'Ricevuta' — 'ri-che-VU-ta'. Stress on the third syllable.
Ask at the end of the journey when you need proof of payment for expense claims, work reimbursements, or personal records.

Can you write the route on the receipt?

Italian taxi receipts ('ricevute fiscali') are legal documents. They must include the taxi's licence number, the route, distance, and total amount. For VAT-registered businesses, ensure the receipt includes the driver's P.IVA (VAT number).
