Italian style

La dolce vita

Italian style most often refers to a method of brewing espresso-based coffee, emphasizing strong shots, steamed milk, and drinks like cappuccinos and lattes.

More broadly, it describes anything evoking Italian aesthetics or traditions—fashion, design, cooking.

In sexual slang, Italian style means intercourse between the thighs without penetration.
