Posso avere una ricevuta dettagliata?

Can I have an itemised receipt?

Pronunciation

'Ricevuta' — stress the third syllable: 'ri-ce-VU-ta'. 'Dettagliata' — 'det-ta-GLIA-ta' with the soft GL.

When to use it

Use at check-out when you need a detailed receipt for expense reporting or tax purposes. Italian hotels must issue a fiscal receipt (ricevuta fiscale).

What it means

'Ricevuta' is a receipt. 'Dettagliata' means itemised/detailed. Italy has strict fiscal receipt laws — businesses are legally required to issue one and guests should technically carry it when leaving the premises.

Cultural Note

Italy requires businesses to issue a 'ricevuta fiscale' or 'scontrino fiscale' (fiscal receipt). Tax police (Guardia di Finanza) can fine customers who leave a restaurant or hotel without one. For business reimbursement, you need a 'fattura', which requires providing your company's 'partita IVA' (VAT number).
