Cultural Note
In Italy, a ristorante is the most formal dining category, with table service, a full menu, and a wine list. The 'coperto' (cover charge, usually 1-3 euros) is standard and not a tip. Tipping is not expected in Italy, though rounding up or leaving a few euros for excellent service is appreciated.
