- Greet shopkeepers with a polite 'buongiorno' or 'buonasera' upon entering, as this is a standard sign of respect in this refined district.
- Expect restaurants to open for dinner no earlier than 7:30 PM, and always request the check when you are ready to leave since servers will not bring it automatically.
