I will be in Tuscany, Italy in a month or so. I only drink decaf. How easy is it to find decaf espresso?

I just did a Google search of your question. I don't think you'll have a problem. There are several ways to ask for decaf in Italian. You might want to research that and prepare to ask for a decaf in Italian. Have fun on your trip!

"decaffeinato, grazie". No problems.

I am back from my trip to Italy.

As stated decaf was easy to find.

Here are my experiences with a mix of normal and decaffeinato:
- Rome espresso bars - very nice classic espresso didn't need sugar
- Florence espresso bars - very nice espresso with a little sugar
- Restaurant/hotel espresso - drinkable espresso with enough sugar

Pretty much as I expected.

I love me some coffee granita!
