Imagine going into a restaurant in Italy or an Italian restaurant in your hometown and doing everything in Italian, from greeting the waiter to asking for the bill.

Find out how in episode 24 to a Five Minute Italian.

Hi everyone and welcome to Five Minute Italian.

I'm Katie.

And in today's lesson, we're answering a question from Craig, who got in touch and asked

us to talk about the most important skill of all, how to order food in Italian.

But before we get into that, I just wanted to tell you about something that will help you

understand and speak the basics of Italian quickly.

It's our five-minute Italian Academy, and it's free for a limited time. So if you're

interested, stick around until the end where we'll tell you more about how you can join us. But for

now, let's get into how to order in an Italian restaurant. This topic is important and there's a lot to

talk about. So we're going to do it in two episodes. Today, we're going

right from the beginning. So you'll learn how to greet the waiter, ask for a table, the menu,

order drinks, and most importantly, understand what the waiter is saying to you. So, you walk into a

restaurant and the waiter greets you. It's probably the evening, so he'll say...

Buonazera.

Good evening.

And you can say that right back to him.

Buonacera.

Next, you want to ask for a table.

Let's say for two.

How would you say a table for two?
