Did you notice how I omitted the word questo?
Quanto costa?
Quanto costa? Literally means ''how much [this] costs,'' but translates as "How much does this cost?"
The word "this" is understood from context.
When you're asking how much something is, and it's understood what you're speaking about, for example, when asking by pointing at something, you can omit the subject.
This pattern is
Quanto costa?
"How much does this cost?"
You should be aware of this pattern, but for this lesson, we'll use the sentence pattern,
Quanto costa {ITEM}?
"How much does {ITEM} cost?"
