What meals do Italians eat?

Answer 1

Anywhere between 12 and 2 PM. Although 'American" lunching habits - fast food, a quick sandwich - are gaining ground, traditional lunch in Italy would be a hot dish-affair with soup and pasta. And understandably so, since dinner in the south of Europe often does not start before 8 PM and sometimes even later.

Answer 2

In Italy Lunch or Pranzo is a big deal. When I lived there you never planned on trying to accomplish anything from 12pm to 3pm other then eat or siesta.

Lunch is a time for Italians to break the day. You eat a 1-2 hour meal that will include pasta, a meat or fish and usually a couple of glasses of wine and bread and then of course the espresso after the meal. In Florence I would see people eating a large steak much like a Porterhouse cut and always eaten very rare.

You can also find little cafe's that will serve a sandwich or a salad but Lunch in Italy is about the time you spend your free 3 hours in the afternoon.

Answer 3

A typical Italian lunchconsists of a first course (pasta, rice or similar), a second course (meat, fish or vegetables) and fruit. Commuters and other workers tend to eat less at home, but instead have a quick meal in a restaurant or pizzeria.
