Where to eat in Italy?

Name: Monica

Country: Mexico

Hi guys! Congratulation for the information so useful that you provide to prospective travellers to Europe.

I'm going in May and I have already virtually make the itinerary, but I would like to be advised on economic places to eat in Venice, Florence and Rome, I mean not the typical places where the Europeans because they eat leaves very expensive, but slightly more adjusted to the pocket and not necessarily involve sitting in a restaurant; recall if such markets, street, approximate prices and its location.

The same I would if I could advise on where to buy souvenirs at affordable prices.

Thank you and good luck with your next trip!

Hi Monica, thanks for writing!
To eat cheap, a first option that I recommend are the fast-food restaurants such as McDonald's, Burger King, etc.. It is not the best, but eat there around 5 or 6 €, and go to a restaurant you do not fall in € 15. This will serve to all cities.

Then, being in Italy, it really cheaper to eat are also pizzas and calzone selling everywhere. In Rome remember a place glued to the Trevi Fountain, I do not remember well the street, I suppose that would be the Via Poli or Via delle Muratte, but remained in front of the Fontana, on its side. That pizza was very good and very cheap, and you sold in the combos with drink.

In Florence we do not remember the addresses because we find it in passing ranging from the Duomo to the Ponte Vecchio, who had chicken menu item and was well on price, but the truth is that you do not know where to say is ... : (That I owe you!

In Venice, the same thing ... on their way to the Rialto Bridge, following the arrows on the walls there you suggest how to get there, and thousands of tourists, you appear seats that sell pizza and calzone, and purchases from the same street, at the counter . Those are the cheapest, there are several ... the watch when you're walking!

Finally, regarding the souvenirs, are always in the most popular tourist areas, and usually do not vary greatly in price between one seat and another ... to which they are able to buy relatively cheap is to hawkers ... us in Paris, a mini-Eiffel Tower leaving 6 €, ended up buying a 1.50 € ... but there is much that regatta!

Greetings!
