Eh, the LUISS cafeteria... let's just say it's... functional. Think basic pasta, questionable pizza, and the kind of salad that makes you question your life choices. It's not going to kill you, but it won't exactly inspire culinary masterpieces either. Honestly, most people I knew just grabbed a panini from a nearby bakery or hit up a couple of cheap eats around the university. There's a decent pizza place a short walk away – I can’t remember the name, but it's pretty popular with students. You’ll find it. Just wander around a bit – it's not hard to spot the hungry hordes. Stock up on snacks too, you'll thank me later.

Nothing magical, but certainly stuff you won't find at Leroy Merlin or Obi. Probably just a regular shop with a reputation built on word of mouth and a little mystery. Still, worth a look – if only for the atmosphere. The Pantheon’s nearby, so you could make a day of it.
