Italians prefer to drink coffee that suit different types of food or at different times of day. Cappuccino or caffè latte is mostly drunk in the morning with breakfast. Espresso is served for later to kick-start the day. Ristretto may not be a good choice for visitors as it is the strongest of all. Cappuccino is not preferred after lunch or dinner.
