OK, here’s another THREAD on mistakes to avoid when you think you are speaking in Italian 
- There is no X in Espresso
- Don’t say bruscetta (broo-sheh-ta)! It’s bruschetta: broos-keh-t-tah. Ch in Italian = K like kettle in English [Tommaso Buscetta is a different topic]

- Confusion between beautiful & good. Bello (/a/e/i) is about a view, a person, a dress. But not for food, that’s when you use buono/a/e/i
