Italy is one of the most exotic and interesting countries you can travel to. From the historical landmarks to the incredible cuisine, it truly is a dream. If you’re a foodie, you’ll probably have the time of your life, but there are still some things you should know when you go there. The culture there isn’t quite like the way it is in other places in the world, which is why we’re here to offer you this one tip: at restaurants, don’t take your food to go.
It doesn’t matter if you think the food was as delicious as ever. We get it. Sometimes the food is incredible, but since you ate so much you’re unable to finish it all. After all, what’s wrong with saving some of it for later? This is a concept that’s a lot easier for people in America to understand, but not so much in Italy.
They take their food very seriously over there, and things are a lot more proper. We highly recommend that you eat everything on your plate and not ask for a “doggy bag”, as some like to call it because they’ll see it as offensive to them and their establishment.
