Tipping/Restaurant Charges: Tipping
  • Tip Rating:
  • Until recently tipping was considered the exception rather than the rule; however, the influx of foreigners in Venice (not knowing any better; giving a normal tip as they would in there home) has raised expectations among many of the service providers. In Venice, unless the menu states that the service is included, a service tax of about 12% should appear as a separate item on your bill.

    Higher-priced restaurants rarely charge for service, relying on diners' generosity to compensate their staff.

    Tip checkroom attendants EUR.50 per person, restroom attendants EUR.20-EUR.30 (more in expensive hotels and restaurants).
