Italian: requesting the bill
A short service request becomes polite with “per favore.”
Ready to start.
Ask for the bill politely in Italian.
Model answerIl conto, per favore.
How this works
Il conto names the restaurant bill. Per favore is enough to make this short request polite. For a payment method, use vorrei + pagare (to pay).
Build it piece by piece

- pagare

Vorrei can be followed by an item or an infinitive action.

You have the bill; say that you would like to pay by card.
Vorrei pagare con la carta, per favore.
