This sheet collects prices for a spritz in Venice, a margherita in Naples and a Wiener Schnitzel in Vienna.

How much do a spritz, a pizza and a schnitzel cost right now?

The answer depends on the kind of figure, because a menu price is what one venue charges, a reported bill is what one visitor actually paid and a survey average rolls many venues into a single number.

How we check these prices

Every figure here comes from a page we read ourselves: a venue’s own menu, a report in a local or national newspaper, or a published survey. Each one carries its type, a link to its source and the date we read it. Menus change over time, and a reported bill describes a single visit.

A menu price is what one venue asks for one item. A reported bill is what one customer paid on one occasion, including any surcharges printed on the receipt. A survey average combines many venues, so no single place will match it exactly. The venues in the price list are there because they published a price or were reported with one. None of them is a pick from our list, and we make no judgement about their food or drink.

Use the sheet as a range to read real menus against. Prices shift with the street, the view and the extras on the plate, so check the printed menu before you sit down and see what comes with the dish or drink.
