Usage Note
Discreto has two main senses that learners must distinguish. It can mean 'discreet' or 'reserved' in behaviour, but very commonly it means 'quite good' or 'decent' as a mild positive evaluation: un discreto ristorante means a decent restaurant. English speakers should note that 'discrete' (separate, distinct) is distinto or separato in Italian.
Examples
