Should you tip in Rome? Tipping isn’t really expected in Italy. You just need to leave some extra change or a euro per person regardless of check size. To simplify things, we have created different levels of tipping to help people understand: Don Corleone: Leave 20% and when you go back the restaurant staff will celebrate your return as if you were the Godfather. You may get some sneers from other restaurant goers who can’t get your waiter’s attention. Super Nice: Leave 10%. It’s less than you are used to but far more than anyone in Italy would expect. Roman: Leave a euro or two extra per person. The wait staff will be very happy. Nothing at All: Leave nothing and nobody will say anything. Your food will not be poisoned upon returning.
