Pizza & Pasta ππ
The basics:
The Italian word for appetizer is antipasti (ahn-tee-pah-stee)
Restaurants have fewer staff, expect slower service and a longer wait time.
I would recommend you make a reservation for dinner.
Because of there being fewer staff, it is not recommended that you make changes to menu.
Most popular pizza is the Margherita.
Tips are not required, feel free to leave a tip if you receive great service. Anything over β¬7 is probably too much.
Dining before 7pm not common. Please do not be surprised if an establishment is not open before then.
