I am researching local or tourist-oriented facilities in regards of Food/Lodging industry.
Could you please clarify the difference among,
Bettola
Osteria
Taverna
Trattoria
Ristorante
And among
Locanda
Pensione
Albergo
Hotel
I did look all these words in Ragazzini's dictionary, but it is still not clear if there are socio-economical or cultural distinctions, a grading, or a scale of perception of values, not really economical, but of quality?
For example, I heard some would try first Trattorias first, before restaurants, as their "cucina" is supposed to be more genuine?
Thank you.
