When it's comes to dining out, there are many options. If you want to
fare colazione(have breakfast)
don't expect a big sit down affair.
Breakfast out in Italy is usually eaten
al bar (at the bar/café)
It's normal to
prendere un caffé al volo (have a quick coffee)
and maybe a pastry, eaten standing up, before heading off to work, but there are often tables as well for those who choose to linger a bit longer (though prices can vary quite a bit at the tables, especially in high tourist areas!)
