Italy, and don’t forget to enjoy the region of Umbria!
Finally something accurate😹 love this!
I’m half american too living in Padova and this is so true! And important for outsiders!
I'm Italian and I actually eat my pizza with fingers, and everyone I know does it! ahah

vero, se è un calzone anche anche ma pizza con forchetta e coltello? mah...
Mastino #DabFactory ma quando é appena sfornata, é difficile mangiare con le mani. Io uso sempre coltello e forchetta e almeno a Torino, anche gli altri fanno la stessa cosa. Dopo un po' diventa più dura e si mangia anche con le mani

As an Italian I watched the whole video with a smile on my face! You got everything right! :) and now...I'm gonna have a spritz! By the way, thank you for mentioning my hometown, Bassano!
Very good video !!! Thanks for saying so many good things and explaining things
Another tip, DON'T try to send food back to the kitchen if you don't like it, especially in family-owned restaurants. Many will get offended, and some may even kick you out for disrespecting their great-great-grandmother's recipe. And otherwise don't complain about service, etc. In Italy, the owner is always right; not the customer.
And on tipping: don't tip, but don't be a cheapskate. If you pay for a €47 meal with a €50 bill, don't ask for change back. Generally just don't make a big deal out of a couple euros in any situation.
+joe john you are right. I should have said something about the leave tye few euros part. Good call! Grazie!
False. I always send back food when it's not good.
The point is that italians they ususlly don't complain and pretend that everything went good.....
Becouse keeprs start with the idea that Americans think to be the Univers' Master and they want to show their arrogance with everybody, for this a similar behavior is considered offensive.
joe john I can suggest you to visit a different country, we hate arrogant tourists. In the past few years I had been working as a waiter and every day I had to deal with a lot of arrogant tourists from foreign countries.

''paisano'' probably is an italian-american word (in standard italian would be ''paesano'', anyhow rarely used in standard italian); not my case: I'm from Rome not from Sicily or Naples (88% of Italian americans come from there).
I'm Spanish and besides the food parts, it sounded like he was talking about Spain. Italy surely shares a lot of traditions with us ahah
ALVCM it's true! Actually because until 1860 the South was under the Borbone's crown 😁
Zia Elollip Well actually bourbons were french. I think the origin of the italian-spanish mutual influences is becouse napoli, sicily and cerdein (i dont know the name in english, cerdeña would be in spanish) was part of the same crown until the sucession war in the early 18 century. By the way, spanish people LOVE italian. It's like a romantic cute version of it
We are like brothers
my roomate in college is half spanish and anytime I swear in my dialect she understands what I said, because of the similiarities between Sardinia and Spain
***** ciao troll
Being Italian, I truly appreciated tip #6... Great video 👏👍
and please guys don't wear flip flop in the city hahaha such as tourist outfit!
PS love the way you speak so passionate of Italy
Italy is one of the greatest countries in Europe, hands down. So beautiful.
noooo 😂😀 actually most of us eat pizza with our hands 😁
we do also, he probably meant that most Italians use cutlery to cut out slices, but once cut we pick up slices with our hands, always been like that, unless you go for very tiny little pieces but that's not common.
I do both. And nobody complained.
kevin mask: I have made the experience that Italian Pizza is often to thin to eat whole slices with your hands, because they will bend and everything will drop down. When I eat Italian Pizza I usually start with fork and knife and only eat the last part of each slice with the hand.
Fold the point to the crust then fold the crust and eat :)
That's what you think! You should see what I'm building in my laboratory. It can also smell with its kneecaps!
Wise shit mate! You just forgot the most important rule though: if you eat ananas on pizza... Just don't. Stay at home please.
Indeed. Ananas on the pizza is just-- wrong.
Ananas on pizza was a marketing gag (Pizza Hawaii) done somewhere in Germany by an _Italian_ pizzaiolo back in the 1960s when canned ananas came up. It was meant to be a fun thing but stayed ...
akronymus Not so fun anymore lol
YES ! im half italian and live in germany so i cant eat ananas on pizza but everyone here in germany is eating it...
salviaaable
Ananas on pizza is heaven compared to what they sell as 'salami' or 'prosciutto' (I really don't understand why most people still order the crap). I turned to the very simple pizzas without any ingredients that really can be bad. Cheap mozzarella is still edible, for example.
are you crazy? "coperto" is not a tip! tip is accepted, trust me, i'm a waiter since 1995....
dice che non è oblligatoria
@@giackthedemonandothermadne2863 dovresti ripassare il tuo inglese ;) ciao!
Ha detto così perché negli Stati Uniti lasciano mance che a noi sembrano assurde (anche 30-40€, ma se non fai almeno il 10% del prezzo veramente ti vedono male, forse il certe zone lo chiedono proprio, e non è che il cibo costi poco), mentre in Italia si usa arrotondare il conto o al massimo da 1 a 3-4€ senza arrotondare.
Fantastic job at explaining Italy. Basically everything I have said to family! And thank you for sharing that drink. I saw it everywhere but didnt know how to order it. Will get one next year when we go back!
Ok, first:
DON'T ASK FOR A PIZZA WITH ANANAS!

the main reason to shop for clothes in Italy (or Germany, or Japan) is not for better prices, but to find something exclusive, something that may not have been shipped to the US.
as for avoiding tourist restaurants, that goes for everywhere. everywhere. any restaurant that knows you won't be coming back (no matter how great the food) isn't going to have great food.
"the main reason to shop for cloths in *Italy* (or *Germany*, or *Japan* )
You did that on purpose lmao (Axis)
The main reason to shop for clothes in italy is for the quality
Makes sense

+Cecilia In Kim grazie Cecilia!
Wolters World but you didn't specify that the real pizza is in Naples only. Every town has its own variations, which are all good, but the true pizza is the Neapolitan pizza.
Not really dude, every pizza is awesome / Non proprio, tutte le pizze sono fantastiche
I ate Pizza in Naples, Siena and North Italy, and they're not so different.
WAIT. EATING PIZZA WITH FORK AND KNIFE IS BLASPHEMY. (Written by an italian)
se vai in una pizzeria "elegante" (a Treviso dove vivo io alla pizzeria/ristorante da Pino mangiano tutti con forchetta e coltello, ci sono dei macchinoni del parcheggio da far paura) penso sia buona educazione mangiare con le posate.
Io la mangio da sempre con le posate
Ma per piacere; non esiste un protocollo su come mangiare una pizza in italia, basta avere un po' di buon senso a seconda del contesto...
Da Pino a Treviso si mangia una tra le migliori pizze d'italia
Dipende da dove la mangi, io a casa la mangio come mi pare ma al ristorante con le posate
Omg he gave u a drink such a kind man I m already falling in love with this country
Thank you! I enjoyed that info. I am planning to visit Italy some day soon.
ahahah spot on; but we eat pizza with hands too!
this is probably one of the best short-list-advises video on italy.
I'd better say we use too fork anc knife.. pizza is supposed to be eaten with hands!
Well it depends, I surely use the cutlery to cut it in pieces, and then if I am eating with good friends I'd use hands. But in a formal setting, I'd use cutlery all the time.
ogni volta che vedo qualcuno mangiare la pizza con forchetta e coltello muoio un po' dentro
Yes we doooooo!
Lived in Florence for a year... learning a few Italian words goes a long way... Those oldies at the central market playfully won't sell their fruits or veggie to me unless I try to name the items in Italian. I've learn so much because of them and felt extremely warmth from the locals.
Of course they couldn't sell you anything, knowing English well enough to understand a native Anglo-Saxon person is pretty rare here in Italy, and is exspecially uncommon in old people. They were born in a time in which English and American people were considered the enemy (fascism and ww2), and going to school was VERY rare in the 1920/1930s.
It was a pretty smart move to learn some words on your part, that way you'll move and live better in the country.
Dude, you have a beautiful family, Please teach your babies well and your videos are awesome.
Thanks, absolutely perfect! A fantastic summary and an excellent guide for Americans who are often unprepared in Italy, thank you very much for this tutorial. Hello from Palermo
@That clone trooper in the back on the high ground ain't no way
Dear Walter, i am proudly italian (sorry for my english) and I have to say that all the things you mentioned are completely true. In particular a want to emphatize the Point 6. You are absolutely true!! Despite Italy has the most beautiful cities in the world, the best of our country is in small toen and villages. I should mention thousands of them. San Giminiano in Tuscany, Mantova in Lombardy, Capri in Campania, Taormina in Sicily. There are small towns with more monuments and art than all northern europe put togheter!!
His name is not Walter.
He's mentioned this before, he's a nice guy and doesn't mind a bit of confusion over his name, so don't worry about it.
also Parma
I'm one-quarter Italian; maybe mostly Scottish. My great-grandfather used to say Buon giorno in the morning when he got up, hobbling along. My mother visited Barga, Lucca, where my family is from. It was beautiful in pictures.
No, in my experience...no meatballs in the spaghetti!!!
My great-grandmother used to make very large meatballs; you eat them without sauce!!!
''Buongiorno'' is formal, americans when in Italy use to say ''Ciao'' to everybody that looks so unformal and unpleasant toward people they dont' know. Umpfh!
*****
Ah!
hey i from lucca and i know barga very well! got a lot of friends and some part of the family there!
yanma
Wow! You are blessed. I don't like where I live now in the US. Barga is g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s! My mother's name is Marchetti.
I am italian, in my life I've worked mostly in bars and restaurants and I can assure you that we LOVE tips! Italians don't tip because they are rude and stingy, every single waiter or bartender I ever met thinks the same. We get all of our tips only from foreinger tourists and fellow waiters/bartenders. The 1,50/2€ "tip" we all pay in restaurants is a stupid old habit, it goes right in the restaurant owner's pockets, it made sense a few decades ago, but now it doesn't anymore, you basically pay more for nothing and waiters are sill paid less than they should.
Greta Ricciolini should you hand your tip directly to the waiter/waitress to ensure that it doesn’t go only to the owner? Also would doing so get the server in trouble? Thanks :)
Hello Mark, my wife and I will be visiting Italy for two weeks late August to early September from Houston. This video and all your videos have helped greatly. We were wondering how soon or how late should we wait to find a reasonable round trip ticket to Rome? Thanks for any help.
If I'm eating pizza I'm eating it with my hands, no exception. I don't care what anyone says.
it's completely normal to eat pizza with hands in italy (obviously, u have to cut it in 4-8 slides).
USUALLY, adults and girls use fork and knife to eat pizza but don't worry....no one will care about how u eat it.
I eat pizza with my hands too...and do I love pizza....!! 😍😍😍
I'm italian. You MUST eat pizza with your hands.
1. Actually the right way to eat a Pizza is with the hands.. if u see somebody eating it with the fork give him a slap!
2. Sharing pizza: When i was in US, i remember the last night we were all going out together and the teacher asked us what kind of pizza did we want. I thought it was because they order them before we arrive so they were ready the moment we walk in. I was terribly wrong when i was at half of my pizza and everybody, ironically angry at me, shouted "give us a piece of your pizza!!". I thought they were joking, like "you ordered yours, get the f*** off!" So i finished my pizza while they were still yelling at me and then i understood... when i realized there were 3 pizzas and we were 6.......
Guys.. just.. no! It's not how it works, i don't care, USA, Malaysia, Sweden or Mars... everybody must have their own pizza!
True. Like you wouldn't think Americans would share their food but in Italy it's not every man for himself it's every pizza for itself
I actually hate sharing a pizza. I will order a small or medium to myself. I live in America. I hate sharing a pizza because everybody touches the goddamn pizza with their dirty hands that you have no clue whether they washed or not.
@@manicjupiterflute Well to be fair, they only touch the slice which they plan on eating, not the whole pie
Bullshit! We eat pizza with knife and fork. Non diciamo cazzate.
I laughed so much at this 😂😂😂😂😂
Love the pictures of your family
This is wonderful. Thank you!
Thank you
I visited Italy with my brother 2 months ago. It was by far my favorite European country. If you want to visit a perfect Italian village I recommend Spoleto. It was a 1.5 hour train ride outside of Rome and makes an amazing day trip. It was not super touristy but there was several major sites like a large fortress, church, and aqueduct. It also had so much charm and local appeal. Thinking about it now makes me want to go back so bad!
Rome was also amazing. Lots of tourist but there was so so so much to see. I highly recommend at least 3 days devoted to just Rome.
ITALIA!!!!!!
Also DO NOT PUT ANYTHING EXTRA ON YOUR FOOD. NO SALT. NO KETCHUPP OR TOMATO SAUCE. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR EATING WITH A FAMILY
Salt is usually ok.
@@tylerhipp5604 you can put parmesan or pecorino only on your "primo piatto" (pasta, soup, rice, polenta but NOT pizza :D) and some very specific "secondo" like trippa. We usually don't put parmesan on seafood dishes. Someone don't put it on mushrooms dishes as well (I do lol).

If you are interested to buy fashion clothes in Italy a good choice could be going to and "Outlet". They are fashion malls located not so far from the main cities and almost everything there has a discount. There are also some bus companies that organize trips to go there. The biggest is 2 hours far from Milan, in the town of Serravalle Scrivia.
