Posted on: Italy, People and Culture

The people of Italy are not used to big tipping but sometimes it's just a matter of personal discretion. In major cities, restaurants add a 15% service charge and a separate tip for waiters at approximately 5%-10%. A fixed rate is charged per suitcase to porters in railroad stations including airports.If a porter has been very helpful, an additional tip of 25 euro is given.
