    • @GregorBrown
      @GregorBrown  9 месяцев назад +2

      It's not done where you ask for a box to take home your left overs. The plates they serve are not so big where you'd have so much that you couldn't eat. To Go? Some place do UberEats or Takeaway, but you'd need to ask in advance or find them on an App.

      In Italy, when enjoying a 3-5 course meal, it's common to order all the courses at the beginning. The restaurant will pace the meal, serving each course in the traditional sequence. Buon appetito! 🍝🍷
