Mini diálogo

— Dove posso comprare del cibo economico qui vicino? — Da Carlo fa il migliore kebab della zona, 4 euro. O c'è una pizzeria al taglio in Via Roma, a due euro al pezzo. — Perfetto! E per la colazione? — Il bar all'angolo fa caffè e cornetto a uno e cinquanta. Non cercare altro.

Nota cultural

Budget eating in Italian cities: pizza al taglio (pizza by the slice) at €1.50–3 per slice, panini at local bars for €2.50–4, kebab shops for €4–6 full meal, mercato alimentare for self-catering. Avoid sitting down in tourist restaurants near monuments — the same food costs three times as much.
