Very useful video, thank you. When we visited Italy in March I'd been taking daily lessons for two months, but still struggled when I needed to say that we had booked a table. We ended up being seated away from the other diners and to make things worse I received an email from the booking app to say that we had failed to honour our booking. When we return next month I'll be better prepared.
Just been to Italy and managed to to order food and drink so was very happy. I did come unstuck when I tried to order a "Primi" and ask if it would be possible to share it with my wife..got there in the end but it was a struggle! Thanks again
Were you able to share then? I'm going to Italy soon and I already know I won't be able to eat pasta and pizza and meat after that. I'd like to try many things though so since I'm going with a friend I'd like to be able to share
This was very helpful! Visiting Italy for the first time in October - spending quite a bit of time in very rural areas where my ancestors come from. Took the language in college but that was over 10 years ago so this video was a huge help! I am nervous to speak Italian to locals but then I remember that I have had previous interactions with Italians when family have visited in USA and they are always extremely helpful and patient when you speak Italian with them. They really appreciate the effort!

hello!can i ask something about the confirmation of the reservation in a restaurant?? when the stuff call me in order to confirm my reservation, how can i answer? saying '' hello'' ? another way/word?
Boy, they don't spare the intense labor-time over in Italy! Land of Tartarian builders, master glass artists, food creators. You transported me over there for a moment. Txs!!! ❤️🇮🇹❤️🌏
Trying to learn as a tourist . I’m Scared I might offend them since i say some word like Spanish, since I speak Spanish it sounds familiar. Thank you this helps !!
As Italian I can say for those who speak Spanish it often happens that in Italy people use Spanish words thinking that they are also “Italian” words. For example many say “Gracias” instead of “Grazie”. :)

bird553, I’ve seen people have full conversations, one speaking Italian and the other speaking Spanish, and no one was bothered by it. As long as you’re polite it will be fine. It’s like a reunion of estranged cousins when two Romance languages navigate a conversation :)
My pleasure! How exciting 😀 If you’re nervous, why not join my Italian for travel course? There is a whole module on ordering food 😉 Plus you get lifetime access to the video lessons, materials, and the Facebook group for support. Here is a link to join bit.ly/IntrepidItalianCourse
As an Italian I can say that a "Primo" and a "Secondo" can be ordered together. The waiter then brings "the Primo". Once the first dish is finished, he brings "the Secondo". For example, when someone enters a restaurant and sits at a table, he can say, after having a look at the menu…….Per Primo (first course)prendo Spaghetti alla Carbonara e per Secondo (second course) prendo una bistecca (a steak).
A good summary. Can I not order a first course, say pasta, skip the second course and then order dessert? I'm still trying to understand the protocol. I will persevere...
Haha, just got back after traveling across Italy for 3 weeks, here is where I went using the AMAZING Italian public transportation system”…all over Rome, Ostia Antica, Orvieto, Florence, San Gimingiano (Tuscany), Assisi, Florence, Bologna, Ravenna, Rimini, Modena, Padua, Mantua, Milan and Turin. Here are my observations. Most young Italians are pretty fluent in English (in fact, I think they are a little insulted if you assume they don’t). Most Older Italians no at least some English. If you know a few Italian words and use hand signals it can help. The easy part is saying a few Italian words. The HARD PART is understanding Italian when it’s fired at you like a major league fast ball. It takes watching many many many videos (and lots of study and practicing) to do that. As soon as you start using your “Italian” with your horrible American accent they usually switch to English 😂😂😂
I drink it all the time (even in the evening) People here think i'm weird (traditionally is only for breakfast) but who cares! Cappuccino is always awesome!! 😄
@@HeWoNe Allora: alla Sua salute! (This is a matter of traditions clash, I think: for us the concept "Drink a cappuccino after 12 am" do not exists. Sorry for my english)
Ma perché vi siete messi in mente tutti la regola del cappuccino solo alla mattina? Non è vera! Ordinatelo pure anche al pomeriggio, è normalissimo berlo all'ora di merenda se non si vuole il tè o il caffè, l'importante è non berlo dopo e soprattutto durante i pasti!
I have tried to learn Italian,and also German,Spanish and French.I am useless at each Language(2 out of 10).I am trying to learn Italian again now.(2 out of 10 again).If I went into a Coffee Shop in Italy,I would sit down at a table,I would then look at the menu.I would choose a coffee from the menu,and then catch the eye of the waiter.I would point to him on the menu,in what coffee I would want.The waiter would bring the coffee.I would then settle the bill for the coffee. It is easy as that.
Didn’t know that prego had more meanings than you’re welcome. Italians don’t say per favore. Mi piace/non mi piace can come off too strong or rude to Italians. Italians do not say scusi/scusa when getting someone’s attention. Mi scusi means sorry/excuse me when bumping into someone informal and scusami and scusatemi are formal, mi displace means I’m sorry when being late or if the person at the till doesn’t have want you were wanting, there’s several ways to say thank you and I like/I don’t like without coming off strong or rude.

When you are at a restuarant do you order all of your courses at one time or do you order them as you go?
Usually all at the same time

I don't drink tea but my wife does. Is it acceptable just to ask for un tè con latte if she wants tea with milk?
Haha, just got back after traveling across Italy for 3 weeks, here is where I went using the AMAZING Italian public transportation system”…all over Rome, Ostia Antica, Orvieto, Florence, San Gimingiano (Tuscany), Assisi, Florence, Bologna, Ravenna, Rimini, Modena, Padua, Mantua, Milan and Turin.

if you order a dolce they will give you a piece of cake or something similar. if you want fresh fruit you have to order la frutta.
Wow! Very useful! Pls, can you also do a video how to get a meal in Ikea? Thank you very much!
lol, is that a joke? At ikea, u grab a tray, fill it up, then pay at the cashier with your cc. Sit down and enjoy.
GRAZIE MILLE
congratulations is very good the Lesson but i rather if you speak more italian than inglish please best regards
awesome
idk why im watching this video im italian

I drink my cappuccinos in the afternoon, what am I supposed to do?
I drink it all the time (even in the evening)
People here think i'm weird (traditionally is only for breakfast)
but who cares! Cappuccino is always awesome!! 😄
I'm American and that's what I usually do when I'm at a restaurant and I want something sweet afterwards
If you drink a cappuccino after 12 am you can be caught by police. It'a a joke! We are honored to have with us in Italy (sorry for my english!)

So when in doubt, say Prego.
Hi, What did say?
better with caption
I heard “Allora” a lot when visiting Italy.
hai un canale in italiano? Capisco molto italiano. Preferisco sentirti parlare italiano più che inglese, per favore
E l'apericena?
Prima un aperitivo,e poi un bel piattone di rigatoni alla amatriciana....😂😂❤
music transitions are extremely loud in beginning it makes my parents wake up in morning practice
5 type of cornetto maybe in the north part of Italy. Here in South we have many more variation 😉
I have tried to learn Italian,and also German,Spanish and French.I am useless
at each Language(2 out of 10).I am trying to learn Italian again now.(2 out of
10 again).If I went into a Coffee Shop in Italy,I would sit down at a table,I would
then look at the menu.I would choose a coffee from the menu,and then catch
the eye of the waiter.I would point to him on the menu,in what coffee I would
want.The waiter would bring the coffee.I would then settle the bill for the coffee.
It is easy as that.
Dream country I wish I was live there🌿❤️🙏🏡🥘 Mamma Mia
❤
Italians usually order a ''cappuccino'' with a ''cornetto''. But then again, anything is possible.
If you come to Milano, or to Northern Italy , we don't say "cornetto", we say "brioche ".
I just point, whatev it’s called, I will eat it
That one piece of rogue hair. I want to move it so badly.
😃
Well, the capuccino it's a coffee with milk and a little bit of chocolate! And the caffee shackerato, it's a shaked iced coffee, not just an iced one!
R you Australian?
Yes. With Italian heritage 😊
@@theintrepidguide Yes but love that Aussie accent!! Keep up the great work.
99% percent of real italians will only order un caffè al bar..the rest is for tourists. 😉
Penso che "Belpaese" sia una definizione ironica, e lo dico da italiano...
