Italy is world-famous for its cuisine — from pizza and pasta to gelato and espresso.
In this lesson, you'll learn essential phrases for ordering at Italian restaurants and cafés.
Italians take their food seriously, so knowing how to order properly will enhance your experience!
In Italy, a meal has multiple courses: antipasto (starter), primo (pasta/rice), secondo (meat/fish), contorno (side), and dolce (dessert). Cappuccino is only drunk in the morning — never after a meal! Ask for an espresso (un caffè) instead.
