Drink
Regional wines are cheaper and very good. House wines are almost always drinkable and inexpensive (unlike, say in the UK). Most trattorie wouldn’t be caught dead serving poor wine. You may often find a bottle of wine on the table for you.Believe it or not, this bottle will be less expensive than a glass would be in the US or UK, possibly only €4 or €5. This doesn’t always apply to those places that look really tourist-trap-like! (And why would you want to eat there?)
Water is free at most designated water fountains. Some of these date to ancient
times, and the water is still very good. It’s fresh spring water and safe to drink. If you carry an empty bottle, fill it up for the rest of the day. Look for the drinking fountain with constant running water, plug the bottom hole, and cool water will shoot up from a smaller hole on top of the tap.
