Various Italian choices available here - whether you want pizza, pasta, seafood, meats, sandwiches, gelato, dessert or coffee, you will find them all here.  Each restaurant has their specialty and uses the products that they sell there.  Worth taking a browse in the Market as well for those interested in cooking.
This is like a food court but with more style.
