Ristorante Tip

Here's a very good tip that may seem obvious to some, but not to others. There are 2 BIG indications that an Italian restaurant is touristy, of poor quality, and overpriced:

1. The waiters are pimping for business outside the restaurant -- you'll find this a lot in Venice.

2. There's a sign outside like the one below. The food looks nasty in the pictures anyway. This is a picture from Milan. Best to avoid these places and look for a place where there seems to be an Italian crowd.
