Acqua liscia o gassata? Do you want flat or sparkly water with your coffee?  

It’s brilliant! Coffee culture in Italy has this special extra, a shot of water with your espresso, caffe americano, or cappuccino. Just the right amount to refresh the palate before or after you’ve had your coffee. Because caffeine can dehydrate you, a sip of water not only refreshes the mouth, but it actually helps with hydration throughout the day. It’s a small thing, a shot of water, but a nice touch that the best Italian bars give their customers. When in Rome, Milan, Venice, or Florence look for bars that offer this luxury. Or at home ask your artisan coffee house barista, where’s my shot of water. Per favore.
