Usage Note

Ridotto is the past participle of ridurre (to reduce) used freely as an adjective. Common collocations include prezzo ridotto (reduced price), orario ridotto (reduced hours), and capacità ridotta (limited capacity). As a masculine noun il ridotto means the foyer of a theatre — a false friend with the adjective sense that can confuse learners.

Examples

"I biglietti sono disponibili a prezzo ridotto."
