An Italian holiday may be a priceless experience for those who have enjoyed all this country has to offer. But the summer of 2023 will go down as one of the priciest in history after a slew of price gouging scandals at cafes and restaurants that have affected foreign tourists and Italians alike.

      This is a minor quibble, but I’ve never been charged a fee for an extra plate. They usually only charge when you request to “split the order”, meaning the kitchen splits the entree onto two plates for you.

        Might depends on the restaurant. My family frequents a German restaurant for family holiday meals. The extent of the service they provide is strictly bringing an extra plate and silverware. And it’s an $8 split plate fee.
