Perhaps you could clarify your objective.
If you're looking for the old time movie experience of a multi course meal in a dining car, then no, you don't have enough time.
If it's just that you're looking for a quick bite to eat so you can hit the ground running when you get to your destination then you have enough time to grab a panini at the bar.
I'd just get something to-go before boarding the train and stay at my seat.

TrenItalia is not known for its food. Actually it is really bad. Bring some bread and cheese/salami; you can get a beer/wine on the train. Also the snack/dining cars are usually jammed with people standing having a coffee or a drink.

Restaurant cars on Italian trains usually serve a set meal at a set time so, even if you had long enough to eat a meal, you'd need to be in the restaurant at the right time.
At most stations, you can buy panini, pastries, canned and bottled drinks, etc, and the choice is much wider than you'll find on a train.
