Visit Italy - The DON'Ts of Visiting Italy

We travel with a Microsoft Surface everywhere we go. I edit my videos on it & use it to backup my pictures and vides while we travel. It’s light and the best travel laptop on the market in my opinion.
amzn.to/2L55pDR
We use Sony Alpha series cameras to film our videos. They are compact so you don’t look like a super tourist when you take great pictures and videos while you travel.
amzn.to/2WbTNFH
We use Manfrotto Tripods. They are compact, travel well, and honestly I would not use another tripod for my nice cameras.
amzn.to/35AWqUs
Travel Plug that works in pretty much any country & has four USB ports. A must for any traveler.

Want to grab some great gear? We have used Osprey Packs for years & swear by them. Check them out here
Need some clothing for your next adventure? Patagonia has some pretty good stuff for all kinds of travelers.

This is not a Starbucks only thing, this is an American thing. Any coffee house you go to in America, a latte is by default going to be espresso with milk. In Italy, if you want what Americans think of as a latte, aren't you supposed to order a latte macchiato? I forget.

[@attilaambrus4521]

"In Italy, latte means milk. What in English-speaking countries is now called a latte is shorthand for "caffelatte" or "caffellatte" ("caffè e latte"). The Italian form means "coffee and milk", similar to the French café au lait, the Spanish café con leche and the Portuguese café com leite. Other drinks commonly found in shops serving caffè lattes are cappuccinos and espressos". From Wikia.

Pizza fritta a' n'euro!"

4) **Italian aren't best at foreign languages** No, Italians often aren't best at italian xD 7) You don't eat pizza with your fingers? It's not really the case. It's a personal choice, but many here in Italy eat it with our hands. It's true many people aren't going to share, but it really depends on how well you know each other, it's not uncommon to have two pizzas and get half of each. 10) Often here a breakfast is "cornetto and cappuccino", or a coffee, many people never have breakfast at all. The rest is pretty accurate

"Italian food" known in America that does NOT exist in real Italian restaurants in Italy: Caesar Salad, Alfredo sauce, Pepperoni, meatballs and spaghetti.. I am sure there are more. And, also, Italian cuisine is highly regional, so tomato sauce and mozzarella and spaghetti that you find in the South like Naples, basically is not served in Tuscany and Emilia Romagna (it's mostly butter sauces there and local cheeses and various tortelli and tortellini pastas).

I noticed that lot of people who eats pizza with hands is unable to eat it with kinfe and fork, so... probably I'm not too wrong.

Sì, sono in Toscana... ma in tanti amici campani me l'hanno sottolineato: deve essere un'usanza prettamente partenopea, visto che poi alcune conoscenze siciliane e calabresi mi dicono che è meglio usare le posate. Non so che dirti, mi fa specie, onestamente, perchè anche i "maccheroni" (spaghetti) si mangiavano con le mani, e tanti quadri di non molti anni fa mostrano quest'usanza da street-food ante litteram. Il fatto che la pizza si continui a mangiare con le mani è fuori dal mio modo di vedere, idem per la cerchia di persone "nordiche" che conosco, quindi mi sentirei di dire che al nord è meglio usare le posate, e al sud no, per onorare antiche tradizioni che, evidentemente, sono rimaste :)

I won't go as far as calling myself a pinguinist, and i never miss a chance to make fun of hard core pinguinists, but i fully agree with the words attributed to King Rama IV and repeated by the current Dalai Lama: " when science proves religion is wrong, religion must change. " Second one has to do with a funny, borderline crazy friulian half-secret tradition... You see, Gubana, Frico, Tiramisù,... Are supposed to be like fingerprints or retinal print. Every self-respecting friulian changes some tiny detail and claims he's following the primal recipe. Ironically the keeper of the primal recipes and patents of Friul is a japanese professor, Shinji Yamamoto. If you want to make gubana like real friulians should, you should ask him. But if you invite me to judge your attempt, i don't want primal Gubana. I want YOUR gubana. I'm there to devour your mind and soul, and nothing less. Then, about protecting and disclosing traditions... Mine is a mere opinion: Look at Sanpei and his brother in law, then look at Fantozzi and Filini. If i go fish and i see the 2 couples of friends... well... If you look cool and have good results, i'll come by myself and ask you how deep i should set my bait, how much lead i should put on the line and so on... If you looks desperate and don't show results, and come to me with unsolicited tips, i'll exquisitely ask you to worry about the problem of starving polar bears. As simple as that.

Lived in Florence for a year... learning a few Italian words goes a long way... Those oldies at the central market playfully won't sell their fruits or veggie to me unless I try to name the items in Italian. I've learn so much because of them and felt extremely warmth from the locals.

[@sofiamoschioni9495]

Of course they couldn't sell you anything, knowing English well enough to understand a native Anglo-Saxon person is pretty rare here in Italy, and is exspecially uncommon in old people. They were born in a time in which English and American people were considered the enemy (fascism and ww2), and going to school was VERY rare in the 1920/1930s. It was a pretty smart move to learn some words on your part, that way you'll move and live better in the country.

[@brunocora7880]

You forgot one thing: don't order Pepperoni pizza and be disappointed if they bring you a pizza with peppers on it. Peperoni is the italian word for peppers while the thing americans put on the pepperoni pizza here in Italy is called salamino piccante (little hot salame!). So if you wish for that you should ask for a Pizza con salamino piccante. I just thought to set this straight as you mentioned Pepperoni pizza.

[@ohioguy1946]

I visited Italy with my brother 2 months ago. It was by far my favorite European country. If you want to visit a perfect Italian village I recommend Spoleto. It was a 1.5 hour train ride outside of Rome and makes an amazing day trip. It was not super touristy but there was several major sites like a large fortress, church, and aqueduct. It also had so much charm and local appeal. Thinking about it now makes me want to go back so bad! Rome was also amazing. Lots of tourist but there was so so so much to see. I highly recommend at least 3 days devoted to just Rome.

Viva la libertà di pensiero insomma.

[@mattiasantangelo9421]

ok, please americans listen to me. these guy is mostly right but (that's extremely important): never ask for spaghetti bolognese. it's just not an italian dish. i'm from Bologna we have something similar but it's not spaghetti, it's "tagliatelle" (widely known as "fettuccine", they actually are the same stuff) and this dish is called "tagliatelle al ragù", where ragù is the name of the meat based sauce,ì, an icon here. what's the difference? spaghetti is a kind of pasta made with corn, tagliatelle is made with eggs. last, but not least, every italian city has his traditional food, so don't ask for "tagliatelle al ragù" in naples for example, it will probably sucks. when you come here, just ask for what is traditional here: we will be ever happy to give you informations about (and that's true, we love to share infos).

[@Gobear1]

The most important Don't is "Don't rush." Part of the joy of traveling in Italy is taking things slowly: lingering over lunch, strolling through open-air markets, taking time to people watch over a glass of wine at an outdoor cafe, as the Italians say, enjoying "la dolce far niente." Also, don't order cappuccino after 11 am. In Italy it's strictly a morning beverage.

[@MrRealgar]

Gobear1 Well, we work in Italy, too!. Otherwise we couldn’t be a G7 country and so many other things. However, you may have right, travelling requires you to have a more relaxed and slow time but it’s for you tourists. Don’t expect Italians will do the same, especially during the morning and the afternoon. Generally, people have to do an amount of things: managing the house, taking care of the family, working...you know, the average life each person of the world does. And the “Il dolce far niente” is an Italian expression which is rarely used. Use it with precaution in Italy. All the best.

[@DaniBi]

Wait. Eating pizza with hands is absolutely fine in any places in Italy. It’s actually less weird than using fork and knife.

If you are interested to buy fashion clothes in Italy a good choice could be going to and "Outlet".

I wanna add something: when you enter any shop (but especially food stores such as bars and restaurants) a lot of foreigners say: "ciao!". That's NOT correct, in Italy we have a polite way of speaking to people we don't personally know, so instead of "ciao" you must say "salve", if you don't do that the other people are gonna instantly recognize you as a tourist which isn't always a good thing depending on where you are. So please just remember this little rule and save yourself from some weird looks...

Another tip, DON'T try to send food back to the kitchen if you don't like it, especially in family-owned restaurants. Many will get offended, and some may even kick you out for disrespecting their great-great-grandmother's recipe. And otherwise don't complain about service, etc. In Italy, the owner is always right; not the customer. And on tipping: don't tip, but don't be a cheapskate. If you pay for a €47 meal with a €50 bill, don't ask for change back. Generally just don't make a big deal out of a couple euros in any situation.

[@woltersworld]

Good video Mark, just a few clarifications with your suggestions: 3 - about the tip, yes you will be charged for the coperto (not coperta) but this haven't absolutely nothing to do with who is making the service for you. The waiter is not going to receive the coperto money for him. So tip is really welcome, but of course not needed. 7 - I always eat pizza but i almost never eat it with fork and kinfe, everytime with my hands. Of course not on ceremonies or important occasions in general but i like almost eat pizza with my hands (and all we do that) so just don't worry about it and eat as you want

[@Cangaroombi]

About tips/coperto it's true, but the tips in USA have a very different meaning than in Italy. In USA waiters get paid less (way less) than minimum wage and their real income are tips, so you must give them. In Italy tips are an extra, if you expecially liked the service, sure, tip. But waiters' real income are not tips (or at least they shouldn't be). I don't know anyone in Italy that gives "american tips" (10% of the bill).

this is probably one of the best short-list-advises video on italy.

[@associatosecolare]

I'd better say we use too fork anc knife.. pizza is supposed to be eaten with hands!

[@backslash68]

Well it depends, I surely use the cutlery to cut it in pieces, and then if I am eating with good friends I'd use hands. But in a formal setting, I'd use cutlery all the time.

[@MissMercury4872]

Yes we doooooo!

[@andytafel]

Ciao Wolter, I'm sorry but the 7th point is wrong. All my Italian friends eat pizza with their hands. It's rather unusual to eat it with fork and knife. The only fact around pizza you maybe not expect is that Italians don't drink wine to a pizza, they prefer beer with the pizza. For me it's also the best combination and obviously with a pizza from Napoli.

[@FrenxGames]

Extrema Thule i don't know if you are italian , but it's common use to drink beer with pizza , probably the "pizza" and the beer from your place sucks ;)

[@billabilli8814]

Per essere precisi: Con le mani la pizza si mangia a casa o per strada, ma se si è seduti al ristorante/pizzeria si usano coltello e forchetta

[@Hightower420]

why should beer not fit to pizza? it fits to nearby everything that is not fruity or sweet imo.

[@backslash68]

Well not me, I eat it with the fork, especially when it's still hot, or if I am in a formal setting.

[@Dr.AlessandroDrago]

Actually we eat pizza with hands...

[@paolofabris7447]

As an Italian I watched the whole video with a smile on my face! You got everything right! :) and now...I'm gonna have a spritz! By the way, thank you for mentioning my hometown, Bassano!

Tip 13: If you order pepperoni pizza, you get pizza with peppers on it. Also, you can eat pizza with your hands.

[@matteobistazzoni3009]

Wolters World Hi there, nice video man :). I'm here just to discuss one of your DONT'S, regarding of tips in Italy. It's true that some restaurant have coperto, which cover the things you said and other may have a % service, usually from 10 to 20 percent. But remember, waiter don't get a single cent for those money! Those are simply charges for the owner side. So, if you really enjoyed the service, leave something for the waiter :) From a waiter :D

I'm from Greece and indeed when sharing food in restaurants in Rome we did get weird looks, but it also varies a lot inside Italy. Big northern cities are different from Sicilian towns for example, in many ways, food culture included

[@gerardscott5815]

Great video. I'm living in Italy the past 4 months and this guy is pretty much on point with this.

Basically excellent advice, but I take exception at describing Rome (and probably Florence and Venice, but I don't know them that well) as touristy. You can live your whole life in Rome and never learn it. It's a neverending journey. I lived there for almost 4 months, and never went to the San Clemente church; I only went there much later and was amazed going into the basement, and sub-basement, and sub-sub-basement where I could walk the streets of 1st century Rome. Even supposedly "touristy" places like Piazza di Spagna are very much alive, very much part of the city, and somehow don't feel touristy to me. So whenever I am in Italy, I try to get to Rome and stay there. But small less popular places like Pistoia, Frascati, Castel Gandolfo and the rest are also wonderful.

[@chiaratrovato275]

Kurtlane OMG You just named Pistoia?! That's my city! I thought that no one knew this little town. By the way, your Words are so sweet, Thank you so much!

[@joesef8156]

cappuccino are for breakfast 🤓

[@Lifereportage]

The thing you pay extra at restaurants is called "coperto", while "coperta" means blanket. It's not entirely correct that you never tip at restaurants. We usually round it to the nearest figure. For instance, if the bill is €18 then we tend to leave €20 as a good gesture. A small, symbolic tip of €1 or €2 is expected pretty much everywhere you sit down to eat.

[@robertaluce9806]

Life Reportage exactly what I was going to say. A small, symbolic tip it's actually expected. Not needed, truth. But generally saying Italians do not tip at all is false.

[@AironLaionErt]

Wise shit mate! You just forgot the most important rule though: if you eat ananas on pizza... Just don't. Stay at home please.

[@NeoZeta]

Indeed. Ananas on the pizza is just-- wrong.

[@akronymus]

Ananas on pizza was a marketing gag (Pizza Hawaii) done somewhere in Germany by an _Italian_ pizzaiolo back in the 1960s when canned ananas came up. It was meant to be a fun thing but stayed ...

[@AironLaionErt]

akronymus Not so fun anymore lol

[@salviaaable]

YES ! im half italian and live in germany so i cant eat ananas on pizza but everyone here in germany is eating it...

[@akronymus]

salviaaable Ananas on pizza is heaven compared to what they sell as 'salami' or 'prosciutto' (I really don't understand why most people still order the crap). I turned to the very simple pizzas without any ingredients that really can be bad. Cheap mozzarella is still edible, for example.

[@spaghettitime1124]

One of the best places I ever ate was a small little restaurant I saw when I visited Pisa with my family, called Circolo ACLI/Bar Ristorante da Baffino. Immediately, we knew this was gonna be an amazing place because half the tables were filled with construction workers enjoy their lunch, while another section of the place was filled with seniors playing cards. There was no physical menu, with a server instead coming up and listing off the various dishes they had today, all the ingredients being from the local market! Had the best pasta con ragu in my life there, and my cousins had some amazing pesto, while all three of us shared a boar with olives dish. And for dessert, we had a lovely bowl of fruit, exactly as we did at my grandmother's! If you're ever in Pisa, be sure to check them out!

[@elinastrengell7754]

Coperto doesn't go to the waiter but to the owner, and the wages are extremely low. So yes, you tip. If you see a dish called spaghetti bolognese on the menu in Italy - run. Since you can be sure you have ended up into a tourist trap, in Italy there is no such thing, really. And for sure you eat pizza with your hands.

[@heatherconnors1742]

[@MarcoTesselli]

Are you interested to come in Italy ALSO for try local food? Give a try to “Romagna”, the southern part of Emilia-Romagna area. I’m talking about 45min from Bologna, cities like Ravenna or Rimini. Ask for “Cappelletti”, “Tagliatelle” (pasta) and “Piadina romagnola” (something comparable to an Italian taco, with a lot of stuff inside). You won’t be disappointed. Written by Marco, an italian man who loves US and who knows the tastes american people loves.

Wolters, a great video. Only one thing to point out: in Italy we are not used to tip, but we do if we are fully satisfied with the service. Oh, and thanks for mentioning my hometown, Marostica!
