I didn't notice those restaurant food prices as out of line with other
Western European locations from my recent trips.

We have done a number of European trips (Spain, Portugal, France,
Switzerland, Hungary, Austria, Czechia, Poland, Greece) and were able to
find affordable food in all these countries.

For those that haven't looks at Alfred's report his sample prices a

Pasta Starter: 7-10 Euro
Main Course: meat 10-20 plus vegetable at 3 E per portion
plus coperto at 2 E plus unspecified amounts for salads and deserts

making a total of 25E pp 100 E per family, twice! a day.

Well firstly, after you have had breakfast in the hotel (which the report
says that he did) does anybody really have a three course meal for both
lunch and dinner. I certainly don't. Lunch will just be the pasta (or a
sandwich).

Well, wife and kids cannot survive on just a breakfast and a dinner over
a whole day. There must also be a lunch.

Well yes.

But not three courses, surely?
