KEEP CAPPUCCINOS FOR THE MORNING
Don't order a cappuccino with your lunch or dinner, and especially never with pasta.
Avoid tourist traps when traveling in Italy. 'Doppio cappuccino' doesn't exist.
“
NO EGGS FOR BREAKFAST
Sweet breakfast items are the norm when in Italy. Eggs are usually served in savory dishes.
There's no place for ketchup on pasta or pizza.
SAVE FLIP FLOPS FOR THE BEACH
Warm weather doesn't mean swapping your shoes for flip flops. Keep yours for the beach, just as the Italians do.
Many Italians typically have dinner around 8pm. In Sicily, this can be later, at around 9pm, or even 10pm in summer. That said, don't book dinner reservations too early.
“
NO SLURPING
Unlike the Japanese culture, where slurping your ramen is encouraged, Italians see it differently. Try not to slurp up your spaghetti, or let out a satisfied sigh after a sip of water.
Avoid visiting the shops from 1pm to 3.30/4pm. Many are closed.
