We stayed at Best Western near the University. Only a short bus ride to Termini and reasonable prices for rooms. There is also a cafe across the road that caters to students so is reasonable for snacks and a Gelato bar a few doors down that do not want to make their monthly nut on a few days sales. We enjoyed the Gelato. We had 2 dinners locally and prices were good.

Here at this family restaurant for one dinner
