Alternatives
The local lunch offerings available on the Sapienza University campus and nearby cannot service on the order of a thousand meeting participants, and walking to and from the main train station area requires a minimum of 15 minutes brisk walk under the hot July sun of Rome each way.
We can provide a reasonable nuttritious lunch in the relative comfort of the shaded area in front of the Physics Department (Fisica Marconi) and nearby provided we have a reliable estimate of the demand for each day. This will allow you to spend time with your colleagues without wasting time and energy hunting for some other lunch option in very hot weather. Without a reservation you risk not being able to purchase lunch tickets upon arrival and being excluded from this offering.
