Marilena Blasi, Aeroporti di Roma Chief Commercial Officer with Avolta General Manager Italy F&B, Luca D’Alba, at the opening of the Terrazza Eataly
Aeroporti di Roma (ADR), in collaboration with Autogrill – part of the Avolta Group – has opened the Terrazza Eataly, a new outdoor space at Rome Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci Airport.
The Italian hub was recently confirmed as the Best Airport by ACI Europe for the sixth time in the last seven years for airports with over 40 million passengers, and one of the only 12 5-Star Skytrax airports worldwide.
The Terrazza spans approximately 250 square meters and serves as an extension of the Eataly store, which opened in May 2022 in Terminal 1, in the area dedicated to flights within Italy and to Schengen destinations. In addition to Italian delicacies, Terrazza diners can now enjoy cocktails and the space is regarded as an ideal spot for a relaxing pre-flight aperitif, enriching the diverse food and beverage offerings in the terminal which features 20 bars and restaurants.
Terrazza Eataly is the latest addition to the food & beverage offering at Rome Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci Airport
The launch event featured a DJ set and a flair bartender who crafted the special ‘Nuvola’ cocktail for the occasion, with attendees including Marilena Blasi, Aeroporti di Roma Chief Commercial Officer, Massimiliano Santoro, Avolta CEO Italy and Avolta General Manager Italy F&B, Luca D’Alba.
“We are thrilled to inaugurate another step that strengthens our increasingly exclusive, engaging and comprehensive Food & Beverage offerings,” Blasi said. “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.”
Passengers can reserve a table at Terrazza Eataly through the new Book a Table service, introduced by ADR as part of the airport’s digitalization of commercial offerings.
This latest opening strengthens the collaboration between ADR and Autogrill following the launch in April 2024 of the first Costa Coffee in Italy, a British coffee chain founded in 1971 by Italian brothers Bruno and Sergio Costa, at Rome Fiumicino Airport (Terminal 3 Departures – Satellite).
The Terrazza Eataly menu features a selection of hot, cold and seasonal dishes, charcuterie and cheese boards and pizzas topped with premium ingredients. The drinks menu will include a selection of Italian wines and a cocktail menu.
