In this VIDEO:
❌ 1 - DON’T order cappuccino after 11am.
Cappuccino in Italy is a morning drink which has to be consumed together with your breakfast.
If you a fancy a cup of coffee after lunch time and can’t have your coffee without milk - go for macchiato. Same principle as cappuccino- espresso with a splash of foamy milk but it’s absolutely fine to have it anytime of the day.
❌ 2 - Don’t expect having early dinner.
Italians are late eaters. That’s why all local, traditional Italian restaurants start serving dinner at least at 7:30pm
Super travel to Italy tip: never choose the restaurant if the menu outside is in English. It’s usually a tourist trap - higher price for pretended to be traditional food
❌ 3 - DO NOT ORDER ANY OF THOSE:
Pasta with meatballs
Pizza with pineapple
Pizza with chicken
Those dishes do not exist in Italy. So please do not insult the Italians by ordering them.
Also when you order pizza in Italy you don’t usually share it with your friends. You order 1 pizza for yourself!
❌ 4 - DO NOT WEAR FLIP FLOPS IN BIG CITIES in ITALY
better don’t wear flip flops when you are in Rome or Milano.
They are for the seaside only! Seaside type of shoes. Period.
❌ 5 - DON’T WEAR Sandals WITH Socks
Sandals with socks is one of the worst things to be wearing in Italy. It’s considered to be no taste and again all fashion rules.
❌ 6 - No open legs and shoulders
When visiting churches in Italy you must be dressed appropriately and it is not possible to enter with clothes as if you were at the beach.
Remember general rules of visiting those gorgeous churches in Italy:
Legs and shoulders must be coves
Backpack, bulky handbags, hats must be removed
❌ 7 - DON’T EXPECT BRANDED, DESIGNER CLOTHING TO BE CHEAP IN ITALY
The prices for those brands are standardised and remain pretty much the same for every country where those brands have their shops.
❌ 8 - DON’T SPEAK LOUD in English thinking that Italians will understand you better.
They won’t. And it looks so funny for the locals when I a native English speaker is talking so loud like literally screaming and also making lots of movements with their hands.
If English is the only language you speak it is absolutely fine, nothing is wrong about it.
But! Speak slowly. And try using most common words.
❌ 9 - DO NOT GO TO ITALY WITHOUT LEARNING BASIC WORDS AND PLEASES
Knowing simple words like buongiorno - good day! Buonasera - good evening, knowing the difference between buongiorno and globally famous Italian ciao and where you should use one or another - will already make your trip much more pleasure.
❌ 10 - DON’T LIMIT YOUR TRIP TO ITALY BY VISITING ROME - FLORENCE- VENICE ONLY
Italy has so many interesting places to explore! All those little towns and small villages. They are similar and totally different at the same time.

It’s not true!! You can order offcourse a cappuccino after 11 am but not during your meal (lunch or dinner)! If I want drink a cappuccino at 5 pm yes I can!
Io faccio colazione dopo le 11😆😁
Sounds like too many DONTS. Just be yourself when you come to Italy guys... you’ll get why sandals with socks make you look like a loser along the way (all’ by yourselves)... you’ll realise by yourself why girls were not into you before coming, we promise! By the time you go home you’ll be getting pussy like there’s no tomorrow!
@@alessandracj582 but it's strange and people will frowning, mainly because milk is not well digested with salted oiled food. That's why we don't order cappuccino past afternoon. Macchiato could be a good solution as suggested in the video.
@@rivieragreen3826 no she is right. If you want to be the weird on street, suit yourself, but Italians do care about all the 10 points.
Can I add one thing? do not speak about mafia jokingly, never ever imply jokingly that your interlocutor could belong to it, it would be a terrible offense. While Hollywood glamorizes it, 99% of people in Italy hate it.
Yeah, that could bring a lot of trouble, like "don't ever talk to me again/go away"
True.. expect for a couple of idiot that might be involved in, the rest of the country hates any reference to mafia
Thank you!
My husband’s cousins and brothers always say they’d love to be part of it, it always makes me so angry, especially cause my father grew up in the suburbs of Napoli and lost a lot of friends. I tried to explain to them that it’s horrible what they say and I also tried to explain why 360 days is a very bad movie as it glamorises mafia but they just look at me like I’m being overly dramatic…
@@AngelicaAvolio that's sad. Unfortunately people cannot chose their relatives
#11 Mandolin music is only representative of certain zones of southern Italy, please if you are aiming to play some authentic italian music as background in your videos take this in mind: every region (or sometimes even city) has its representive music, just like food or culture.
Just to put this into perspective, playing mandolin while displaying Rome is like playing Sweet Home Alabama in the background while showing the streets of Manhattan.
ohhh this one! THIS ONE!
Spot on. It's about time that foreign people realize about this mandolin nonsense. Other Europeans are not exempt from this clichè - Germans in particular. For every video about Venice with mandolin music in the background, we need a video of Berlin with Yodel music - it would be just as accurate.
This mandolino thing is just plain stupid. Everytime I hear it, my cringe goes crazy.
I don't think she knows what Sweet Home Alabama is...
I didn’t know that and the Sweet Home Alabama analogy was a great example to explain this with 👍
I'm from Torino in the north-west of Italy. In Italy you can ask to cut pizzas for kids or for take away pizza.
Good video, but there is an 11th rule: don't use stereotypical music like that in videos about Italy. When I listen to it, I think: "Not again!" 😅
exactly, totally inaccurate clichè and there is plenty of great Italian music which is instantly recognizable by everyone... think Vivaldi's four seasons or Rossini's arias
Can order cappuccino when you want! the problem is drinking it after spaghetti or pizza 😂
Peggio ancora mangiare la pasta o la pizza col cappuccino!!!! 😂 😂 😂
Ogni volta che vedo questi video americani di chi da consigli su come comportarsi in Italia sono sempre sbagliati
@@Yarkin17 Esatto!!
Ma quello del cappuccino è un errore in buona fede, si capisce bene perché l'ha detto. Per il resto, il video è ben fatto.
Da Lucci , esplorare l'intero paese é sbagliato? sforzarsi di parlare un pò italiano è sbagliato? Entrare in una Chiesa mezzi nudi è sbagliato? Metter sulla pizza le alette di pollo é giusto? Ma vedi di non dire cazzate...
As Italian, I really do not understand how can people allow others to touch or eat you own pizza! Not even my wife is allowed to eat my pizza without my permission.
LOL 😅😆👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤💞
I share my pizza. I mean, we can make a fair exchange: you try one slice of my rucola and grana and I get a slice of you 4 stagioni. O no? 🤣
@@francescadelogu5969 this is allowed if both agree! But it can never happen that you can take a piece of my pizza without giving me something in return. Pizza is pizza! It's nice to eat it together. But everyone eats his own pizza!
Yes sharing pizza is a ninja turtle thing
Totally understand you! My partner is colombian, so really concerned about carbs, and she thinks that one pizza for one person is just crazy, so we’ve to share the same one all the times. I think this is the main reason our relationship is falling apart.
Please, as Italian, I'm asking you to stop with this kind of music in background...please stop with this mandolino.
Per loro siamo tutti naplez
just as accurate as playing yodel chants as background music to a video showing Berlin. Btw there are plenty instantly recognizable Italian music which is much better, think about Vivaldi, or arias from Rossini
yup, that's as cringy to Greeks as showing Greece with the music from zorbas and yelling OPA!!!
@@neurontechno in South of Italy we have similar music like Greek bousuki (mandolino) but it's an old way to sea Italians, a stereotype of poor immigrant in the 1920 with their cardboard luggage, closed in Coney Island in quarantine.
@@Francesco-js8nk well I guess foreigners and tourists enjoy stereotypes and have a false perception, most of the times preserved by those who benefit from that. Movies, tourist locations etc. For the record "Opa" literally in greek means "whoa" 😂😂😂
I'm Italian, I live in Italy and I order cappuccino at any time of the day. Nobody ever said anything about it. Order your cappuccino whenever you want.
Lei si riferisce al fatto che spesso i turisti chiedono il cappuccino a fine pasto. Per noi questo è strano come i calzini sotto i sandali
Si ma la maggior parte di noi prende il cappuccino la mattina presto, per colazione.
Italian here.
I can see the commitment in this video, and I can guarantee all these are 100% valid suggestions for first time tourists!
For what it's worth, you have my seal of approval 😂
Tbh you can find good italian restaurants with english menus, what you should know is that for italians "italian food" doesnt exists. Every region has its own typical recipes, if a restaurant has in his menu a lot of popular italian dishes that are not typical from that region/city, you're most likely walking into a tourist trap. For example if you're in milan and a restaurant has on its menu carbonara (typical from rome) and lasagne (typical from bologna), you're in a tourist trap.
I also find "the fashion thing" quite overrated, we wear usually comfy in summer, especially by day, just avoid to wear too shabby if you go to restaurants or churches: i cant stand a grown man in shorts and baseball hat to the restaurant.
La carbonara non è tipica romagnola, ma romana.
@@stefanocangini7039 sì...esattamente quello che ho scritto...
@@mattiasantangelo9421 Azz... con il traduttore automatico "Roma" è diventato "Romagna", per questo ti ho corretto. Poi rileggendo il post originale ho capito. Scusami 😃
Comunque non è detto che i piatti tipici, ma ormai patrimonio nazionale, siano cattivi fuori dalle loro regioni. Se il ristorante ha un cuoco che sa il fatto suo si può trovare un'ottima carbonara pure in Val Brembana.
A friend of mine moved to London years ago and found a German girlfriend there, they live together. Anyway, last year he got back in the summer as usual but you could really see how he started to lose some Italian "manners", so to speak.
I shit you not, the first thing everyone of us told him the first time he saw him was "why the hell are you wearing flip flops?" Even before saying hello. It was funny cause we managed to see him basically only one at a time and every single time he got to hear the same thing, he eventually started wearing shoes again. This summer he stayed 2 whole months and i didn't see him in flip flops once, we saved a soul there!
I was in Rome for over 3 months in total, absolutely love it!
"
Your advice nr 9 should be the first one. It changes a lot tourist's life in the way to be much better welcome. And yes Italians make sometimes gestures (especially in the south) when they are talking (or not...) when it has sense (and each gesture has a precise meaning), not like ridiculous tourists from north Europe doing that, thinking it's cool to do that in Italy without any reason, like a nervous tic 🙃 They can't even imagine how local people think your place is in a psychiatric hospital 😅
I love your video. Don't forget another little tip: Italy is long and exist greath difference between north and south Italy. I live in Rome but i'm come from Milano and there is different time for dinner, different traditional food (in Milano the best food is "risotto"), different habits. And much more the temperament are different. In north the people are gentle but chill, in south look much more wellcoming but sometimes too much (i tell this because i' from Milano 😀😀😀)
6:01 😂the guy with the whiteask and flowers is so gentleman like
Sandals with socks is like a first degree murder in Italy, same carbonara with cream or mushrooms... 😂
Surely sandals with socks is a no no everywhere? I am English and have no fashion sense but I at least know that!
Cappuccino can also be delicious in afternoon hours, instead of tea, but only during the coldest season.
Oh, i'm an italian old lady living in north western side of the country.
Actually, pasta with meatballs exists in some regions of the South, a fact not very renowned even by fellow Italians. But it's a special local dish, not something you can order everywhere or in a major tourist city.
I have to visit those regions ☺️ love trying very local traditional food 😌
The right order is:
1 Food
2 Football
3 Catholicism
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏼 love it! So true!
completely wrong :) 1)Women/Men 2) Football 3) Fashon.....Catholicism is a stereotype
ma quando mai il cattolicesimo, ma sei mai stato in una funzione religiosa? $ vecchi ottantenni e null'altro!
@@bafio671 that's true but................women/men-food-football-fashon
Skip number 3
the Most accurate is definitely the last one. Everyone goes to Venice and Rome, but it is such a pity to miss places like Lucca or Siena.
The tradition of drinking cappuccino only in the morning is fading away as we are becoming more tolerant towards that.
You can still have a pizza with pineapple or chicken, but it would be such a waste when you have such great combinations to try! Why opting for an american one?
P.s.
A girl like Anya can do anything she wants : drinking cappuccino at 3PM, wearing flipflops, order a cappuccino with a pineapple and dip a slice of pizza in it.
Because rule#11 Italians cannot resist the charme of stunning women :P
Don't forget Capri, Cinque Terra and Portofino, 😀.
Have a GORGEOUS time in Italy, Anna!!!! And thank you for the great tips! 🌎💐🐦💖
Aww thank you so much 🤩🤗🤗🤗
Absolutely LOVING your videos on Italy! SO helpful!
I was smiling all through this video. You are probably a great character to travel with. I'm not kidding. You should consider making a series of travel videos.
Great idea actually! I’ll show you some Sardinia soon 😉
That will be different 🙂
Hopefully Russian will follow soon 🤞🏼
Great advices!
I can confirm everything she said.
There are so many italian stereotypes abroad is ridiculous!
TBH in Italy we follow precise and ancient bonton rules concerning salutations. From dawn until midday you say "Buongiorno" (good morning), while after midday you can say either "Buon pomeriggio" (good afternoon) which is very uncommon, or the more common "Buonasera" (good evening). In the late evening the rule is to say "Buonasera" (good evening) when you arrive and "Buonanotte" (good night) when you leave.
Well, I think this may vary from region to region. In Liguria, I use to say Buongiorno at least until 3 or 4 in the afternoon. I would never say Buonasera at 2 p.m. for instance, and most people I know do the same
Love the videos Anna. Headed to Rome in Feb Thanks for the tips
Funny thing is that in Italy until Napoleon nobody used to greet other people. The only words used were “salve” or “salute”, sometimes Ciao (in the north), but Italians didn’t know “buongiorno”, “buonasera”, “buon pomeriggio”, “buona passeggiata”, etc….
It was Napoleon who took this expressions into Italian, coming form French ….
Yes we were a tad harsh those days ….😀
I swear to God: I'm italian and I have NO idea where this legend of not having a cappuccino after 11am ever came from. It's just not true. Guys, you can have a cappuccino in the afternoon as well, it's a thing.
I got a strange look when I asked cappuccino at around 2pm in Sicilia 😉
The guys even corrected me ‘maybe you mean macchiato?’ 😁
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel I cannot imagine why the guy did that. Maybe you were in a restaurant? This is the only case in which I could guess what happened (cappuccino is not an item on the menu of most restaurants, they can bring you coffee or a barley coffee or the drink we call "ginseng coffee", at best with a drop of milk, but no cappuccino or latte or "bar items"). Other thant that, being a frequent cappuccino-in-the-afternoon consumer myself, I have no clue. I hope it's not some weird joke on the tourists, that I would not condone honestly!
@@valeriacavalloro2729 I bet he was making fun 😉 like only tourists can order cappuccino this time of the day 😁
Get your granita with macchiato 😂
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel Don't mind those strange looks. In Italy you can have whatever you want, whenever you want , as long as they are willing to provide you with it. It's called Freedom.
That's right: explore our country. There's no only Rome, Florence, Venice or Milan. Suggestions: Turin, Ferrara, Rovigo, Siena, Sorrento, Amalfi, all Sicily and Sardinia and Northern Alpi Mountains.
speaking of early dinner, there is a 3rd option: you may simply have a 'merenda' ~17 o'clock :-)
I'm Italian that live in France. Every year I return to Italy for holidays. This year I noticed more and more young Italians, especially girls, that ask an "Americano" as a coffee. A big coffee. This is really new...
Where? If someone does it he isn t an italian
@@2f402 I was surprised, I never drink a coffee like this, but I noticed that particularly at the coffee shop with young people, especially young women...
@@michelpirovano6703 where?north italy?
Yess, and it is full of Starbucks here in Milan sadly
@@unknownzzz5115 Yes, I wonder that's the reason why...actually I ain't taste it...
I am Italian and I really liked your video. You are so nice. All things you said are true.
Aww thank you so much 🤗 I appreciate it ❤️
Bravissimo Anna. If we try to learn some words, they start up to be more helpful. Enjoy your stay. With tasty food and wine.My self I really like pasta carbonara, made the Italian way, what else. 👍👍👍
Thank you very much indeed 🤗🤗🤗
Gosh I love carbonara so much 😌 the only thing that stops me from having it now is +36C outside 😁
Great video, i'm italian, i live in Rome. Everything in this video is really true and funny to listen to for me as an italian. I did not know that some things that are done here in Italy abroad are strange or so different.
I wanna tell u the true about cappuccino: drink it whenever you want, except during meals. 8am..11am..even 1pm, but do not drink it at restaurant with your meal. In the afternoon, we usually drink cappuccino only seat at the table...usually...
Fai merenda con il cappuccino il pomeriggio 😂..ma poi ceni?
@@cateyedboy6614 practically since I was a child I had a cappuccino snack (sono italiano eh).
@@cateyedboy6614 se ti basta un cappuccino il pomeriggio per poi non cenare allora capisco perché ho la tartaruga... Capovolta.
No: never drink cappuccino after 11 am. Please. How can you even think to say this?
@@naveconterosso
Io lo bevo quando e dove voglio...al mattino al pomeriggio alla notte...quando mi va insomma. Avere la regola anche per il cappuccino...anche no!
I have been watching your videos about my country...thank you for explaining our culture to the world!! It means a lot!!! I live in California and it is always a struggle to make people here to understand how we really are!!!
Beautiful video. I'm italian. You told all right. Just: ask cut pizza is not a problem, is good if you take a look before if the pizza maker is very busy. Grazie1000 per questo bel video. Ciao.
I would add.
1. don't order latte after 11 am. it's a morning starter like cappuccino
2. if you are hungry you still can have an appetizer. go into a bar and get some decent wine with starters. then move after 8 pm (20) to the restaurant (taverna, Trattoria, Bistrot, Yes we have several names for the same thing in italy)
3. don't also order Cheese and mac. Most foreigner things that what they are used to eat in their own country is real italian. big fake. it's the adjusted taste to their needs. and pizza is cut only if you get in a take away.
4. regarding flip flops or "summer things..." well we are pretty much open. way more than before. there are still some exception like museum, churches, or high end restaurant which will refuse your entry since you are not copying their dressing code. it is more likely to be used on beach but you still can have dinner or lunch on restaurant which have dehor
5. sandals+white socks = German wearing style
6. very true it is a question of respect.
7. branded names are no more produced in italy. so i suggest to go for local craftsmen shops you can find it all around big cities and you will get real handmade italian products.
8. we are italian not deaf. but we are able to understand also foreigner if they indicate something they want.
9. depending on the places, you may occur in italian laughing at you for your attempt, or even pulling your leg. it is highly recommended in any case to learn some common sentences in the foreigner language of the country you are going to visit. I would suggest also to try to get around with people that can know english but they are native of the country which can help you out in choosing the best food to get region by region.
10. visiting italy can take years. so don't be discouraged but try to focus region by region each time you come to Italy.
And that's all by an italian guy
Hai ragione. Exploring Italy.
Anche un italiano si sorprende sempre delle diversità. E' un mix di culture,tradizioni, modi di vivere. Questo è l'Italia
You speak a very clear and clean english.
It would be' marvellous all native-english was able to do it.
ottimo video!!!! ricco di indicazioni giuste
🥰bravaaaa, very good job!!
Excellent video,
I'm italian and I can assure that the first one is extremely overrated.
Yeah, Cappuccino in Italy is mainly a breakfast hot drink, that's true.
Anyway we sometimes drink it even in the afternoon. Yeah, it is not the most common thing we do, but we do that sometimes.
Ordering a Cappuccino in the afternoon is not considered "Rude", feel free to order it.
I would like to change the advise with: don't order a Cappuccino in a restaurant after dinner: that's absolutely sick for us.
I'm a native of Italy but I've never heard the kind of music you let us know, pretending it's an "Italian style"! It's another stereotype.
Second: Roma is just a very small part of Italy. Saying "don't expect to have dinner early" is wrong: especially in the northern part of the country, it's normal to dine at 7.30 pm. If you wish to have dinner at 6 pm, you should stay at home.
Beh, insomma. Io normalmente voglio essere sempre fiscalissimo sugli orari dei pasti. Pranzo alle 13:00 e cena alle 20:00; a cena piuttosto meglio alle 20:30 o alle 21:00 che alle 19:30. Ho il migliore amico che normalmente inizia a cenare tra le 21:00 e le 21:30.
P.S.: Sono del Nord, di Sanremo.
@@mattiacaldari1084 Lei porta un caso personale quando si parla di cose generali.
Che senso ha?
Ha detto che i ristoranti aprono alle 19:30. La cena "presto" è alle 17:30 - 19:00, a seconda della provenienza.
A quell'ora in Italia mangi al bar. Anna ha detto bene.
Ma scusa in quale parte d’Italia è normale mangiare alle 7:30, che io sappia soltanto in Trentino e nei luoghi montuosi
@@shownmarion8242 in Veneto è normalissimo d'inverno mangiare alle 7.30. Un mucchio di gente lo fa, non vedo il problema. A me sembrava molto più demente come faceva un mio zio che cenava alle 9.30 e poi passava la notte sveglio con il mal di stomaco perchè non riusciva a digerire.
Great tips. What would be your top lunch location in the center ?
All true! Very good advice.
At 5:23 while you're talking about not wearing flip flops there's a person who's walkin with them 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m Italian and I can confirm your video is very accurate! Congrats and thanks for the beautiful words you spent for our lovely Country 🇮🇹 Just a copule of mistakes:
- 12:30 “Buongiorno” means “Good morning”, if you want to say “good afternoon” that’s “buon pomeriggio”
- as for the entrance to churches, it doesn’t really matter if your legs are uncovered (unless you’re wearing a mini-skirt which is basically the same as trying to enter in underwear 🤣) or you’re wearing sandals, both are ok, they require you to cover shoulders and don’t wear any hat, that’s it
- as for the food, of course we have spaghetti and we have meatballs in Italy, but you won’t find spaghetti and meatballs together 🤷🏻♂️ finally, there’s another dish that most of foreigners believe to be typically Italian but it’s definitely not, it doesn’t exist here at all: the Alfredo sauce!
Manco io lo sapevo th-cam.com/video/Sk9HCxfIREo/w-d-xo.html
is not really true, some recipe have some little meat balls, like pasta alla teramana, or the pasta n'casciata of calabrian's tradition.
and the pasta Alfredo tipical roman dish is a pasta with butter and parmigiano, mixesd togheter to create, with some coking water, a "cream" that envelops the pasta , usually tagliatelle.
Eating pizza by hands is not mandatory in Italy...
I'm italian, and I've never heard of this cappuccino-11AM rule😅
Sometimes I drink cappuccino as an afternoon snack (usually with something sweet like a croissant or a pie). Cappuccino is definetly not an only-breakfast-drink. You can drink cappuccino whenever you want without seeming odd, if you drink it alone or with a snack like a pastry or a slice of cake.
The "strangeness problem" arises when cappuccino is drunk during dinner or lunch or at the end of them.
Nessuno lo beve dopo mezzogiorno 😂😂
@@gaia7240 mah, conosco parecchie persone (me compreso) che nel pomeriggio, se si ha fame e si vuole qualcosa di più sostanzioso, o magari se ci si ritrova tra amici/colleghi prendono un cappuccino invece del caffè. Non mi sembra una cosa così fuori dal mondo, l'ho visto fare spesso, soprattutto se non si è riusciti a fare un pranzo sostanzioso e magari si ha voglia di qualcosa di più lungo da bere di un caffè :)
@@anlakes bo siete strani, invece appunto per non bloccare lo stomaco dal pranzo non si prende e se non si ha mangiato molto nessuno comunque pensa al cappuccino, però vabbè pace eh non è la fine del mondo😂
exactly. the 11Am rule is not existing anywhere in Italy. certainly you do not drink milk at lunch or dinner but cappuccino can be enjoyed without looking weird
Great! You are really nice and kind in this video. As an Italian, I can say it's quite right, even if the "rules" could change from city to city, or in certain regions. A tip for travelers: if you like to have dinner earlier, because you're starving, you could wait until 19.30 or 20 eating an ice cream around 17 (5pm),or having an "aperitivo".
Also, you can ask to have your pizzas cut, but only if you decided to take them away!
A suggestion for you Anna: don't move all the time while speaking, it's a little bit unprofessional and makes my head spinning around😂
That is why Italy is great. Strong communities and traditions.
Everything u said is correct 👍☺🤗🇮🇹
I'm Italian and I have to congratulate you for your explanations..
I've seen how you talk about my country with so much euphoria and passion..
But Anna.. you forgot that we are all a bit mad and men are incurable latin lovers.
And last but not least .. you are really beautiful !! 😍
A warm greeting !!
Silvio
If you want to have dinner early you can go into a Pizzeria, not the restaraunt type, but the ones that got slices of different kind of pizza (You can find it everywhere in Italy). They sell pizza all day, usually after 10:30/11 a.m. (if you go early you won't probably find much, cause there everything is made in the morning around 8/9 a.m.)
for men. do NOT use : "Ciao Bella" if is not your girlfriend...
Not use it also with your gf if you don’t want lose her
@@diegograssi9269 with this behivor you will get 2 results: if you tell a woman you will pass for a maniac or for the "usual drunk English jerk". if you tell a woman, accompanied by a man, you also risk ending up with broken bones. It depends who you meet and in which part of Italy you are. One last piece of advice .... the Italians, "strangely", like all Latin and sentient peoples, believe that it is rape when a man takes advantage of a drunk woman! And the police too! dear friends across the Channel, pay close attention.
When you wear sandals and socks in Italy you're basically screaming LOOK AT ME I AM GERMAN
yeah, but if socks are white
Italy's least-favorite tourists? 😉
In Rome i got sometimes pizza bianca (focaccia bread) with chicken salad. So it's true that chicken with pizza is weird but that's an exception.
For coffee , stick loosely to these rules:
- Espresso or Macchiato after a meal. Those are usually the ending part of a meal, after dessert. Those two are considered light drinks, and you can have them whenever you want. Even at breakfast, you if want a quick one.
- Cappuccino for breakfast or early mornings in general. Better along with a light snack. Cappuccino are BIG, and the milk inside makes it a heavy drink when you belly is full.
You can have one at late evening but it's considered like asking for a butter biscuits before going to bed. But if you want it anyone , no one will arrest you.
TL;DR:
light snack/light breakfast + cappuccino/espresso/macchiato in the morning.
full meal + espresso/macchiato.
espresso/macchiato whenever you want.
Maybe something is not right
Buongiorno means literally “good morning “ not “good afternoon” that means in italian language “buon pomeriggio” (i.e. after noon)
Also,it is not common in Italy the greeting “good afternoon” even if it is right, of course : the most common greeting is good morning until earlier afternoon.
There is a precise bonton rule concerning salutations. From dawn until midday you say "Buongiorno" (good morning), while after midday you can say either "Buon pomeriggio" (good afternoon) that it's very uncommon, or the more common "Buonasera" (good evening).
"every region has its different food", well, actually it's true but for every town, especially the smallest one haha
Thats so true! I don’t think 1 life is enough to try all Italian food 😁

"Don't wear flip flops in big cities in Italy"
Lady wearing flip flops walking in the background
So, you went to piazza San Lorenzo in lucina ( I recognise vitti, Ciampini and Teichner) , vicolo della torretta ( santo vino), and via della lupa , but I didn’t see you, when you come back in rome I appreciate to offer a special cocktail for you
Everything She said is true! Well done
Ottimi congli, tutti correti. Brava.
3: there is also pizza al taglio, its for more than one. Round pizza is for one!!!
10: all italy is worth visiting, there are some of the best beaches you can find, the best mountains, the best tiny towns, i'm italian and ive travelled a lot, i can say with no doubt that italy is absolutely fantastic (some tiny cities worth visiting are famous too like Matera, amalfi coast or 5terre, but also a lot of places in every region is wonderful...) i can also tell you not to miss Napoli and all the province of Napoli, absolutely astoneshing (pozzuoli, submerged city of baia, vesuvio, sorrento, pompei). But Rome is still the best city to visit, too much things to see, its my hometown and i didnt visited even the 50% of the most beautiful things here... yes there are colosseum, san pietro, pantheon, castel sant angelo... but also villa pamphili is worthy, coppedè, trastevere, san giovanni in laterano, ponte tazio, parioli, zodiaco, gianicolo, monteverde, testaccio and much more. DONT TRY TO GO TO PERIFERIC WORLD KNOWN PLACES LIKE SAN BASILIO, it wouldnt have any sense and it only will put you in a risky situation, its risky for a roman, i dont wanna know how can it be for a tourist.
Here in Milan it's quite normal to ask for presliced pizza. Don't know in Rome. It's also totally normal for the majority of people to use forks and knives to eat it.
Bravissima 👍 ottimi consigli
Grazie mille 🤗🤗
Absolutely adorable beautiful woman thanks for the videos I'm American italian going to Italy for the first time videos very helpful
Well, I have an habit to wear sandals with socks, thanks for the point and the video, I really appreciate it. (Because most probably I would have been deported haha)
Try not to do it in Italy or France ;) those fashion capitals are not very tolerant :) deported - of course not! but they might give a the look though :P
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel yep, maybe they'll act imbecile. But again as I say it, respecting and following the cultures of a place that one visits is a necessity. ❤
@@pataudi8025 get your cool trainers (sneakers) they will be much comfortable to walk around Rome 😉 with these roads 🙄 I have no idea how to wear sandals here 🤣
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel Well, that's true lol. I don't think we have some famous beaches in Italy, and plus the gravel carved roads in the cities. Sneakers are the way to go for sure.
@@pataudi8025 Little correction as an Italian: we nearly have 8000kms of beaches, islands included, and we have many wonderful places with nothing less in beauty as compared to the most famous beaches in the world. We have rocky beaches and even some places where to go surfing (not at the same level as right on the ocean, but still...)... So you can bring your sandals and flip flops ;)
I'm Italian, and I thank you.
1 "Buongiorno" means "Good morning". We have anther word for "good afternoon" ("Buon pomeriggio") and yet another one for "Good evening" ("Buona sera"). Commonly is rare we use "Buon pomeriggio", you'll hear more often other 2 expressions
2 We have sliced pizza, but you'll not find in restaurants. Also there are places where you can order pizza no stop, where they bring you sliced pizza that comes in different flavors.
3 Personally i don't care at all about flips or socks or whatever. I consider those "appropriate attire" rules as a boomer things. An by this, i mean that maybe only my grandmother may notice that.
Bravissima e molto ben vestita!
Anna Goldman, tu se bedda ! Heartfelt opinion from a Polermitano to you !
I can't believe someone in the background said "ciao bella" at around 04:10 😂
3rd option for food early is aperitivo or apericena ;D
You can have cappuccino in the afternoon, but not at lunch or dinner. The thing that makes us cringe is the combination of sweet and hot cappuccino with pasta or other savoury dishes. We would still cringe if you had tea, hot chocolate or other sweet hot drinks.
asking to cut the pizza is ok for a take away pizza
WoW! Is it? That’s interesting ☺️ I’ve never tried it in Italy 😉
As an Italian I can say that these tips are very useful! However, if you want a cappuccino in the evening, order it as well. We are not so fundamentalists, at best they will make you smile.
Thanks again Anna. Much love from South Africa. Do something on Russia please
Thank you very indeed 🤗 I’m glad you enjoyed it.
As soon as it’s save to travel to Russia for me 😉 hopefully October - November
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel that would be awesome. Thank you. You love Italy more than other countries?
@@web-dreams good question actually! I love many countries 🙂 I’d compare it with having lots of kids and loving them all but differently 😉 if you know what I mean 🙂
Italy is a fantastic country! I’m happy to visit it and to live here temporarily but I would not choose it for me permanent settlement 🙂
@@web-dreams what’s your favorite country? 🙂
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel I think my own. We have the most amazing nature, climate and people. Other than that, I am a foodie, so anywhere where food is part of the culture and people have respect for each other is my favorite
I have to agree, socks and sandals is a no no lol😅
7:30 PM, what is it? Austria?
Bravissima e grazie per educare i tuoi compatrioti ^_^
Brava! Tutto corretto 🤪👍
Thank you, Anna. I am considering my ethnic origins, because it seems I am almost 100% Italian without even recognising it :D
you deserve more subscribers
All super correct! But just to letting you know, pasta with meatballs exists, and it taste really good! But you cannot order in every place in Italy, it's a speciality of Abruzzo!
Esatto, spaghetti alla chitarra alla teramana si chiamano (teramo città in abruzzo) le polpette sono piccole e non giganti come nel piatto italo americano...e questo è tutto 😂🫡🎩🤗😏👌🏻
and btw of course someone with flip flops walk by when you talk about them haha
😂😂😂😂 well... that’s the truth of life 😆
5:22 "Don't wear flip flops in big cities"
>> Woman with flip flops passing by (probably a tourist) XPP
😂😂 she must’ve been 😁 at least she wasn’t wearing socks at the same time 😉
5:24 while she is saying yo not wear flip flops a woman in the background is walking with flip flops🤣
I'm Italian and you do gesture even more than we do! @.@
Mss G Anna, I have been to Italy twice, but sorry I won't eat pasta.
Also in Venice, even if we do have water everywhere and you can smell the sea, flipflops are not the best way to go!
😂😂😂 point! No flip flops in gorgeous Venice for sure!
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel Your feet would hurt like hell with those, after a while, walking in Venice.
A "Calle" can be tricky to stroll about.
02:58 - There is also third options, totally italian (especially in Roma) and also cheap...
You might buy, at almost anytime between 10am and 9pm, a good pizza slice in one of the thousands small pizzerie in Roma.
Normally it is not served at dish and you can take away and enjoy it while walking around visiting the town.
Taking public transportation (except trains) with such thing in your hand or with a cup of beverages is totally forbidden, so be aware of that.
"Buongiorno" is for "Good Morning"
For "Good afternoon" we say "Buon pomeriggio".
It's much difficult than this because we have different parts of the day in our speech... but if you use these connections, you can't do a mistake.
Best person ❤️
you can add to your list the pepperoni pizza and alfredo's spaghetti: they are not tipical italian food
Can I wear Chaco’s sandals in italy? It has a back strap with it. 🙏🏻
next time come to Naples, Anna, me and my family will be glad to take you around in the most beautifull city in the world!
🤩🤩🤩 Napoli!! Would absolutely love to! I can’t wait to visit! I have to try your famous pizza 😉
@@lucaschiantodipepe2015 ovviamente, parlo con cognizione di causa.
Naples is the most overrated city in the world. Don't even step the soil of this 3rd world city
@@naveconterosso ok, you sure know it.
@@lucaschiantodipepe2015 Napoli è una della città più brutte d'Italia in uno dei golfi più belli. Ma guai a dirlo, se no si offende il sud senza nerbo e orgoglio
You can find some places to buy the most famous brand cheaper and they are called OUTLET. In the north there are many
Thats true! But it won’t be a new collection, the sizes will be limited and you will need to spend the whole day getting there and coming back 😉
But if you have time - yes, this way is the best
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel Yes you’re right! But if I don’t have enough money, who care the new collection 😅 bravissima for your vídeos!
Even pasta Alfredo! 😄😄😅
