It's quite impossible to generalise about family eating in Italy and Italians tend to follow the traditions learned from previous generations. Every Italian family has its own recipe for traditional dish.
Colazione: its breakfast!!! We don't like a lot breakfast, for Italians its Cappuccino or coffe, very short Espresso, with croissant.
Spuntino: equal Snak, we use eat Panino or somthing sweet, the snak time are 10.30am or 04.30pm with name of Merenda.
Pranzo: the right time to Lunch in Italy is 12.00am. The older person don't wait a minutes more.
Aperitivo: before dinner usualy we take a glass of wine with some salad snack like chips, sottoli, sundry tomatoes, olives, salumi, cheese, bruschette with extra virgin olive oil.
Cena: then comes the Dinner that starts from 8.00pm to 9.00pm and go on till deep night.
