When you are traveling, it’s important to stay fueled. If you are traveling in a foreign country, that makes knowing how to inquire about food rather important. Eating out is also frequently a fun part of your experience, so it’s helpful to get a handful of food-related sayings under your belt. Knowing how to order food at a restaurant, or asking for assistance in a grocery store, is a great place to begin. Here are a few key phrases:
- I’ll have pizza please. = Prenderò la pizza per favore.
- I am hungry! = Ho fame!
- I’m ready to order. = Sono pronto per ordinare.
And if you find yourself at the grocery store, these will come in handy:
- Fruit = Frutta
- Vegetables = Verdure
- Meat = Carne
- Milk = Latte
- Bread = Pane
- Water = Acqua
