Same in Greece. If you want a quick snack, people stand at the shop in the designated area and eat. They do not walk around eating.

[@elissa.dellaera]

I prefer eating while sitting down, I need to concentrate on how beautiful my food is and appreciate every bite hahaha

[@RomeInside]

Haha I could say the same but I'm probably just too slow to be able to do both all at once haha

[@annewright7291]

It is nice that somewhere is still eats sensibly, in a civilised manner!

[@stoffepojken]

Great channel! I go to Rome on vacation every summer so this is very helpful.

[@madamedellaporte4214]

In London it is awful! People walk around sipping and eating. Even on a crowded tube or bus! Many times I am afraid some coffee will spill over me. I can't wait to get out.

[@gerarda_sy]

Hahaha I find so amusing and interesting that u posted this video on my birthday... I know that there's some time passed but just today discovered that it was on my bday😊😘😘Ly baci

[@michaelsylvester7272]

I so love Italian way better. We Americans are rushing around which not healthy . Thanks for sharing.

Hi Elisa! I was in Rome the first week of December and I was pleasantly surprised to find a pasta fast food place. Like you said very small and just 3 tables, but the food was really good. We sat down to eat and the next time we visited we actually took it to go and ate it at our airbnb. I love Rome so much that I definitelytely felt like a local while eating there. Love your channel!

[@lesliekinn9276]

Generally speaking, Americans do not respect meal times. We used to depend on that wonderful gathering time with family to eat and discuss the day. My children are married and I notice they have dropped the togetherness of the evening meal. I miss that. So, I do not find the Italian custom of sitting down to eat, unusual. I love the idea!

[@RomeInside]

I feel like our lives are getting faster and faster and we don't even stop for meals anymore...

[@mimibatman2787]

I live on the east coast of the US, and we often eat and and walk or even eat and drive. I try to eat more like an Italian (sitting), not only because it's more pleasant and helps me to enjoy my food more, but also because it's healthier. It's become easier since I'm no longer commuting 10 hours a week and working 50+ hours on top of that. I think that a lot of Americans are so crunched for time that eating time and sleeping time suffer.

[@RomeInside]

Eating and driving?? I only did it once because I was seriously starving and it wasn't easy at all! Probably a soft skill to add to your resumee haha I understand the reasons behind, thanks a lot for the explanation, I'm glad you stopped working so much! Eating and sleeping should be our priorities :D

[@russko118]

@@RomeInside remember, in USA they don't have to shift while driving

[@SabraQueenoftheUnderworld1346]

I think just every where in the US it's a normal thing to do, eating and doing something.... always rushing around, coffee is consumed around the clock in most places....I'm the northeastern part of the states and I'm guilty of drinking coffee around the clock and eating on the go....thank you!!!!

[@Fleuur]

Haha it's always better to sit when you want to eat something. 😊 it was a nice video !

[@RomeInside]

Agreed! :D

[@dadegroot]

In Australia at least, things are in a bit of flux. Traditionally, meals are eaten at a table, but with the continued Americanisation of the culture, there is more walking around eating on the go. The exceptions are things like picnics, where you will sit on a blanket in the park, or a barbeque which might have a table component, but often people just sit around in chairs without a table, or stand around.

[@teresalove9413]

I am Italian but born in the USA we will walk around and eat any kind of food in America, I don’t agree with it I was raised with Italian culture thank you for your video

[@jamesavickers5961]

Very informative grazie ciao

[@joanlynch5271]

We don't say bar for a restaurant where you buy food. If you go there for breakfast only, we call that a Cafe. In the U.S. we only say Bar for a place that sells Alcohol.

[@SB-kd8le]

😂 What does Starbucks call the person's that prepare the coffees for you............BARISTA!!! Translates from Italian as Bar keeper. All this time you've been going to the Bar in the morning lol

[@joanlynch5271]

S B very funny!! I never realized that, maybe you are right, but I'm sure in English we don't have breakfast at a bar, because that word is reserved for alcohol.

[@joanlynch5271]

BTW I don't speak Italian, only Spanish, English, French, German and sign language. I am only just learning about Italy for an upcoming trip. Lol!!

[@mycolleeny]

Joan Lynch well she’s doing a video for tourist in ITALY, not the USA.

[@russko118]

in italy the places to buy alcool are... supermarkets

[@richardrobinson4869]

What about hiking, fishing, farmers out away from home?

[@concettamingoia9125]

i gelati! quelli sì sono mangiati camminando, li hai scordati...

[@RomeInside]

Nè io nè i miei amici lo mangiamo mai camminando, per questo non li ho menzionati! Ci sediamo sempre su qualche panchina o al massimo stiamo in piedi fuori la gelateria 🙂

[@Mzoomtwo]

class has gone out the windows 🪟 in America

[@SimoneFedeleSF]

Premetto che ho vissuto un paio di anni a Roma ed effettivamente lì non si mangia camminando, ma nelle città del sud dove, soprattutto nelle belle stagioni, la sera si esce in centro per passeggiare è molto comune prendere un pezzo di rosticceria e camminare, per fare le così dette vasche. Ovvio è sempre un concetto più rilassato, come mangiare un gelato, certo non è "food on the go" nel senso di risparmio di tempo per andare/fare qualcosa.

[@RomeInside]

Grazie del feedback Simone!

[@lydiaauffinger352]

I'm going on holidays to Rome this summer and Id like to know if italians do understand perfectly or almost well spanish speakers, I guess not a all but as I can understand almost everything of italian people speaking without actually knowing the language...

[@RomeInside]

Spanish and Italian are not extremely different so you shouldn't have many problems. Maybe I would check out specific words like "conto" (the check/bill) or something like that, since they may vary substantially :) Most italians I know don't actually know spanish but it's not that hard for them to understand it, especially if the person is speaking slowly.

[@barrankobama4840]

Check for false-friends, there are a few, even quite embarrassing ones.

[@alexsmiiles]

Do you have any tips for visitors who are trying to tour attractions in Rome during the day and might not have time to go back to the hotel or a restaurant for a sit-down meal at lunch time? I’m trying to plan what to do for lunches because we might be seeing attractions in the middle of the day during meal times but it’s hard to sacrifice sightseeing time especially during a museum tour or something! I do want to enjoy most meals but I know there may be a time here and there that we may not have time.

[@russko118]

you can go in fast food like pizza al taglio (or al trancio) or to tourist restaurant, but this tourist place normally have less quality and are overprized. try the italian way, in the summer, at 13:30 go in a restaurant, eat inside and go outside at 15:00, keep visiting, at 20:00 have dinner in another restaurant (or a pizzeria), at 21/22 you are out and keep visiting until midnight

[@simongregory3114]

I have just discovered your videos this morning and am enjoying them. I wonder is it considered acceptable to get the food and take it to a park, or some public seating on the streets to consume?

[@RomeInside]

Simon Gregory Glad to hear that! Yes, you can totally do that :) I wouldn't say you'll see lots of people doing that but it also really depends on the park you're going. I used to have lunch in the park nearby my university and you could see several people eating their lunch there

[@simongregory3114]

Rome Inside thank you! I will be in Italy, including Rome of course, in a few months. My favourite country :)

[@kimlovett6993]

What about Gelato? Aren’t there gelato stands where you’d get it on the go?

[@RomeInside]

It's very rare too! We usually stand outside the gelateria or look for a nearby bench to sit while enjoying our ice cream in calm and slowness (especially me haha)

[@itsanupdas]

U r so pretty and beautiful 💕💓❣️💟💖❤️💞💗💝😍

[@mikeyv498]

This is funny.All we do in Australia is walk around and eat, at home or outside,even though my family is Italian!

[@RomeInside]

I don't think I would be able to do such haha

[@joanlynch5271]

Mikey V maybe it is an English thing, we eat at fairs, or food trucks, or picknics, normally not out side too much. The weather isn't too great here for that!!

[@TakluCal]

Do you have gelato walking around?

[@29outlaw]

I travel alone. It's very odd in the US for people to sit at a table and eat alone.

[@RomeInside]

You can do that here! I've seen many people eating alone, it's not something unusual to do :D

[@lesliekinn9276]

I travel alone also. But, I love people; observing and conversing. I often sit alone to eat. You just never know who you might meet.

[@schiarazula]

Is it OK to eat a sandwich on a bench in a public park?

[@BICIeCOMPUTERconGabriele]

Yes. It's also ok eating while walking... or in the public transportations. I mean: no law prohibites that... we Italians just don't do it because we don't like it, we consider eating a pleasure, and not a necessity to accomplish with the less effort possible (like putting fuel in a car at the gas station). But it's not forbidden.

[@schiarazula]

@@BICIeCOMPUTERconGabriele Thank you.

[@roseleta1]

Do Italians eat gelato while standing/sitting to?

[@narangah8707]

Yes.

[@russko118]

you can eat it on the way, but it isn't so common

[@paullim1933]

U have pretty skin and shoulders and hair too! :)

[@vinny57ish]

Buona sera Bella. I wanted to share this little note. I recently discovered a great Italian musician in Italy there... actually there are I know several very good musicians in Italy. But this Gentleman's name is ? Nicola Conte the jazz tune of his that got this guy hooked on his Grande jazz music was a song titled? My kind of Sunshine. The woman who sings that tune on his CD's Lucia Minetti is in my view one very Bellissima Beauty... I so hope to one day come to Italy. By the way Mr. Conte ? Is from i believe? Bari Italy and that is where my Great grandfather on my father's side is from originally. So you can see why I'm partial to him but his music along with Lorenzo Tucci a drummer there also in Italy are two really great jazz lovers and excellent musicians. Anyway please look them up if you like and I look forward to seeing another one of your great video posts here. Ciao and Buona notte. 😘

[@RomeInside]

I'm glad you discovered some non-mainstream italian musicians! I've heard of Nicola Conte but I've never listened to any of his music. Puglia (where Bari is) is a beautiful region!

[@marenumphress3702]

“Food on the go” means getting food at a restaurant or fast food place through the drive-in and then you can drive to wherever you need to and then eat it! #americanforlife🇺🇸

[@RomeInside]

We don't do that either :)

[@kikinnit]

That’s why you never really see any fat Italians walking around - the Americans definitely have cornered that market

[@jamesavickers5961]

No it doesn’t sound strange at all this is one of the meny reasons why people in uk and the states are so obese..stuffing there faces on the move hahaha grazie ciao
