Choosing a Restaurant
» Ristorante (Restaurant) Formal service and refined dishes and wines make restaurants
the obvious choice for special occasions.
» Trattoria A less formal version of a restaurant, with cheaper prices, more-relaxed ser-
vice and classic regional specialities. Avoid places offering a 'tourist menu'.
» Osteria Historically a tavern focussed on wine, the modern version is an intimate trat-
toria or wine bar offering a handful of dishes.
» Enoteca Perfect for a little vino downtime, wine bars often serve snacks to accompany
your tipple.
» Agriturismo A working farmhouse offering accommodation, as well as food made with
farm-grown produce. Some offer farm activities.
» Pizzeria Great for a cheap feed and cold beer. The best pizzerias are often crowded: be
patient.
» Tavola Calda Literally a 'hot table', these cafeteria-style options peddle cheap premade
food like self-service pasta, roast meats and pizza al taglio .
