Should You Tip In Sardinia?


Many people travelling to Sardinia from countries where tipping is expected, may be left confused after a meal, not knowing whether to add a tip or not.

Giving tips are not expected in Sardinia. However, it’s a nice thing to do especially when you are happy with the service.

In bars, it’s always nice to round up to the nearest euro.

Resturants normally include a coperto (cover charge) of 2.50 in the final bill.

Some restaurants may add a coperto of 10-15%, this should be made known on the menu, so it is clear before you order.

The choice to tip in Sardinia is entirely up to your discretion. It’s a way to reward excellent service but is never expected.

Sardinia is a place beyond time. I visited the island for the first time over five years ago to volunteer on a farm. Now, I am living in the United Kingdom, working in regenerative agriculture (biodynamictrainee.com) but every time I have a holiday it will be in Sardinia. And maybe one day I will be able to combine my passions for agriculture and Sardinia together once again. Thanks for reading the article I hope it was useful to you.
