This interesting place offers buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner. A membership card is necessary at a cost of 10 euros, however it is valid for the year (and I think worth it). Breakfast is from 9-11am and although offers a limited buffet for 5 euros, it is always quiet and can accommodate a large group. Lunch is served from 12.30-14.15 and is 25 euros. The dinner buffet is served from 19-20.45 and at 9.30pm there is a “spettacolo” that changes every night. You can look online for their schedule of nightly events.
