Cultural Tip
In Italy, confirming a reservation is often followed by a brief recap of the date, time, and number of guests. Italians appreciate a courteous tone; adding "per favore" or using the formal "Lei" when speaking to staff shows respect. Remember that many hotels and restaurants send a written confirmation by email, so you can also ask "Ho ricevuto la conferma?" (Did I receive the confirmation?).
