Mini diálogo

— Quant'è per tutto? — Tre Spritz e due birre — €26 in tutto. — Ecco trenta — tenga il resto. — Grazie! Torna presto.

— How much is it for everything? — Three Spritzes and two beers — €26 in total. — Here's thirty — keep the change. — Thank you! Come back soon.

Nota cultural

Paying in rounds ('a turno') is less common in Italy than in Britain or Ireland. Italians at bars typically order when they want, and at the end one person pays the full amount for the group ('paga uno solo'). The expectation is that next time someone else pays — a system built on social trust.
