How Do You Make A Dinner Reservation In Italian?
While vacationing in Italy, you’ve found the perfect little restaurant where you and your partner can enjoy a nice, fancy dinner overlooking the town square. The only problem is, you need to call and make a reservation – and you don’t speak Italian. Making a dinner reservation at a restaurant in Italy isn’t as hard as it may seem. Here’s how to get the perfect table without spending weeks memorizing phrases. Get the restaurant’s phone number from a guide book. Dial the number that’s in the guide book if you’re using a local land line. If you’re using your cell phone, you’ll have to dial the international access code (011 if you’re from the U.S. or Canada, 00 from Europe), followed by Italy’s code (39), then the number. Greet the person who answers the phone by saying “Buon giorno” (“Good morning”) or “Buona sera” (“Good afternoon/evening”). Say “Vorrei prenotare un tavola per due” (“I’d like to reserve a table for two”) “per strasera/domani sera” (“for this evening/tomorrow evening”) “
