An Italian meal always starts with some antipasti, these small bites served before the first course. Their goal is to stimulate the appetite, so do not order or eat too much if you still want to enjoy the following dishes.
Many restaurants offer a 'tagliere'. This is a platter garnished with cold cuts and various vegetables.
The menu can also offer bruschetta and all-vegetable bites. Do you prefer a healthy option? Better then to opt for these.
