Do the maths with the clock.

La Lupa is at Via Marghera 37, on the Via Marsala side of the station. From the Via Marsala exit it is about a hundred metres; from Piazza dei Cinquecento about 550 metres, seven minutes on foot on OpenStreetMap’s walking route.

To stay relaxed, count the walk there and back, the time to eat and pay, and the walk to your platform: Termini is big and some platforms are a long way from the main hall. With an hour and a half free, a pasta, a coffee and the walk back fit in without running.

More sights on foot from here, with distances, times and two loops: things to see near Termini Station.
