The bill was €430. For two plates of spaghetti.
This happens every day in tourist Rome. The restaurant has no prices on the menu. The waiter pours you wine you never ordered and calls it complimentary. Then the bill comes handwritten with a number that makes your stomach drop.
The infamous €430 spaghetti made international news — Japanese tourists near the Trevi Fountain, charged a fortune for the most basic dish on earth.
The fix: if a restaurant won’t show you prices, walk out. If they pour you something you didn’t order, send it back. And never let the bill arrive face-down.
Save this before your next trip to Italy. 📌
