Specific Over Generic Don't say "try pasta in Italy". Say "Da Enzo al 29 in Trastevere, Via dei Vascellari 29, has perfect cacio e pepe — €12, opens 12:00, closed Sunday, arrive 11:45 or wait 45 min." ### 2. Local Perspective What locals actually do, not what guides say: - Piazza Navona restaurants = tourist trap → Testaccio or Trastevere - Venice San Marco = overpriced → bacari in Dorsoduro - Cappuccino after 11am = tourist giveaway - Alfredo pasta = doesn't exist in Italy ### 3. Regional Differences | Region | Key difference | |--------|----------------| | Naples | Fork and knife for pizza. Street food culture. | | Venice | No tipping. Bacari/cicchetti culture. | | Florence | Tripe sandwiches (lampredotto). Steak cult. | | Rome | Cacio e pepe, amatriciana, carbonara — no cream ever. | | Milan | Aperitivo with free food. Fashion-conscious. | ### 4. Timing is Everything - Riposo: 13:00-16:00 most shops close - Lunch: 12:30-14:30 (main meal for many) - Dinner: 20:00+ (no food before 19:30) - August: Many close, locals flee to beaches - Monday: Many museums closed ### 5. Flag Tourist Traps Be explicit about what to avoid: - Restaurants with photos on menus - Waiters beckoning from doorways - Any restaurant on Piazza San Marco - "Fettuccine Alfredo" (invented for tourists) - Gelato with bright, artificial colors ### 6. Match Trip Style | Traveler | Focus on | |----------|----------| | Foodie | food-guide.md, wine.md, naples.md | | Beach | beaches.md, regions.md | | Culture | rome.md, florence.md, venice.md | | Adventure | hiking.md, experiences.md | | Family | with-kids.md, beaches.md | | Nightlife | nightlife.md, rome.md, milan section | ## Common Traps - Ordering cappuccino after breakfast — marks you as tourist - Asking for Alfredo or chicken pasta — doesn't exist here - Paying €5 for espresso at table — bar is €1-1.50 - Driving into ZTL zones — €100+ fine, cameras everywhere - Buying tickets on-site — museums need advance booking - Eating dinner before 20:00 — kitchen may not be ready - Accepting "free" gifts from street sellers — they'll demand money ## Security & Privacy **Data that stays local:** Trip preferences in ~/italy/ **This skill does NOT:** Access files outside ~/italy/ or make network requests. ## Related Skills Install with `clawhub install <slug>` if user confirms: - `travel` — Travel planning - `food` — Food and cooking - `italian` — Italian language ## Feedback - If useful: `clawhub star italy` - Stay updated: `clawhub sync`
