    Opposite Stazione Centrale, this buzzing snack bar draws everyone from surly Russian maids to cautious American backpackers. Side by side they scoff down moreish snacks such as herb focaccia and pagniottiello , a hybrid pizza/bread roll filled with aubergine, tomatoes and fresh ricotta. There's a self-service restaurant upstairs.

  4. La Cantinella

    Fussy foodies flock here for sophisticated twists on classic dishes. At crisp linen tables they savour the likes of beef fillet with Marsala sauce and pork liver served with Saracen flour flan, and encrusted pork with apples and Parma ham drizzled in an Armagnac sauce. Desserts are equally luxe, and the lengthy and interesting wine list yields some excellent quaffs.
