13 days until my wife and I go to Rome! We’re so excited. I’ve been using iTranslate to practice some common phases as well. I agree that learning some basic words/phases makes the experience so much better. Love the video!

I was in Rome for a week. Just got back. Never needed a word of Italian. They all automatically spoke English to me. 😅

I just returned from Italy and saved your video . I asked for Leggermente Frizzante in Ristorant Daria Montapulciano when asked what kind of water I wanted- the server looked at me like I had two heads 🤷‍♀️

Thank you … that’s really kind of you . I really appreciate.

I am so happy I came across your channel, fabulous Anastasiya! Everything you share is sooo useful! Grazie Bella!

I just love your videos! We are planning to be there in Italy April 2025. We will be visiting Venice and Rome. Do you have any favorite restaurants in these areas?

I came back after 1.5 weeks and my personal tip is to roam around a bit then find a place that gets busy around 1-1:30 pm for lunch, and 8-8:30 (like she said) for dinner where most, if not all of the customers are italian. Personally, I wasn't disappointed. And yeah i learned basic italian which came in super handy. Also, if you feel like the food is taking a long time... just wait it out. 99% of the time, they haven't forgotten.. the food comes out as it comes out. If a table came before you, and got their primi before you have, just.. be patient. It's not like the US where generally food comes out in order. They do a remarkably good job of remembering orders even if it looks like they haven't written anything down. Lastly.. this might be a weird one but don't expect a 360 degree change in demeanor or politeness just because you spoke some italian. Yes they're friendlier to their own, but I've noticed their manners aren't enormously different towards the locals. Unless you're in a fine dining establishment, the service is a balance of politeness with deft and semi-curt efficiency. Sure I've had enough friendly all smiles servers but that wasn't always the case.

Hello, My wife and I will be traveling to Rome in the middle of April 2024. This has been my wife's dream vacation for years. While there, we will be celebrating our 37th wedding anniversary. Can you suggest a place for dinner that serves traditional local cuisine. Also, how do we schedule a food tour with you? P.S. We absolutely love all your videos. Very helpful.

@StayFabulousTL

37 years - wow! What a beautiful way to celebrate an anniversary! I don't do food tours personally, but I have an amazing team who does my food tours. Here are the links for both so you can decide which one you prefer: Day Food Tour: fabulousvita.com/product/day-food-tour/ Evening Food Tour: fabulousvita.com/product/evening-food-tour/ Once you book, I will send you all the information along with the restaurant recommendations.

another great video! My wife and I are so excited to visit later this year! My wife has a tree nut allergy and I am a little worried about communicating that with restaurants. Do you think most places will be understanding and accommodating with food allergies?

Definitely! Just let your waiter know and you should not have any issues. Have a wonderful trip!

Can you get an expresso with Disaronno??? Over ice

What an utterly charming woman. I have travelled to Italy many a time and I promise you that this is very good advice, especially you must never go to the main square in a city or a busy town which are rip-offs in general. As is suggested here, go to a place where there is no English on the menu and you will get the real thing. This is going to sound a little preachy, but when you are a guest in another country (and that is what you are as a tourist) the very least you can do is learn a few words and phrases in the language. That said, my Italian is so appalling I once very nearly ate horse (which in Ireland, where I come from, and the horse is virtually worshipped, this would be worse than eating your grand-mother). I was only saved from this sacrilege by the lovely waiter, whose English was even worse than my Italian, doing a really good impression of a horse neighing. Please share this very excellent site with any friends who are thinking of travelling to this, in my opinion, the loveliest country in Europe.

Haha! Thank you for sharing! While you are learning the language - these kind of things are unavoidable. When I was 19 and just learning Italian, I was searching for hairdryer (internet hardly existed at that time.) I asked a waiter where can I find a hairdryer in Rome and he sent me to a helmet market. Spent an hour trying to find a hairdryer in a motorcycle helmet market...🤦‍♀️

never let a cafe serve you an "americano" when you ask for a black coffee. that means they dont know anything about coffee. either (1) keep repeating, (2) order something else, or (3) find another cafe.

Also I think I should ask for my bill after I order so I don't have to wait until the next day to get it :)

Haha! That's a good strategy!

If dining with friends, etc, is it okay to ask for the check to be split or just order separately. We're going to Italy in March.

@StayFabulousTL

You can definitely ask for the check to be split. Have a wonderful trip!

Everything perfect!! 😊 Bruschetta is "brusKetta" as well as pistacchio is "pistaKKio", that's because in italian alphabet letter "K" does not exists (such as letters W Y J X do not exist) so we have to "make" it using the combination "ch". 😊

They will typically bring one bill to the table and then you can split it with your cards/cash.

Do you or anyone reading this have any advice for sober people traveling to Italy? Alcohol seems like it’s so ingrained in the culture that I’m nervous that there will be a lot more pressure on a sober person..

As an italian I can tell you there will be no pressure at all. It's quite uncommon for us to be completely sober (there are many people who just drink just a glass of wine while eating in restaurants though), but no one will bully you if you don't drink at all lol

if you need to have rules before ordering.. then it is superficial at best... pass on them.. go to a local family run cafe/stall restaurant instead

Please tell me your favorite restaurant in Rome!....thanks!!!!!

What's your favorite Italian Dish? Sorry if I missed it in the video. Authentic Italian restaurants can really be quite lavish.

There is not difficult at all ! Italians are so easygoing! They don’t care about your language they care about if you are able to pay

T believe in being polite and respectful in any restaurant. As far as rules outside of that, no.
