Diamond Cafe
There is a casual bistro at the bottom of the hill from Monte Castello in an area called Madonna del Piano. This restaurant specializes in rectangular pizzas but has a little bit of everything. I've gone there for lunch and had some tasty salads, we love their fries and their pastas are decent too. This isn't really gourmet food but if you don't feel like cooking it's great.
