B1formal

Può avvertirmi quando il mio conto è pronto?

Can you let me know when my bill is ready?

Pronunciation

av-ver-TIR-mi — four syllables, stress on the third.

When to use it

When you ask for the bill to be prepared in advance and want to be notified when it is ready, so you can continue your morning without waiting at reception.

What it means

'Avvertire' means to notify or alert. 'Può avvertirmi' = can you notify me. 'Quando il mio conto è pronto' = when my bill is ready. This phrasing shows confidence and efficiency — you are not asking to queue but to be summoned when convenient.

Variations

Mi chiami in camera quando è pronto.

Call me in the room when it is ready.

Give a specific instruction so staff know how to reach you

Mandi un messaggio sul telefono.

Send a message to my phone.

More modern hotels can text or WhatsApp guests

Sarò in sala colazione fino alle nove.

I will be in the breakfast room until nine.

Tell staff where to find you so they do not need to call the room

Mini Dialogue

— Può avvertirmi quando il mio conto è pronto? Sarò in colazione. — Certamente. Ci vuole circa dieci minuti. La cerchiamo lì. — Perfetto. Pago con carta. — Lo annoto.

— Can you let me know when my bill is ready? I will be at breakfast. — Certainly. It will take about ten minutes. We will come and find you there. — Perfect. I will pay by card. — I will note that down.

Cultural Note

Italian hotel mornings can be unhurried — especially at smaller family hotels. Requesting the bill in advance (the evening before or early morning) avoids the rush at noon when everyone checks out simultaneously. Good planning makes the departure smooth for both guest and staff.
