Great advise man! Once a time was usually the workers' first choice, also for big family or when you don't wanna cook at home being back late night, making takw away. Just one tip to get right experience: pls, try to find the "real Italian" rosticceria/gastronomia/tavola calda that you can, runned by Italians: for many reason. Then avoid touristic places, too cheap or not good looking/greasy food. Last, also great choices in many Alimentari/Osterie/Bistro-Vineria/Pizza al taglio with great selection of dishes, fair priced, table and drink to enjoy; or take away. Many covered markets having lot of food stands/carts with instant cooking and tables. Ciao 🙂
Ciao! I really appreciate you sharing these additional insights. Spot on and you picked up a few things I left out. There certainly are tourist trap tavole calde. Getting off the main strip may help. And I keep an eye out for who is eating there. Authentic places are in a different league and often have home cooking and run by families. Alimentari are another cultural gem for sure. Grazie mille!
I'll be traveling to Italy in 2 weeks! I've been watching many of your helpful videos. We're only staying in Airbnbs specifically to save money on eating and laundry. Thank you for this video in particular; I can't wait to try ordering "questo, quello, and una porzione per favore"
Wonderful! Staying in an Airbnb is so much fun! Enjoy going to the markets and making great food as well as trying delicious prepared foods😊 Yes knowing a few words can be so rewarding. I’m happy to hear the content is helpful. Wish you a great trip!
Sei bravo. Usi la pronuncia italiana corretta, conosci i termini, gli usi, e insegni cose pratiche senza girarci intorno. Video lunghi il necessario. 👍
While many people love the local food, I understand that it can get tiresome for some. During long stretches abroad, I appreciated having a kitchen. I even cooked a traditional American Thanksgiving while I was in Italy. Not always practical for short term travels though. But if it works with your plans this might be helpful.
