I used to live in Florence, then Milan, and the number of times I was absolutely crucified for having a cappuccino in the afternoon. But after six years in Italy, I'm the same. I mean, I still enjoy a 3pm (decaf) cappuccino. But I'll bite people's heads off for putting pineapple on pizza or overcooking pasta.

The quick fire coffee point is so true! When I was in Italy for work I made this mistake - the lovely cafe owner actually felt sorry for me and took me into his own family kitchen behind the counter to help me use my laptop (I was lost and trying to find an email with directions) - he also wanted his table in the cafe back!
