Takeout


Vending machine caves are tucked into buildings around town for fast food on the go.

There's espresso, cola, fizzy water, Fanta and--slightly disturbing--hot meals. For 3 to 5 euros, your options range from farfalle with smoked salmon to lasagna al forno. Those selections are always empty. I've tried to buy one just for the novelty. Either they're selling out...or the concept has failed.

I have a hard time believing Italians would eat reheated pasta from a vending machine.
