Can I have the receipt?
scon-TRI-no — three syllables, stress on the second.
After paying, especially if you need the receipt for expense reporting or want to verify the itemised bill.
'Scontrino' is the fiscal receipt that Italian law requires all businesses to issue. 'Ricevuta' (receipt) is also correct. In Italy, by law, you must take your scontrino and keep it until 50 metres from the establishment — tax inspectors can ask for it.

Posso avere una fattura?
Can I have an invoice?

Ask to verify before paying — errors do happen
Italy has strict fiscal receipt laws. By law, the restaurant must issue a scontrino and customers technically must keep it nearby for 50 metres after leaving. Tax police ('Guardia di Finanza') have historically checked this, though enforcement is now rare.
