This Italian reckons you should never drink a cappuccino after midday and people weren’t having it
Over on Instagram the ‘Pasta Queen’ went viral with her ‘public service announcement’ that you should never, ever have a cappuccino after midday.
Why? Well, this is why.
And it turned out we’re not the only ones who have been doing it wrong. Here are just a handful of the many, many comments it prompted.
‘I ordered a cappuccino in Italy, the waiter said no😂😂😂’
ninakonjiniphotography‘I’m Italian and I love drinking cappuccino in the afternoon, even better when I dip a 🥐 in it. I’ve been working as barista for many years and we would serve cappuccino all day long till the closing. Maybe in the north is different but surely not that weird or illegal as you guys make it sound 😅’
barbaraviento‘Nadia, beautiful Nadia. You underestimate the power of Americans having just about ANYTHING for breakfast including last night’s leftovers 😂😂’
rayne.beau.rhode‘Latinos enter the chat with hot dogs scrambled with eggs * 👀😬’
clsparrow‘I will continue to have my cappuccino morning, noon and night! I will especially continue to ask for a cappuccino after dinner when travelling in Italy just so I can piss off the waiter! 🤣’
antoniettecatenacci‘I can vouch for this.. I am Italian and know of this “rule” yet it did not phase me…I still ordered my cappuccinos in the afternoon and watched several natives enjoying one as well.
‘It’s just steamed milk with espresso? Not sure what the big deal is? I sat drink what you want, when you want. Respectfully 🙌❤️’
lexijules21‘If it is in my cup, I can drink at 8 pm too. 3 am too. My cup, my rules.’
mm.ucal‘You just started a challenge among Americans: to have a hotdog for breakfast and survive after it 🤣🤣🤣’
nadushka_ru‘I admit, I ordered as many cappuccinos as I could, regardless of the hour in Italy. And yes, I got those exact looks of “mamma mia, non e possibile!” I had to, though, not enough time before 11 to drink as many cappuccios as I can. One time I had a very light diner and said I’ll pass on antipasti and desert and just get a cappuccio. I though they’d kill me. I could see it in their eyes 🤣’
jcdru‘I’ll drink my cappuccino when I want, to me it’s like a dessert… Like a Tiramisù. Enjoy!’

Just don’t mention what you do with your spaghetti.
