Important Tips

Make reservations whenever possible, especially if you’re traveling during peak season and for dinner, which is when some restaurants are more crowded;
Always give preference to the house wine: it is tasty, pleasant and goes well with most of the dishes available on the restaurant menu;
If you are in doubt about what to eat, ask the waiter for a suggestion. Usually, the specialty of the house does not disappoint;
Avoid ordering dishes from other Italian regions in the region you’re visiting. It may sound silly, but they are very offended; if you’re in Tuscany, for example, avoid ordering a Spaghetti Carbonara, typical of the Lazio region;
Ask for a suggestion of where to eat at the reception of your hotel. It is not difficult for them to know fantastic places that are cheap and close to where you are.
