Vi aspettiamo
vee ah-speht-TYAH-mo
[vee ah-speht-TYAH-mo]
💬 Usage Tip: [Vi] means [you all] or [you plural] here, so [vi aspettiamo] is literally [we await you]. Italian often uses this where English prefers [we look forward to seeing you].
🇮🇹 In Italy: Restaurants often say this at the end of a booking call. It's a standard friendly closing, not a dramatic promise that they'll literally be standing there waiting.
