Why Can't You Order A Cappuccino Past Noon? 

Good and I don't even drink coffee lol

No, you’ll remember that you’re in Italy so you follow their traditions and not try to bring your own country traditions to theirs.

@@nocrappingthere dude chill. no one said anything about imposing their country's traditions onto someone else. In fact they said the opposite : In my country there aren't rules so when I go to Italy I will remember that they do have rules.

@@nocrappingthere wtf, We pay fude , We do what we want, Idiot.

@@itsdonuttime7729 Hm yea that’s true, I was probably making rash assumptions about his comment. Back then I read it like he was trying to discount Italy’s traditions instead of looking at it the way you did. My apologies

@@nocrappingthere screw that, traditions is what makes things difficult in many ppl's lives. It's NOT your concern with what I eat...wth

I lived in central Italy for 6 months and only once was my order for a Cappuccino refused. Turns out that the barista was still new and did not want to mess up the milk/foam. Better to have a different drink than a bad coffee!

I read that it depends on that what part of Italy you live in. If you live in North of Italy then it should be ok but in the South of Italy or Sicily they will look at you like you were a lunatic. I don't know if its true, I just read that xd

Surely you pay for it si they will serve it to you

Hai detto una str....ata assurda

Nonody says no but everybody thinks "here you go another one who doesn't even know what Italian food is"

@@monicarollo2462 e tu sei molto maleducata. Cos'è meglio?

“Basically judgemental” is the understatement of the year. If you’re in Italy, fine, but the Italians gatekeeping elsewhere annoys me. How about just letting people eat what they like?

Damn, I’m glad Italy doesn’t run the world like they wanted to. Could you imagine? 😂

That's right. Got this recommended right after that italian husband tiktok

@@JALopez-bh6yg omg same, that's no coincidence, thank you very much for sharing.

@@JALopez-bh6yg same here lol, she got blessed by yt algorithm

I understand that, i myself don't stick to this rule, living in Italy i sometimes do have to take breakfast at circa 6am because of work and sometimes at 11am instead.

The key is not to care about looking like an uncultured cretin. Why do you care what a total stranger thinks of you? Answer: you don't. The Italians have all kinds of rules for things, but they aren't _your_ rules.

Me😂

Well that's not something you can find everywhere (also because maybe you call it with an Italian name but it's not an Italian thing), but maybe there are some bar that can do sort of an iced coffee/freddo espresso (?). Anyways most of the times you'll find warm, short and strong coffee. Coffee needs to wake you up so you need something strong (there are some that prefer to drink it even without sugar so it's really bittery but wakes them up a lot I guess). The most usual I think are espresso, "short", "long" (with a bit more water so it's not so strong as short one), "double" which is even stronger, macchiato, cappuccino etc. Then there might be some typical coffee depending on the place you go, for example in my city (Padua) there is a coffee with mint, or in the south of Puglia there is an iced coffee with almonds milk. Maybe I talked too much, but I hope I've been helpful :)

@@fraz813 I love talking to much don't worry about doing it too. In Greece freddo/iced espresso is always double dose , very rare Quattro if you asked for it , sugar but that depends on preference I for example want half of a teaspoon , and ice . As I saw in the video Italians drink their coffee really quick , in hurry , cause as you said its purpose is to wake you up so I understand that how the coffee is in each country depends on the culture . I assume that's why Greeks came with the freddo version and prefer it, because for us having coffee is probably the most used thing we choose to do when getting out . We just go to a caffe with friends , order a freddo espresso and stay for at least 2 hours , talking playing cards etc. For waking up our parents and grandparents still choose the Turkish coffee but young people don't even do it when they are in hurry , we are so used to freddo espresso, I swear we are addicted we prefer it even in the coldest days, we get one in plastic even when we go for a walk etc. It is strong , but because we are slowly drinkers , plus the ice melts so it gets slowly more watery, it doesn't truly serve the purpose of waking you up quick . I really wonder are Italians ever sitting down for more time to drink the coffee with friends etc and if yes what coffee do you prefer for this occasion.

@@user-rc2gy5ik5n well except when we drink it for breakfast or after the other lunches (or when you have to use the toilets of a bar but you have to consume something to do it😅), we use to have it maybe when we want to go out with a friend. So we sit in a bar, drink a coffee and stay there to talk, maybe half an hour. A normal coffee takes just 2-3 sips to be finished, so it's something that ends fast and you can't stay there hours, or also bring it with you and drink it while you're walking like an iced coffee. Anyways we don't have a particular coffee in these occasions, usually an espresso or a macchiato, depends on the fact that someone may like it with or without milk (personally I'm the second one type of person, I prefer a pure coffee where I can taste it properly). PS. About sitting and drinking coffee: I personally use to do that if I'm with a person I don't see since long time, if I'm with more friends we're more probably going to have the so called "aperitivo", maybe with a Spritz (or in the afternoon before dinner, or in the evening after dinner). It's a type of cocktail (not so strong because also with a bit of water) and we stay there 1 hours or more enjoying it and talking

@@user-rc2gy5ik5n Anyways I'm not a big fan of iced coffee and I drank it just a few times when I went to England, but now you really made me want one of it😂 Anyways now I remember that in some places near the sea you can find the so called "Crema Caffe" (means like coffee cream) that is something between a coffee and an ice cream. Similar to a coffee but refreshing at the same time

the moment an Italian is diagnosed as lactose intolerant/allergic, they are immediately sent to Sardegna on a 6 month casu martzu-only diet or until they are fixed.

You do realize that now the market is full of lactose free or vegetarians based dairy products right? This video was mostly bullshit really. I am Italian and i frequently order cappuccino mid noon if it's winter time. Many people do. Sure, most people have it as a breakfast, but there is no "rule" about it (yes even with meals altho it is true we'd think you're kinda weird to drink cappuccino along with a meal). But until you will pay for it, nobody will refuse to serve you one.

​@@davidepannone6021 I am Italian too. I was never refused a cappuccino after noon, but I sure got some disapproving looks from the bartenders. I don't know which region you are from, but I guess that the upholding of traditions changes from place to place. In Piedmont it's quite rare to be refused a cappuccino, but friends from Naples told me that's a big no in the south. Still, I'm certain that you can get a cappuccino after noon in Naples: not all bartenders are the same and not everybody cares about it. I wouldn't call this video bullshit at all, it just doesn't encompass the various differences between each region of Italy.

@@alveuim Per quello che ho detto MOSTLY bullshit. Non ho detto che era completamente una cazzata. Ma sta di fatto che ovunque tu vada, SE PAGHI, nessuno rifiuta di servirti. E ho anche aggiunto che noi (italiani) percepiremmo come strano quello di volere un cappuccino con il pranzo o appena dopo, ma che appunto, nessuno si rifiuterebbe di servirlo. A meno che tu non capiti nel villaggio con 30 abitanti che a malapena parlano l'italiano allora li' potrebbe anche essere che non ti servano il cappuccio ad ogni ora e momento, ma sono eccezioni piu' che regole come questo video vuole insinuare.

@@davidepannone6021 Sicuramente la regola non è così stringente come viene presentata in questo video, però non mi sentirei di dire che se paghi il cappuccino te lo danno ovunque. Alla fine è un video diretto ai turisti che vengono in Italia, esagerare un po' è lo standard per questo genere di cosa

In Italy it's very rare to find a barista that know what is a flat white, you have to go in some "specialty coffee" bar or something like that. In a normal bar you can order a caffe, doppio, ristretto, macchiato, caffè latte, Cappuccino and a Marocchino. Stop. If you want a flat white just ask fo a cappuccino with less foam than a normal one.

It's fat he's talking about

In italy any bar will make you a cappuccino in any moment of the day. We tend to romanticize al lot about our culture.

In fact as an Italian I don't think that's why we shouldn't drink it past noon. I just think that it's a sweet kind of coffee that we've always related to the breakfast and the morning, so seeing someone drinking it after a lunch, maybe after eating pasta or meat, doesn't really make sense for us. As they said in the video, at least we think "take a little one" (macchiato). Anyways if you really can't live without having it out of breakfast, there are bars that sell cappuccino without problems. My girlfriend loves so much it that even when my friends and I are drinking a cocktail or something like that, she sometimes drinks cappuccino even in like 5-6pm

One more thing that shows your ignorance.

That’s not stupid and that’s why here in Italy we have an average life age higher than anyone else in Europe and in the world. Remember this

@@davidedaloiso5976 Switzerland got the highest life expectancy in Europe bro. And Japan in the world. The reason i say it’s stupid is because some of you guys judge other people too much if they want to drink it leave them alone.

I am not Italian but I think this concept makes perfect sense. They are just saying don't drink your calories, fats, nutrients, etc and instead get it from solid food that will keep you full because lunch is one of the main meals.

@@itsdonuttime7729 well that make sense, but it doesn’t mean that they can judge. Because every meal is different, what if they only had salad for lunch? Can’t have Cappuccino too ? There’s a lot of factor that they just ignored. All i see it is it’s just preference, who ever wants to drink it leave them alone and stop criticizing.

I think it's ridiculous also. It's my body and I'm paying for it. I've watched many ppl die last year and a couple this yr so I've lost my patience for ppl and their traditions. I've seen traditions make so many ppl unhappy

Im pretty sure its the other way around. Its just cultural tradition bullshit. People are on different circadian rhythms, some peoples "mornings" start after noon, if you are worried about excessive calories with your lunch, then eat less. Drink coffee when you want as long as its not too close to bedtime.

Eat what you want. When you want. Rules are made to be broken. No wonder why Italy succumbed to fascism.

Seems foolish to abide by nonsensical rules.

I love y'alls food, but I'll drink coffee when I want. 😂

I think you're confusing trade/learning with exploitation.

Your people were to weak and ignorant to protect it or fight to keep it that’s how it was back then deal with it

okay (?), but we're talking about culture and you should at least respect it if you go to that country. You can do whatever you want, but they can do the same and not sell you that. It's a stupid example but the only one I thought is this: it's like asking a thanksgiving meal to a restaurant while there is no thanksgiving, you may have the right to want it whenever you want, just don't pretend they will give you that. Anyways if you can't survive without having it, there are tons of bars in Italy that sell them in every hour without problems
