  • Easter (Pasqua) and Easter Monday (Pasquetta) (March or April)

  • Use standard European table manners, keeping local customs in mind. When eating, avoid criticizing food or cooking, and do not rush meals, as they often last for several hours. Greet waitstaff with 'buongiorno' (day) or 'buonasera' (night), and wait to be seated at formal restaurants. Note: Order cappuccino only for breakfast; for milky coffee after late morning, consider a macchiato.
