ITALY Readers's Tips - I can't recommend a hotel, but here is a web site you might want to check out http://www.ronn.m/hotels/finale.ml

Can anyone enlighten me as to how much I may expect to spend on food each day I have no clue how much meals cost.I don't eat much my husband and I usually split a meal at a restaurant given the generous American meal proportions.Nor do we drink much.But, I do like coffee so I might add: how much is a caffe latte We do not anticipate preparing many or any of our own meals. You may want to give specific information with regard to where you are going.That would be helpful. I have been to italy four times but have never ordered a caffe latte.appuccino is less than 2 euro, though, as far as I remember. You will definitely be able to find price ranges in guidebooks and may be able to find some websites with prices if you google the place(s you are going to visit.Generally, the portions are smaller in Italy (and the rest of the world, I imagine than they are in the US.

Sitdown restaurants with waiter service can add up quickly and there is the cover charge that many tourists have to get used to (but it's always been there, it's just a custom. Check your local library and read up on Italian food culture know the terms and customs for the order of the courses (antipasto before pasta, pasta dish as an intermediate between antipasto and the meat dish, the meat ordered separately from veggies 'contorni' etc.tc.then you won't be surprised by what's different. Most places refuse to serve just an order of soup and salad, and sharing a dish is not common and may be refused, except for a dessert. Then there are more casual restaurants of all kinds, with plates of the day and fixedprice dishes, etc.ecause Italians have learned that Americans like to stuff themselves full of pasta (with the predictable results in evidence everywhere there are Americans., many places now serve pasta dishes as what Americans call the 'entree' (which, of course, is the wrong term anyway, an entree being a enteringthemeal dish, an appetizer, but never mind. So if you get a main course of pasta, that's unusual for Italy but you get it because you're a tourist, and it probably won't be as huge as if you were in the wasteful ol' USA. The Brek chain restaurants are reasonably priced, it's cafeteriastyle, selfserve, you take as much or as little as you want, and the meat dishes etc.re cooked to order while you wait and watch.ind the list of restaurants (about one in every major city in Rome and the North on (click it this site, you may grow to like them if you are not big eaters, because you can definitely just have soup or salad or both, you get charged by the item. I only know the Brek in Padua and the one in Venice liked them both very much. Hope this helps.
