Make me. We won the war.
Most of all don't be stupid and narrow minded and beware that we have our uses and habits.
Approved, but eat what you want when you want it. As long as it’s available, no one will care. Also even if it isn’t on the menu, many places will make some simple pasta with passata for children or any changes to a dish that is on the menu
Tourist got the "cappuccino rule" wrong. We don't care if someone has it in the afternoon, we also do that. The problem is when you have it as a side drink during lunch or dinner. That is savage, and most restourants won't even do that for you, rightfully so.
Things to do in Italy videos be like. Only speak Italian based with correct regional dialect of each place you visit. Don't go to tourist locations. Real locals will have grown up around them so you will be a social oddity if you have genuine curiosity about them. Only eat foods traditional to each region or you're boojee or unsophisticated depending on the region. If you aren't familiar with every custom of an area simply don't go you're disrespectful if you can't learn a whole culture in the span of planning your vacation. A vacation destination is a life long commitment not a whim of fancy respect other cultures or don't bother.
Meanwhile in America everyone is fine with doing about anything. The only real advice is tipping culture and checkout Tax will be different than what you're going to expect.
Is the water from the really old faucets safe to drink? Assume the water is up to the standard, how about the old pipes?
If you’re paying for it and the Italians are giving you Cappucino
Then do not tell anyone when they can drink it.
The Tourist is the Paying customer… if the Italians have a problem then don’t take the tourists money.
Actually be nice to the tourists bc they Are Your Economy.
Can we all just relax without all these rules? For God's sake, if you want a cappuccino in the afternoon, then have it, who cares? Why has traveling become such a science? Just go and use common sense.
also: don’t fall for the painting scams (people will sit on the street with printed cards they claim to have painted, sometimes even with a paint pot near them to look more authentic)
don’t buy bottled water from random people selling it. i’ve seen people take water bottles from bins and refill them at one of those fountains, and then sell them for a premium in the heat of summer… 🤢
The video showed a latte not cappuccino. I would drink it any time if someone offered it for free…
Is it dangerous in rome is there alot of mafioso roaming free?
Nobody cares what tourists do. Drink cappuccino with Parm after 5 pm if you like. Tourists are not people.
The water comes out cold as well.
We had iced coffee in the afternoon
what if we drink a cappuccino in the afternoon and have a nice swim in the fountain 🤭
I'll drink cappuccino whenever I want, thank you very much 😤😂
pro tip: dont spend your vacation in italy
good advices
My parents got sick from drinking in the public fountains. We all ate the same thing except drinking the fountain so I was the only one who did not get sick
Makes sense. Except that I will drink cappuccino whenever I want.
If I want a cappuccino on my vacation, I’m ordering a cappuccino. 😂
I will have a cappuccino in the afternoon😮
For sure!!!
The most stupid rule ever Mama mia😊
💚🤍❤️✌️👋
Buy the bottled water, the water in the nasoni is room temp and that room temp is boiling!!! Roma is hot af in summer
Why do the Romans have so many hidden "rules"?! Every post they make always has so many rules. Especially about food. 😂
Please tourists, respect these place… everyone is welcome. Some people have no respect and behave badly. Rome is almost 3000 years old and and its monuments are beautiful. ROMA=AMOR❤
If I'm ever in Rome again, I will be drinking cappuccinos at all hours and to my heart's content.
Afternoons are for naps!
Is the water safe to drink
So glad gelato is fine anytime 😊
I like the fountains, but why can't anyone clean them? I'm sure the water is clean, but the basins look so filthy.
And don't drink your Cappuccino while eating Pizza. Mi raccomando…
If you're European you'll drink coffee when you bloody well like, thank you!!
coffee in the pm, sure thing. stupid nonsense video
I would say that the cappuccino restriction is only if you are in some chic places or in a restaurant, for example if after launch or dinner the people in your group are ordering a caffè, taking a cappuccino in that instance could be considered weird or "inappropriate" and could be more social fitting a "caffè macchiato" (which is similar to a cappuccino but much shorter and with an higher percentage of coffee).
I think the reason why Cappuccino is not really considered that socially acceptable in those circumstances is because it's meant more as a breakfast drink or as an afternoon sweet snack, to give you a frame of comparison it would be kinda like taking a glass of wine in the morning for breakfast, not as bad obviously and for the Cappuccino most people don't care i think, but it's still a little weird let's say.
And don't worry all italians know that sometimes the Cappuccino is a necessity and can't be denied no matter what the hour is, just as i said don't do that if you are in a social situation where manners are important (like in a business/job meal) or in a chic place.
Wth is wrong with you US guys? Of course I WILL BUY bottled water because the fountain has no damn sparkling water! 🤦♂️
Drinking cappuccino in the afternoon is only a problem for these bloggers LOL, not Italians. They couldn't care less.
