(have a good day!) - Buona serata (have a good evening) Misc. Manners - Per favore (please) - Grazie, grazie mille (thank you) - Permesso (excuse me - to get through a crowd) - Mi scusi/ Scusami/ Mi dispiace (excuse me / I’m sorry) Miscellaneous helpful words - Il conto (the check) - Contanti (cash) - Right (destra) - Left (sinistra) - Straight (dritto) - Bagno (bathroom) - Biglietto (ticket)
