Ordering a specific drink.
خلفية ثقافية
The 'aperitivo' is a social ritual where a glass of wine is accompanied by free snacks. It's meant to 'open' the stomach before dinner. In Venice, a small glass of wine is called an 'ombra' (shadow). This dates back to merchants who moved their stalls to stay in the shadow of the St. Mark's bell tower. Most restaurants offer a 'house wine' by the glass or carafe. It is usually local, unlabelled, and surprisingly good quality for the price. Italians rarely drink wine without food. Even a simple glass of wine at a bar will usually come with a small bowl of olives or chips.
The 'Di' Rule
Always use 'di' for contents. It's the most common mistake for beginners!
House Wine is Fine
Don't be afraid to order 'vino della casa'. It's often excellent and very cheap.
