Using the formal 'vuole' with a friend sounds overly stiff; match the verb form to the level of familiarity.

Cultural Tip
In Italy, it’s common to confirm both the date and the time of a reservation, and to use a polite tone even in informal settings. If you’re speaking to a stranger or a client, you might switch to the formal 'vuole' (Per quale data vuole prenotare?) to show respect.
