Since we are talking about food this week, I think it is important to know the basics when it comes to place settings in Italian. So here we have it:
Il Piatto (eel pee-ah-to)— The Plate
La Forchetta (la four-ket-ta)—The Fork
Il Cotello (eel kohl-tello) – The Knife
Il Cucchiaio (eel kook-kee-eye-oh)—The Spoon
Il Tovagliolo (eel toh-vahl-yoh-loh) –The Napkin
Now if only we could all eat our meals here, that would just be the icing on the cake as they say!

What a cheerful experience!

Hi Jenn:
I’m trying to learn Italian. (Very difficult to do alone) I really look forward to your word of the day. It prompts me to practice.
Grazie!

Prego Violette!
It helps me too..it’s like a review for me, and I love linking the language to the food. So much fun!

Oh, don’t forget Il vino (eel veeno):) With a view like that I would love to be sipping some wine and enjoying a nice home-made Italian meal. *Yum*

Perfect Italian! at least to enjoy Italian food… we spent more than 10 months in America, and you can understand how much we missed it!

Hi Moro,
Thanks for the thumbs up!
I figure the most important words to learn in Italian are the ones that have to do with food and eating! The rest will come later!
You have to have your priorities!
Your blog sounds very interesting, I will have to come and check it out!
