      A service charge is sometimes added. When a service charge is on the bill, you don't need to add a tip.

      What to know in Italy

      Tipping is modest: round up or leave a few coins, never more than 10%. 'Coperto' is a table/bread charge, not a tip. If the bill shows 'Servizio', service is already paid.
