Venice43 Here's what a 14 € cappuccino looks like. That's about $18 US. The drink itself was only 7.50 €. But there was a 5.60 € service charge which included a charge for the live music (a string quartet). This brought the total to 13.10 €. As is the custom with European tipping, I rounded this up to 14 €. On the other hand, sitting at the famous Caffé Florian, enjoying not only the drink but one of the best people-watching spots in Europe, was an experience worth savoring -- and paying for -- if only this once.
