Tipping

Restaurants

0-10%

Not expected

A coperto (cover charge of 1-3 EUR per person) is standard and listed on the menu. An additional tip is not expected, but leaving a few euros for excellent service is appreciated.

Cafes & bars

Round up

Not expected

Italians rarely tip at bars or cafes. Leaving small change on the counter is a nice gesture but never expected.
