✦Grammar Breakdown
Ilservizioèincluso?
Definite article (Il)
Il is the masculine singular definite article used before consonant‑initial nouns like servizio.
Noun gender (servizio)
Servizio is a masculine noun, so any adjective that follows must agree in gender and number.
Verb essere (è)
È is the third‑person singular present of essere, used here as a copula linking the subject to the adjective.
Past participle as adjective (incluso)
Incluso functions as an adjective meaning ‘included’; it must match the masculine singular noun (inclusa would be feminine).
Question mark placement
In Italian the question mark is placed at the end of the whole sentence, not after each word.

✕Common Mistakes
Il servizio è includo?
‘Includo’ is the first‑person singular present of includere; the correct adjective is the past participle ‘incluso’.
La servizio è incluso?
‘Servizio’ is masculine, so the article must be ‘il’, not ‘la’.
Il servizio è inclusa?
‘Inclusa’ is the feminine form; it does not agree with the masculine noun ‘servizio’.
È incluso?
Leaving out the article makes the sentence sound incomplete; Italian normally includes the article before the noun.

Cultural Tip
In Italy, both 'incluso' and 'compreso' are used, but 'compreso' sounds slightly more formal and is common on menus and hotel brochures. When you ask the question, a friendly tone and a smile go a long way—It shows you respect the service staff and are genuinely interested in the details of your stay.
