coperto: In many Italian restaurants the coperto is a small charge per person that appears on the bill, for bread and the table setting. It is usually written on the menu.
prenotazione: For dinner, especially at the weekend, it is best to book by phone. If you cannot go, it is good manners to call and cancel as early as you can.
servizio: Service is often not included in the bill, but there is no fixed rule. Tipping in Italy is small and optional, usually a few euros or the change rounded up.
Lei: On the phone with a restaurant people usually use the formal Lei, with a greeting like «buonasera». The informal tu is used if the owner already knows you and uses tu with you.
