Service tax (called VAT, BTW or IVA) is 21% which is already included in prices. For excellent service tip at your good judgment.

Recommended tip for portage of bags is 1 Euro per person.

For coatroom attendants tip 1.25 to 2.50 Euros per coat.

For bathroom attendants tip .25 to .50 Euros.

Restaurants include the tip in the bill generally, so only tip extra if the service is exemplary.
