That's the way to do it. But not in the places the tours go. In each city find a little hole in the wall place then ask the waiter: "Per favore qual è la specialità [speh-chee-ah-lee-taa] della casa? Then when s(he) tells you, say: "va bene per me [meh]".

I’ll have to memorize that in case I’m ever so fortunate to visit there🙂

I have long wanted to take a donkey and walk through Italy from North to South, eating all of the way.

Sadly, my grandfather forbade me to learn to speak Italian when I was four. (My great-grandmother, great-aunts, and my grandfather spoke it in front of me continually when I was a small child.)
