I'll arrive in the early evening and will want a place nearby for a light meal and glass of wine. The hotel restaurant is closed while they repair their elevator. Can anyone recommend a place within walking distance?
OK, I had to look at a map to get the name: Pizzeria Rustichella (nicer than just a pizza shop). If you walk out the front door of the hotel, turn left and go about 1 1/2 blocks and look left down a small piazza for it. It worked for us when we were too tired to go anywhere further, and they took us at an earlier hour (6 or so) than normal for Italy. The place filled up fast by the time we were done.
In the other direction, go up to and around the corner. You'll pass a deli, and then there is a piazza that is more or less behind the hotel with some bars and a restaurant or two.
You can scout these locations by searching for the hotel in most of the mapping apps, and see what else is in the area.
Dont be surprised if all these places are busy.
Thanks, including for the directions. I'm expecting crowds - to make it worse I'm arriving on a Saturday!
