The Porto Fluviale is an ex industrial warehouse reinvented as a restaurant. Actually it's more than a restaurant. It works almost all day, from late morning to late night and you can choose the best way to eat depending on your needs.
It's divided in different spaces: La Trattoria, La Pizzeria, Il Banco, Il Salotto. La Trattoria is a typical restaurant, with a lot of tasty and reinvented Italian food in different sizes, depending on how hungry you are. In the pizzeria there is a wood oven. I've never tried the pizza here, but at least I can say that it looks good. Il Banco instead is the place to drink all day long, from a coffee in the morning to the aperitif in the late afternoon.
I usually go there at lunch. They have a big buffet, with a lot of different dishes, warm and cold, and a lot of vegetarian options. It's fast, good and at a good price. It's always really crowded, but at lunch you won't wait too long. In the evening instead you'd better reserve a table.
