Story Summary

Elena, a Belgian tourist visiting Turin, walks into a busy cafรฉ at noon. She tries to order an espresso but ends up with a cappuccino instead. Her attempt to speak Italian leads to a gentle, funny exchange with the barista and another customer. Together, they turn her mistake into a lesson filled with laughter and kindness.

By the end of the story, Elena leaves not only with a perfect espresso but also with three new Italian words โ€” and a feeling that the city has truly welcomed her.
