If you want to eat in Italy, you will find yourself in front of a difficult choice because local eating have different names: some that just come from tradition, others call attention to what you eat or drink at that particular site.

His name used to rely on having outside insigna (Osteria del leon, osteria two swords ...) or the nickname of the owner.
These taverns emerged as resting and relief in walkways or trade, where the locals roads, squares, markets. Soon they became meeting places also, for social relations. The buildings were very simple, and gained prominence by where arose. Over time, they differed from simple structures to pilgrims or soldiers, and other more carefully for more important people.
The wine was what I could not miss an "osteria" and even today this is the characteristic feature of these places! In other words, here you can drink wines (especially the typical wines of the region), and eat only a tapas.

With the metamorphosis of cities, and the reduction of agricultural areas for administrative-directional comerciales- activities, these local began to disappear, and be replaced by restaurants.
Today, the "trattoria" remaining retain their original characteristics: local-regional cuisine, low prices, Simplicity in service and on the sets.

Of course, over time, the restaurant has differentiated both, which is now not only a type of local refined, but also more simple and economical.
One issue that differentiates from other Italian restaurants in different countries is the tip: if some countries tipping is fixed, to be given compulsorily (to become clearly identified in the final account, in some cases), in Italy does not exist. Tipping is something that you leave only if you are satisfied with the food and service, and its amount varies according to your choice.
