Try this place, its buzzing with atmosphere and serves good quality basic italian cooking. My wife had tuna pasta, I went for gnocchi, both home made and delicious. There were lots of locals eating there (always a good sign) albeit you need to know a little Italian as the menu is basic and completely in Italian. Give this place a try

This simple local friendly cafe is, we discovered, were locals lunch. While my husband attended his morning Italian course, I had a chance to explore and get to know the centre of this beautiful old city. Il Pulcino\s menu caught my attention: simple regional pastas, salads, grilled meats and daily dishes, all at very reasonable prices. We lunched twice during our week stay. Both meals (couldn\t resist the pasta dishes) simply yet deliciously prepared, fast service, pleasant lively atmosphere with families, groups of students, workers meeting for a quick lunch before continuing their day.
