Unsure of the difference between Molto and Parecchio...
'If I reply to the question - 'C'è ancora pane?' with 'Sì, molto' or 'Sì, parecchio', is there a differnce in Italian?
Also I'm not sure of the difference in meaning to answers to the question, 'Hai mangiato?' - 'Sì, molto' / 'sì, tanto'
In my grammar book 'tanto' is translated as 'a lot'
Thanks for any help you can give. Grazie

Hi!
Both of them are uncountable pronouns. "molto" is generally more used. "Parecchio" is less quantity than "molto" but generally we use them as synonyms.
I hope it helps!

Hi, --parecchio// (to me) is the informal version of --in quantità/ --in abbondanza
--- C'è ancora pane? ---Parecchio/ ---Hai voglia! / ---Fischia! / and so on
--- C'è ancora pane? ---(Sì,) in abbondanza/ ---in quantità/
Terminator would say ---Affirmative; but as T. you also might decide which is the context. More bread implies more friendly relations.
