2. Capra & Cavoli (take-away italian food)

3. Mozzabella 

4. I panini di Mirò (take a _panino con porchetta e fontina_ )

Ice cream

1. Cremeria Funivia (probably the best ice-cream you'll ever try. Get the "Alice" flavor for a small surprise at the very end of your ice cream cone)

2. Galliera 49 (Try the flavour "caramello salato", Italian for "caramel with seasalt" and the Lemon one. Everything is amazing here, you can't go wrong)

3. Cremeria Santo Stefano

Aperitivo

1. Marsalino (best aperitivo; take drinks and they'll serve you some delicious "bruschette" for free) 

2. Lab 16 (aperitivo with huge buffet; I personally don't like it, many do. Quality is low in my opinion, but cheap and good for groups.)
