But to our surprise after climbing roughly five flights of stairs to the top of the building where this place is situated, it turned out to be just short of an oasis!

Fairly friendly service which was above all efficient and streamlined. This seems to be a well frequented cafeteria, so fast service is appreciated. Plenty of shade to find under the numourus parasols pitched above the tables of the dining area. It all made for a welcomed break from the hot outdoor afternoon July sun.

Highly recommend the Daniele Meini (La mozzarella e i formaggi) where they have amazing salads, pastas, and sandwiches. Got a mixed salad (insalata mista) with prosciutto and Burrata which was Buonissimo! It came with tomatoes, fresh olives, and a packet of olive oil to add to your liking. They also asked me if I wanted balsamic on top, which was an excellent touch. They also have a pecorino Romano cheese wheel that they will use to cook your pasta in. Don't just take my word for it, upon check out, our hotel staff highly recommended checking in a little early to our train so there's time to check out the Mercado Céntrale!

Thankfully person we were with caught that. Then at end of meal- said we owed cash tip on top of bill. We paid the cash tip- knowing it was definitely not part of what was expected.

I am afraid to share that it was pretty bad... We walk into the restaurant and a young man behind the counter asked us what we would like to eat. So we showed him the vouchers and he gave us somewhat a mad look. He asked us what we like to drink and what kind of baked goods we want... Having limited options we chose our baked goods ( 1 each ) and headed toward a table... After 5 mins, we got our drinks and a tray with variety of breakfast items as you can see in the picture that I posted.. It included yogurt, salami, mini buns, cheese, butter, jam and Orange juice... The salami tasted soooo bad... It tasted like it has been in vinegar getting pickled for ages... Just awful!!!! I have to be honest, but I felt like I am getting my daily share of food in a jail!!!!!

The service truly stands out -- the staff is incredibly friendly, attentive, and always smiling, which makes the whole experience even more enjoyable.
