Very interesting! Grazie mille!
Ahhh, I did not know about coperto, most probably because I wasn't paying attention to our dinner bills in detail! HAHA! Grazie mille, appreciate the tips in this video, Bene & Valeria! The other thing I learned is waiters don't split the bill for multiple parties in the group, we have to figure out our own math from the one bill, and pay based on that, LOL.
