  • It is kind of typical in Italian tourist places that both a service charge (servizio) of 12 % and a charge for bread and cutlery (coperto) of 1 or 2 Euro is added to the bill. So keep that in mind when calculating your budget or thinking about a tip.
    Apart from that the prices for drinks are often not displayed on the menus outside of the restaurant. Compared to the cheap pasta or pizza, the drinks might come very expensive.

     Me again, just having a look at your updates since last February. Great that you were able to meet up with such lovely VT members at Ai Sportivi and Da Sandro.

     Great page Holger = I can see myself getting lost in Venice's back streets so I wouldn't need a map
