00:00Here are four things you need to know about dining out in Italy according to a restaurant owner's
00:03daughter from Rome. Bread baskets aren't free and usually cost around a euro 50 but I always
00:08recommend getting a basket especially when eating pasta so that you can get baked off. Restaurants
00:12are typically closed between 3 and 7 p.m and reservations are usually recommended as places
00:16will start to fill up around 8 30. Dining is a leisurely experience that can take hours and yes
00:21even dogs are welcome. You won't be rushed to expect to have to flag someone down to pay the bill.
00:26Restaurants don't offer tap water and there are three different kinds of water you can order in
00:29Italy. Liscia, leggermente frizzante and frizzante that result in glass bottles. Tap water is only
00:35for ordering at the bar when ordering cappuccino or caffè.
