Open HoursNoon-3p M-Sa

This is a delicatessen-style restaurant open only at midday. It is popular with gourmets who are not content with only a sandwich for lunch. In the heart of the city centre, this is a distinctive place, a food shop with tables at the back. The menu is extremely traditional—pasta with herbs, pumpkin or potatoes and chickpeas to start. For the main course, the diner may choose from a variety of boiled or roasted meats. The desserts are also excellent including zabaglione covered with warm chocolate.
