Cultural Tip

In Italy, breakfast (colazione) is typically a lighter meal compared to other cultures, often consisting of coffee (like cappuccino or espresso) and a sweet pastry (cornetto). While room service is common in hotels, especially international chains, smaller, more traditional Italian establishments might have a simpler breakfast offering or not provide room service at all. Always confirm the specific services available.
