Now I’ve been to quite a few Italian restaurants in my time, but never have I received a bill for €695 for lunch. But that is exactly what happened to a Japanese couple in Rome last month at the Passetto restaurant. The tourists say that a waiter offered to bring them a few dishes which they did not choose and were then brought wine. However, when the bill came they were amazed to find that they had been charged so much money. Understandably, the story has angered mayor and does not do much for the reputation for Rome, which is already thought of by many as fairly expensive. So the moral of this story is, check what the price of what you’re ordering before you order or you may have big surprise when you get the bill!

I once paid around €12 for 3 small packets of crisps in an airport in Portugal, which was bad enough, but that’s nothing compared to these poor tourists!!!
Life in italy is even much worse than this. By the way Also italians get ripped off, even from public services, throughout approx. everything as you step out of your house. Since about 20 years or so, human rights have gone way well below zero.
read beppegrillo.it and you’ll find out much worse stuff.
I don’t get paid for this. Hope I am not spamming.
What Michael Moore talks about USA and Bush it’s just a grain of salt in the atlantic ocean compared to what happens in italy. truly.
