Excellent. So much better pacing than most language videos I've seen. And it's also great that you include what the waiter would say, cause when ordering in a new language hearing an unfamiliar response is usually what gets you stumped.
Molto Grazie Signorina! Seeing your smiling face made my day. Lovely to immerse myself in Italian again, such a pretty language, just made for opera and singing!
In preparing for my first trip to Italy a month from now... last night I asked an Italian cafe owner in Berkeley, CA about the use of Fare when ordering. He said no. Of course a person could use any words they prefer to use, but he said the verb Prendare is more likely to be used- at least for you (not the waiter). Example- "Prendo un cappuccino e due cornetti vuoti. - I’ll take a cappuccino and two plain croissants." - Not "LET'S DO a cappuccino and a croissant", etc.
How did it go? Hell yeah sounds intimidating but I understand some words I am a Spanish speaker I one day want to go to Italy and actually order an Italian or an actual Italian restaurant
Grazie!! Haha 😂 it must have been very beautiful over there LOL that's my goal whenever I get a girlfriend so I could go to an Italian place here where I live or even actually Italy and order in Italian that's a goal of mine hahha
What do you say if you do not want one of the courses? Just, non grazie? And does the waiter/waitress take the order for dolce, digestivo e caffe at the same time as the other courses?
You could add "solo" (only) when you start ordering: "Facciamo *solo* spaghetti alla carbonara". Or you can normally order and if the waiter asks you about the second course you'd just answer: "Niente, grazie/ A posto così, grazie". No need to order everything at the same time, you can just ask for your main courses and then decide if you actually want dessert or coffee.
I loved your answer. Very accurate, complete and informative! Thanks for taking some time to help those who are interested in learning about the Italian culture with this information!!! That’s very nice of you!
Okay, I have a question, When you go the street side food places where there is a table outside, do you normally go the counter and say I need a table for myself and I want to order food from there or you just walk and sit and then wait for the person to arrive to give your orders ? This is a bit confusing because with friends we book but what if I want to go alone and then have some food ?
At a restaurant you would go inside and ask for a table first or at a street food place you would get your food and then sit down, at a Bar/Cafe (where it is more coffee and drinks) most Italians stand up inside and order at the bar, either drink it there or take it to a table. If it is a touristy area the bars will charge you more to sit outside and have table service (A coffee might cost 2X as much for example)
@@Strommeninc I really appreciate your reply, but it's like to take salciccia or aperitivo alone in a bar when I want to go by myself and eating alone. Does this apply in this situation too?
4allreasons Study Usually if you want some pizza you just order it WITHOUT appetizer, first course, second course and side course (but I've noticed it's quite common to take pizza+a dessert)...then it depends on how much you are hungry, there's not a fixed rule for these things 😂 (sorry if there are some errors in the sentences, I'm Italian😇)
very nice video. Grazie!but the sound is not good..maybe better in other videos? and I think you should showvthe italian/english sentences a bit longer so its possible to memorize it without pausing allbthe time. only a second longer.. :-):-)
Oops! We had a correction pasted on the video but I think TH-cam removed the annotation :) Our video editor was American and didnt catch the mistake 😩 but at least it sounds the same when you say it.
In Rome and Florence, I think they would rather that you speak English. Faster and easier for them to understand then trying to figure out your broken Italian. In Naples, not so.
Piccolo amichevole appunto. "Facciamo" non l'ho mai sentito in tutta la mia vita. Cosa le porto? Cosa prende? ma "facciamo"? E chi sei, mio cugino!? E "un litro" ma quando mai. Mi porti una minerale gasata piccola. Vorrei una naturale grande. Ma "un litro" proprio no. Comunque il video è grazioso :)
lampadina bruciata Why ordinare a un ristorante is not the correct sentence? Maybe ordinare in un ristorante? (I m sorry I m learning Italian and still don't speak very well)

Thank you very much, I liked the directness of your recommendations and the participation of a waiter gave it greater realism.
Thank you! The best TH-cam video on ordering at a restaurant in Italian. 🙌🏽
So much fun to be part of this video years ago!! Thank you Strommen!!!
Grazie a te!
Molto Grazie Signorina! Seeing your smiling face made my day. Lovely to immerse myself in Italian again, such a pretty language, just made for opera and singing!
Do you have any other videos? Your style of teaching is very natural and easy to understand.
Italian food is the best !!! Love italy and the peolpe .
tsedaye girma
Great video, no messing around. Grazie.
It is an awesome video. And the pronunciation of words is very good! Well done
The best part of being on holiday in Italy is ordering wine with every meal. Except breakfast.

Going to Italy soon. Oh man, this is a little bit intimidating !

Grazie!! Haha 😂 it must have been very beautiful over there LOL that's my goal whenever I get a girlfriend so I could go to an Italian place here where I live or even actually Italy and order in Italian that's a goal of mine hahha
It only teaches you how to order A LITER of wine!! well I guess I have no choice :)
LOL so I'm not the only one who thinks so
Oh, no! You poor thing! :'(
You could ask for a bicchiere of vino bianco which is a glass of white wine
or "un quartino di rosso" (a quarter of red wine)
yes, blame the others for your alcohol issues hahahaha just joking
Crikey, that's a lot of courses, a lot of food!!
Acqua not aqua :D
Saludos desde México!
BUON ANNO NUOVO A TE! Saluti dalla piccolo Lituania!
Wow!! Love it 😍.
merci!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! tres utile
Grande video. Grazie.
Joking chilll
Grazie mille
Grazie millie!!! :-) )
House red wine? Does it have a good beat?
Do you typically order all the courses at the beginning of the meal or as you go along?
You can do both
ok but the digestive you ordered a grappa what is that? lol We dont have that option in the states.
It's a type of Italian brandy that's made by fermenting the leftover bits of grapes after all the juice is pressed out of them
And it's strong as hell. :)
Fire water! Lol..Made from dredges of grapes.
I would ask the Manager,if there are any English Speaking Staff,to take my order.
Scusa ma in che ristoranti vai?
I like it - it would be great if parts of it were slower... or repeated slower.

AQUA?? Sul serio?
Simone Franceschin L'acqua, certamente?
What if I want to order some pizza？Is it the primo or secondo？Grazie！

Pizza is considered a "piatto unico", it's a substitute for first AND second course.
Come si dici "We would like 2 glasses of red wine" in italian?
Vorrei due bicchieri di vino rosso, per favore (please)
Grazie Mille!!! Although, that reads to me. I would like 2 glasses of red wine, please. Wouldn't "we would like" be "Vorremmo"?
perfetto! You're a natural! :)
@@solaccursio You actually ask for a "calice di vino" not "bicchiere"
@@Mark-hc8ek you're right. I don't like wine so I'm not an expert in asking for it :D
How do I say 'No, thanks. That is all.'?
No grazie, basta cosi
nice video, but would of been helpful if words were repeated back slowly so could practice
two main courses? Wow
LOL "aqua"
oops!
You are doing excellent job but when your explain have take tome to need some one understand please explain slowly step by step thanks
Buonissimo

Thanks for the suggestion!
Been in Milan for a week and no one orders like this. Lol
That will make a huge bill. I heard that eating out in Italy is really expensive especially when you sit down.
Creativity Unleashed
Yes, but only at the bar, not at restaurants.
Imagine teaching italian 'like a pro' and spelling l'acqua wrong four times
Ahahah!

hi chris

Good video, it's too hard for me. So I'll just hope they speak English
Igor Kim do they speak English because I’m going there in a couple days

weela ,, che cosa ....Carpaccio? ? no capito ...
Very close to Spanish, French.

Good information but she proceeds too fast. Hard to follow always have to rewind..
The Italian accent is rather more pleasant than the English one.
"ordinare a un ristorante"?? "aqua" ?? magari dovresti rivedere il tuo italiano prima di pubblicare video :/
lampadina bruciata Why ordinare a un ristorante is not the correct sentence? Maybe ordinare in un ristorante? (I m sorry I m learning Italian and still don't speak very well)
Credo sia più giusto " ordinare ad un ristorante " dato che hai le vocali a ed u .
Ma non ne sono del tutto sicuro .
aCqua*
ci scusi!
Fiorentina with french fries?!?!
AAAAAAAARGHHHHH!!!!!
Maybe you also want some ketchup on your fiorentina?????
Please, writing AQUA like this is wrong! It is ACQUA!
If you say you want a caffe, it's espresso. No drip crap.
You just scream out for your check like that??
WTF??? AQUA????SERIOUSLY!!!!???? GO TO SCHOOOL
okay m horney now ... love Italiano X)
Ma, tu 6 un grandissimo scemo
I have reached a new low
um you can hear your american accent when you speak italian
NEVER do that guys, say it in english, your pronunciation will be so bad no one will understand
West Coast the only way to learn Italian is by practicing it.
Damn, that girl has quite an appetite. I doubt she gets many second dates.
