There are low priced (but still good food!) trattorias throughout the city center: 4-6 euros for pasta, 5-8 euros for meat. There are lots of options if you willing to spend just a bit more (8-10 euros / 10-15 euros) In Italy you don't have to spend a lot for a good meal. Avoid eating at bars right on the main squares.
