Cultural Tip
In Italy, ‘treno espresso’ usually refers to high‑speed services such as Frecciarossa or Italo. It does not have anything to do with coffee – the word espresso in this context means ‘fast, express.’ When speaking to locals, mentioning the specific service (e.g., ‘Frecciarossa’) can sound more natural.
