When arriving

It's important to keep in mind that business hours and meal times are different in Italy. Many restaurants and shops close in the afternoon and on Sundays, especially outside of bigger cities. Moreover, as Italians enjoy late dinners, many restaurants aren't open or don't serve food before 7 p.m. If you get hungry before then, buy some snacks from the grocery store, eat a panino at a café, or have an aperitivo before dinner.
