Wir sind ins italienische Restaurant "Sorrento" gekommen. Uns wurde ein Tischchen am Fenster angeboten. Ringsum standen schöne Zimmerpflanzen und kleine Palmen. Der Ober brachte eine Speisekarte und fragte, was wir trinken wünschten.
"Ein Bier für mich, ein Mineralwasser für meine Frau und einen Orangensaft für den Jungen, bitte", antwortete mein Vater.
"Okay", sagte der Ober und brachte sofort die Getränke.
"Was möchtet ihr essen?" wandte sich Vater an uns.
“Ich nehme einen Salat und eine Pizza mit Schinken. Dann einen Rheinischen Weißwein und zum Nachtisch Schokoladeneis", sagte Mama. Der Vater wählte Geflügelsuppe, Schweinebraten mit Kartoffeln, Bier und Erdbeereis. Ich bat um eine Pizza mit Pilzen, Eierpfannkuchen und auch Erdbeereis.
Mama bestellte fur uns alle. Bald brachte der Ober die Gerichte und das Cuteck.
"Schmeckt es gut?" fragte mich Mama.
"Ja", antwortete ich mit vollem Mund.
"Oh-nein!" rief plötzlich meine Mutter auf. "Du hast noch keine Manieren! Nimm die Gabel in die linke Hand und das Messer in die rechte", brachte mir Mama die guten Manieren bei. "Benimm dich doch!"
Endlich war das Beibringen der guten Manieren vorbei. Wir hörten Musik und führten leise ein Gespräch. Bald war ich satt.
Als die Teller leer geworden waren, sagte Vater: "Herr Ober, die Rechnung bitte!"
"Zusammen oder getrennt?" fragte der Ober.
"Alles zusammen, bitte".
"Ein Salat, eine Pizza mit Schinken, eine Pizza mit Pilzen und Zwiebeln, ein Weißwein, eine Geflügelsuppe, ein Schweinebraten mit Kartoffeln, ein Eierpfannkuchen, zweimal Erdbeereis, eine Kugel Schokoladeneis, ein Mineralwasser, ein Orangensaft, ein Kaffee und . Das macht achtzehn Euro.

We came to the Italian restaurant Sorrento. We were offered a table by the window. Beautiful people were all around houseplants and small palm trees. The waiter brought the menu and asked what we would like to drink.
“Please beer for me, mineral water for my wife and orange juice for the boy,” Dad replied.
"OK," the waiter said and immediately brought the drinks.
“What are you going to eat?” Dad asked us.
“I'll take a salad and a ham pizza. Then Rhine white wine, and for dessert, chocolate ice cream, ”said my mother. Dad chose poultry soup, roast pork with potatoes, beer, and strawberry ice cream. I asked for mushroom pizza, scrambled eggs and also strawberry ice cream.
Mom ordered for all of us. Soon the waiter brought dishes and cutlery.
"Delicious?" Mom asked me.
“Yes,” I replied with a full mouth.
"Oh no!" My mother suddenly exclaimed. "You've been brought up badly! Take a plug in left hand, and the knife in the right, - my mother taught me good manners, - Behave yourself!”
Finally, the training in good manners was over. We listened to music and talked quietly.
Soon I was full.
When the plates were empty, dad said: "Waiter, the bill, please!"
"Together or apart?" the waiter asked.
"All together, please."
“Salad, pizza with ham, pizza with mushrooms and onions, white wine, poultry soup, roast pork with potatoes, scrambled eggs, two strawberry ice creams, a portion of chocolate ice cream, mineral water, orange juice, coffee and two beers. It costs 18 euros.”

you came to the restaurant
In all restaurants and many cafes in Russia, the administrator greets you at the entrance, and he also escorts you to the table. If you come to a restaurant in Germany and stand at the entrance waiting for the administrator, you will be idle for a very long time. Guests in German establishments usually choose a free table for themselves, sit down, and only after that a waiter approaches them.
If you are unsure whether the table you have chosen is free or not, ask the staff about it using these phrases:
- Entschulding, ist dieser Platz frei?– Excuse me, is this place free?
- Entschulding, ist dieser Tisch frei?“Excuse me, is this table empty?”
In many establishments, the tables are larger and longer than ours, so do not be surprised that in the event of a full house, other people can be seated at your table (of course, if there is an empty seat behind it). And if you yourself find yourself in a situation where all the tables are occupied, and you want to sit down with someone, ask:
- Entschulding, könnten wir uns hier setzen?“Excuse me, can we sit here?”
Ordering drinks
To ask the waiter to come to your table, do not wave your arms or shout across the room. To let the waiter know that you want him to come over, just make eye contact with him, and he will understand that you need to be served.
