ITALY. Autogrill, part of global travel experience player Avolta, has partnered with Aeroporti di Roma (ADR) to unveil Terrazza Eataly at Rome Fiumicino Airport.
The 250sq m outdoor dining venue serves as an extension of Autogrill’s Eataly-branded concept, launched in May 2022 in Terminal 1. It is located in the area dedicated to flights within Italy and to Schengen destinations.
The Terrazza Eataly food menu features a selection of hot, cold and seasonal dishes, charcuterie and cheese boards and pizzas. The drinks menu includes a selection of Italian wines and cocktails.
It joins the diverse food & beverage line-up in the terminal which features 20 bars and restaurants.
The launch was celebrated with live entertainment, featuring a DJ set and a flair bartender who crafted the special ‘Nuvola’ cocktail for the occasion. Notable guests included ADR Chief Commercial Officer Marilena Blasi, Avolta CEO Italy F&B Massimiliano Santoro and Avolta General Manager Italy F&B Luca D’Alba.
Blasi said: “We are thrilled to inaugurate another step that strengthens our increasingly exclusive, engaging and comprehensive food & beverage offerings. This new suggestive location underscores our commitment to advance the commercial offerings at our starred airport, ensuring passengers enjoy a premium travel experience.”
D’Alba added: “The opening of the new Terrazza Eataly reflects our development strategy in the airport sector, reinforced by our integration into Avolta.
“We are strengthening our collaboration with Eataly, with whom we share a deep commitment to innovation and the ongoing development of diverse and top-tier offerings, highlighting the finest made in Italy products.
“Thanks to Aeroporti di Roma, we are expanding our presence within Fiumicino, connecting with a large number of international passengers and offering dedicated dining experiences for passengers looking to enjoy a delicious food break.”
Terrazza Eataly is accepting reservations via the Aeroporti di Roma website using Book a Table, a new service introduced by ADR as part of the airport’s digitalisation of commercial offerings.
The opening builds on the successful launch of Costa Coffee in Italy in April and reflects the growing partnership between Autogrill and the airport management company.
The British coffee chain is located in Terminal 3 Departures – Satellite. ✈
