On Sunday Yle took us to her favorite bar to show us how to have un cafe, Italiano!
Many times while traveling in Italy I would stop in a friendly looking bar that was not too crowded to have a cappuccino and a brioche. Since you ONLY drink cappuccino in the mornings in Italy I always found it more difficult to order coffee later in the day.
Expresso is troppo forte, to strong for me and asking for another brew with milk is beyond my limited language skills. I think I am asking for a coffee with a lot of hot milk and have received warm milk instead...... just another fun experience.
So lets have Yle show us how to prenda una cafe!
Andiamo
al bar a prendere un caffé: Let’s go to the bar for a coffee
One of the sentences you will most frequently
be asked in Italy is to go to the bar for a coffee: now..it will happen among
friends, during a business meeting or after basic greetings.
Coffee at the bar
infact, in Italy, is a kind of anthropological key to make have a conversation or just
interact with others, or simply relax and enjoy a gorgeous espresso or
cappuccino on your own or in good company.
You can find a bar everywhere in Italy
(even at the beach) and in the bar, it is possible to taste and try so many
delicious things: coffee, tea, soft drinks, snacks, pastries and excellent
wines as well.
