1€ is too expensive. Any place where it costs over 0.70€ is charging tourist prices
And it's not water, it's the proper ratio of water to coffee.
A popular local snack is called a prego. A steak roll basically. Also cheap and good.
That goes extremely well at 3AM with an
imperial -- beer from the tap. (In the north the term is
fino (read: finoo).
