What Italy actually expects

Italians generally don't tip on top of the bill. Watch for the coperto — a fixed €2–4 per person cover charge, legal where printed on the menu, banned in Lazio (Rome) — which is not a tip. Rounding up or a euro or two is welcome.

The full breakdown — amounts, rounding, and what we did on the ground — is in our Italy tipping guide.
