Cultural Note
In Italy, being a cameriere is a respected profession, often a lifelong career rather than a temporary job. Italian waiters are trained professionals who take pride in their work. To get their attention, make eye contact or say 'Scusi' -- never snap your fingers or wave money. The feminine form is 'cameriera.'
