Planning a trip to Italy? Before you sit down at a restaurant, learn about the “coperto”—a unique Italian dining charge. Unlike in America, tipping in Italy works differently. That small €2-5 fee on your bill covers bread, table settings, and basic service, meaning extra tipping isn’t expected. Avoid over-paying by understanding this centuries-old tradition and just round up for truly exceptional service. Enjoy stress-free dining in Italy and don’t worry about leaving an American-style tip!
