I'd say this place crashed and burned when they let the Italian staff go. Coffee used to be quite something but those days are gone. The downstairs restaurant ain't all that bad with their pizza securing second place in my list.

Someone brought me here to try it the other day for a lunch takeaway - and I have only one regret. I didn't get enough. They have a load of different panino that I assume are the usual types (parma, rocket, pesto, etc) but I got a slice of pizza instead as it looked so good. I spent most of my lunch trying to decide whether I should walk all the way back to get more. In the end I didn't and it's something I will always regret. Until I go back on Monday for some double-time.... If you are nearby or walking up from the Dart, this is a good pit stop. Next time I'll try the coffee, but it's a proper Italian job so that's probably good too...

I grabbed a coffee and panino here today - the espresso wasn't the best I've had but the Speck and Gorgonzola panino was excellent and easily made up for any deficiencies in the coffee. While there's seating outside, you're probably better off getting your food and coffee to go and eating it in Trinity... unless quality bus corridors are your thing!
