...Have A Drink
Basically, the centre is full of places where one can have a drink. Many are concentrated on the riverside around Piazza Garibaldi, Piazza Cairoli, and Piazza delle Vettovaglie, where there are tables where one can sit outside. Most of these places offer free food (snacks) at the time of “aperitivo”, i.e. just before dinner. Others are concentrated around Piazza S. Martino.
Excellent raw beers (produced locally) can be found at Orzo Bruno, via Case Dipinte. Here you can also eat (nice warm snacks and sandwiches).
