Three culinary excellences for an innovative offer

The new Food Court, which joins the two existing ones in Terminal 1 and Terminal 3, is designed to meet the needs of an international audience with a wide and diversified proposal. New dining concepts include:

All'Antico Vinaio: historic Florentine shop famous all over the world for its schiacciate stuffed with high quality ingredients.
EXKI: a healthy bar with an international feel, dedicated to a healthy and sustainable offer.

"Over the last few years we have innovated and diversified our brand portfolio also with the aim of growing in the Italian airport channel," commented Massimiliano Santoro, CEO Italy F&B of Avolta. "The diversification of the offer is central to remain attractive in a highly competitive market context and to offer those who pass through the airport proposals in line with new trends and able to satisfy any need".

"This initiative reaffirms the relevance of catering in the passenger experience, a key touchpoint in an evolutionary strategy that increasingly sees the customer 'at the center', commented Marilena Blasi, Chief Commercial BU of ADR. " In this context, the expansion of the brand portfolio, developed in a space with full visibility on runways and aircraft pads, creates an additional option, able to meet the needs of passengers from a food point of view but not only".
