Good Weekday lunch in/near Italian Market?`

[Seanchai]

I'm looking to hit the Italiam Market with my family on a Friday morning and eating lunch some where down there. I though we could piece togther some great snacks from the various places, but is there a place we could sit and eat them? Alternatively, are there good spots for lunch down that way for a family with two younger kids? I know there's a couple of Mexican places (Plaza Garibaldi). Anything else come to mind?

There is Anthony's - a coffee shop that makes panini - on 9th just below Christian. and Lorenzo's - a dive looking pizza place at 9th and christian with the best slices of pizza (and a regular pizza place menu). Were it nice enough, there is a small park on 10th street with benches and a bacci court about midway between Christian and Washington

Unless you're averse to Mexican, I would eat at one of the many great Mexican places down there. Garibaldi is very good, you can also get great tacos (and sit and eat them) at Veracruzana and Los Taquitos de Puebla. If you're not in the mood for Mexican, Sabrina's is right at 9th and Christian. Bitar's (Middle Eastern) is also near there but it's a little hard to sit down there, they only have a few high-top tables.

Shank and Evelyn's looks like a great place for a family with kids. I haven't been, but it's on my short list.
