One of the things I admire most about Italy is how they have held the line on the price of an espresso. It’s still just slightly over €1 if you drink it standing at the bar. They really have their priorities straight when it comes to food and drink prices.

So they charge more for an espresso if you want to drink it seated? Or take it away?

It costs more to drink it seated.

I don’t think I ever took away a coffee during any of my vacations in Italy, and very rarely so anyone else doing so, either. Either drinking it standing at the bar or seated at a table.
