1. Never ask for cappuccino after
a meal.
Cappuccino is just for breakfast.
2. Don’t eat pasta or risotto with
bread or other food.
They are a main meal.
3. Don’t put ketchup on spaghetti.
It is not a sauce for pasta.
4. Do not cut spaghetti with a
knife or eat them with the
spoon.
Just roll them on the fork.
5. Do not throw coins into every
fountain you see.
Coins go into the Fontana di
Trevi only.
