What time do Italians eat their meals?
Typically Italians have a morning coffee or cappuccino, then break for lunch between 1 and 3 pm. The Italian dinnertime does not begin until approximately 8 pm, but it is not uncommon to see people sitting down to dine as late a 10 pm. Some restaurants, in fact, may not take reservations until 8 pm. If this dinning hour seems late, a good way to fight off hunger may be to stop into a local enoteca, or wine bar, to enjoy a glass of wine and a small portion of local cheese before heading to your dinner. A great choice is the quaint enoteca, Le Volpi e l’Uva. Ask our office for more information!
