Some do charge you a sitting fee. But this is because Italians do sit for a long time. Still better than tipping and this way you never feel rushed.

I also got used to having bottled water with meals. They only charge $1.80-2.50 for a liter of still or sparkling water.

When we got to Paris I poked my head into a couple of wine shops. They're prices seemed higher than the US on Bordeaux and Burgundy. Restaurants were also high or you settled for lesser wines to stay affordable.
