Abbreviations in Italian timetable

I was just looking up a restaurant in Bologna that has been recommended in another thread. Here are the days and hours the place is open:

Orari di apertura

Lunedi chiuso
Martedi chiuso

Mercoledi

19:00 - 22:00

Giovedi

19:00 - 22:00

Venerdi

12:00 - 14:00 e
19:00 - 22:00

Sabato

12:00 - 14:00 e
19:00 - 22:00

Domenica

12:00 - 14:00 e
19:00 - 22:00

I see that the trattoria is closed on Monday and Tuesday, and I understand the 24 hour clock. But what does the lower case "e" mean after the lunch hours?

Thanks.

Can you post a link to the website? I (or my husband) may be able to decipher it if we see it in context.

It means “and”

They are open for lunch and dinner at those respective hours.

I.e. open from noon to 2 pm and then again from 7 pm to 10 pm
