In Italy, it is common for restaurants to include a service charge, known as "servizio," of around 10% in the bill. When this charge is present, tipping is not required.

Italy uses the Euro (€) as its currency. It's handy to know, especially when you're planning those delightful café stops or shopping sprees in charming Italian boutiques. Most places in Italy accept credit cards, but it's always smart to have some cash on hand for smaller establishments or tips. If you need any tips on currency exchange or managing travel expenses, feel free to ask!

Italians appreciate politeness, so learning a few basic phrases like "grazie" (thank you) and "ciao" (hello) goes a long way.
