When do Italians eat their main meal?

In Italy, the main meal of the day is typically eaten in the evening, between 8:00 and 10:00 pm. This meal is called "cena" and it is usually a substantial meal consisting of several courses. The first course is usually a pasta or risotto dish, followed by a meat or fish dish, and then a salad or vegetables. Dessert is typically served after the meal, and is often accompanied by coffee or tea.
