How to order coffee in Italy:

Cappuccino

"Vorrei un cappuccino, per favore."

2 Espresso Shots + 2 Fl. Oz. Steamed Milk + 2 Fl. Oz. Foamed Milk


The holy grail of Italian coffee! Their most famous drink is equal parts of coffee, steamed milk and foamed milk, resulting in a warm and soothing drink to get your day started. But keep in mind that if you order a cappuccino after 10 or 11 a.m., you're gonna get some funny looks as Italians believe that drinking too much milk unsettles your stomach, especially after a meal. Still want to order a cappuccino in the afternoon? No problem, order a “macchiatone” instead.
