Italian word
cappuccino
espresso with steamed and foamed milk
Looks like
a morning coffee drink
in English-speaking cafes, often a large milky coffee served any time of day
⚠️ The trap
The drink is the same, but in Italy a cappuccino is ONLY for breakfast. Ordering one after lunch or dinner will mark you immediately as a tourist. After a meal, Italians drink espresso.
To say "in English-speaking cafes, often a large milky coffee served any time of day" in Italian:
cappuccino (only drunk at breakfast)
"cappuccino" in English means:

Example
"Di solito prendo un cappuccino e un cornetto la mattina."
"I usually have a cappuccino and a croissant in the morning."
