Thank you for the call. Speak soon.
Stress 'chia-MA-ta'. 'A presto' = ah-PRES-to.
Use this to close a professional or semi-formal phone call warmly. 'A presto' implies you expect to be in contact again soon.
'Grazie per la chiamata' = thank you for the call. 'A presto' = see you / speak soon. 'Presto' = soon. Alternatives for farewell: 'a risentirci' (until we hear from each other again), 'ci sentiamo presto' (we'll talk soon).
A risentirci!
Until we speak again!
Literally 'until we hear each other again'.
È stato un piacere. Arrivederla.
It's been a pleasure. Goodbye.
Formal, after a first contact.
Grazie mille. Buona serata.
Thank you very much. Good evening.
Evening closure.
The closing of Italian phone calls, especially professional ones, often includes reciprocal thanks ('grazie a lei, no grazie a lei'), well-wishes, and sometimes a brief personal touch ('saluti alla famiglia' — regards to the family). This warmth at the close of calls is distinctly Italian and makes phone communication feel more human and less transactional.
