Diners who have chosen pasta for lunch have remarked on its distinctive, chewy texture. The menu includes oil-, tomato- and cream-based sauces, and every pasta dish comes with bread. It is an easy choice whether you want a satisfying lunch or simply prefer to pick a sauce that suits you.

Panini options include apple, dried fig and Camembert, as well as prosciutto with warm vegetables and cream cheese; both come with pickles. A panino makes for a lighter meal, while a vegetable salad is another option alongside pasta. The salad is a substantial single serving, dressed with homemade apple and onion dressing, but cannot be ordered on its own.

For a post-meal treat, there is espresso affogato, as well as an adult version with rum. Visitors have also reported enjoying semi-baked gateau chocolat and fondant chocolat with coffee—an appealing pairing when you are in the mood for something sweet. Espresso comes as a solo or doppio, and there is also Espresso Romano, served with lemon peel. Choose a short, straightforward coffee or one brightened with lemon; either can make a coffee break in its own right or finish off a sweet snack.

Some diners have enjoyed a leisurely lunch or coffee while reading a book or magazine from the shelves. It may also suit a meal alone or a longer pause after eating.
