Herbal teas are called "tisane" and camomile is "camomilla". Usually you'll get a cup of hot tea (una tazza di tè caldo). If you prefer a hot tea, ask for "té caldo", "con limone" (lemon) or "con latte" (milk). Cappuccino and latte often will be served with cacao (cocoa powder). No takeaway coffee! You can order an espresso (short strong black coffee), a macchiato (espresso with a frothy milk, hot (macchiato caldo) or cold (macchiato freddo)), a cappuccino (coffee in a bigger cup with frothy milk, often you can just ask "Un cappuccio per favore") or a caffelatte (the equivalent of an American latte note: if you just ask for "latte" in Italy, you will be served a glass of milk and be looked strangely by most waiters). We hope that this short guide will help you in having a clearer idea and enjoy your Italian dining experience.įirstly, it is important to know what sort of meal we are looking for: colazione (breakfast), pranzo (lunch) or cena (dinner).Īn Italian colazione is served at the "bar" (café) where you can sit at the table (tavolo) or most often stand at the bench (banco).

Somebody tells you that exists a man 260 years old, you can answer:Įstremamente is barely used as sostitution of molto because it means at the edge. It is used to say proverbial answers like Really? Another usage of veramente is when you are not sure of what you heard, because it is strange or not credible.

Proprio is very different by molto and it is, to make it simple, kinda like an intensifier of what you say near to it. You can also use it just like lot of, or as much. Molto just means very much and it is used also as a pronoun, you can answer just with molto to make the other understand that you agree with what he just said.
