The days of a full Italian multi-course meal are becoming more and increasingly rare. You don’t have to order a full four course meal with antipasta, primi, secondi, etc. It’s perfectly normal to have just a plate of pasta and a glass of house wine.
Where To Eat on the Cheap
If you would like to sit down, the main, piazzas are always exponentially more expensive than simple bars around town corners.
Pizza for dinner is another authentic Italian experience.
Gelato is a sweet treat that costs no more than a few euros for even the largest serving. Keep in mind that it’s encouraged to try at least two flavors.
For your morning cappuccino and afternoon espresso, standing up at a bar will usually cost you half the of what you’d pay if you sit down at a table.
