Never Order a Latte in Italy

Do not order a latte in Italy. Here is why. You are in a beautiful café in Rome. You are tired and you want coffee. You say the word latte, because at home that means coffee with milk. The waiter smiles and brings you a glass of plain milk. No coffee. Just milk. In Italian, latte means milk. Send this to a friend before their trip to Italy.
Here is what to say instead. If you want coffee with milk, ask for a caffè latte. If you want a small strong coffee, just say un caffè. Italians drink their milky coffee in the morning, almost never in the afternoon. A little coffee after dinner is fine, but it is small and black.
The waiter in Rome sees this mistake every single day. He is not angry. He thinks it is a little funny. He puts the glass of milk on your table, waits a moment, and then asks kindly, would you also like some coffee in that? Now you know the secret. One small word makes all the difference.
