In the restaurant scene, a reference to a drink called 'Grappa' is made. Grappa is a traditional Italian drink, made from the leftover skins and seeds of grapes used for wine. This is called the "Pomacy" or "Pomace". The Pomace is fermented and distilled in its natural state. The result is around 90 proof and clear in color. Grappa is also known by other names. It is called Marc in France, Aguardiente in Spain and Portugal, and in Germany it's known as Tresterschnapps.

Also, at around 10:29, the exact word used is "pomodoro," which is just the Italian word for tomato.
