About us:
In March 2017, Rick and Andrea (confessed Travel Addicts) started a Facebook Group called Travel Addicts as a way to share their travel photos and videos not just with their own respective friend's lists – but with the world. Part of the reason was for bragging rights (I mean, that’s kind of the point of sharing photos, right?), but also to help answer questions to others about the destinations they have visited.

After inviting some of our friends and family, it grew and grew – and as of June 2019, the group has grown to over 200,000 members! One reason for our success, we believe, is that we have done our best to ensure only high-quality photos and videos get shared, all while limiting the use of commercial content.

This was so helpful (especially how to order coffee and that latte is milk!)! Thank you so much.

Travelling to Italy from Australia for two weeks in October for our honeymoon. Milan > Cinque Terre > Rome. Your channel has been very helpful. Looking forward to it. Thank you.

That Italians don't drink cappuccino after noon, is a legend. When I was working in Rome, me and my colleagues always took a cappuccino in a bar after lunch as anybody else there, Italian or not. On the other hand it is very important to wait at the entrance of a restaurant to be seated by the waiter. If a restaurant has a good reputation, the places are usually booked. And it's safer to book in advance by itself to avoid disappointment.

Agreed. Nice vlog and tips. Biggest thing I love to do when dining anywhere and Italy in specific is to ask for what they specialize in and what their favorite or most local dish. Bear is a culinary anthropologist so this helps. Also, forget the touristy places. meals are always better when locally owned and in neighborhoods. Glad I re-found your channel. Love your style. We are both ecological anthropologists. Bear studies food culture and food production, and I am a sustainability archaeologist. As such, we love to meet and support creators and guides who share the history, culture, food, and nature on social media. Love what you are doing and hope you might like ours too. Cheers! - Turtle

i hope to be visiting Italy this summer. I am from the U.S. and I am of Italian decent and I have never been to Italy. I grew up eating Italian food and dining at many Italian Restaraunts here in the U.S.

Hello. Thank you so much. This was very helpful. I am visiting Salerno in 2 weeks time. My father was born there.
Been to Rome in November. Stayed in a lovely hotel a few minutes away from Trevi Fountain. The food in this area was really nothing "special" but very, very expensive. I am looking forward to Southern Italy. I assume the prices are not as high and the food is much better. I am going to watch your Naples videos now. My best wishes for you two. Wales, UK.

Thank you for this! A question...

Does one order all dishes at the same time or can you order starter+main and then after eating, you order desert?

Keep up the good work, love your channel!

In your opinion, what's the best way to make a reservation for dinner in Rome? Calling the restaurant, stopping by in-person, or online apps? Thanks!

[fraulauzon]

Hello! Thank you for this informative video. I'm traveling to Italy for the first time, though I have spent a lot of time on Germany and Austria. Is the table etiquette the same through Europe? Fork stays in left hand, cut with right hand... keeping hands by the plate, no hand in lap?
Thank you!

Arriving in Rome ( land at 7:45pm ) on a Friday. By time we get bags and catch train to Rome (looking to stay near termini, we leave for cruise the next day). Will we still be able to get dinner in at 9:30-10:30?
