I love these trendy, touristy markets where everyone in your group can pick their own meal/treat and you can come back to one spot and enjoy together. Similar to Rome with an upstairs, everything was mouth watering and fairly priced. There's not too much to grab in the immediate Centrale area, so this is a great place to kill time if you have a connecting train, heading back to the airport or getting on a bus in front for a tour. The newest in NYC near Union Square is tiny compared to this one. It's literally in a section of the train station. read more

Mercato Centrale Milano - Cappuccino, perfect in every way - Public Markets Near Me - Milan, Michigan

On our short trip to Milano We had the chance to stop by this place to a small bite with the family. Close by the train station is a big building that holds diversity for food to try. The place is chic and hectic , good illumination and several options to try We opted for sampling hot sandwiches with capuchino (was very cold that day) Everything was delicious and portion generous for our group of 4. You can find Italian and international food Gelatos and wine and cocktails all under the same roof People were nice to explain and help us to select our food in English since none of us speak Italian. And was easy to order and get the food we wanted. read more

Amazing food hall chain that is in so many cities! Every city we went to we stopped at a Mercado Centrale for a snack or a quick bite. They have a variety of options and everything we got we would get again! It's so hard to not stop by! Service at each location is great! Some places will give samples. Prices are reasonable! You order the food and then pick it up and grab a seat. Tons of seatings available for small or large groups. The food hall is super clean! Would recommend coming here! read more

Pretty cool food "court" next to the train station. Tons of great places to try. From pizza to US style smashburgers. Yup, and everyone here is pretty friendly. Milan is what I would consider to be the nicer part, but hospitality has always been a selling point Italy and this area is great with that. Overall, if you're hungry, you'll probably find something you like here. read more

Awesome vibes here. You can get all sorts of foods and drinks here. I can walk here for hours. There's also this restaurant group next to each central station within each of Italy's large cities and I had the chance to go to a handful of them. read more

We flew into Milan and wanted a quick dinner as soon as we arrived at the train station, so we tried La Pizzeria del Mercato Centrale Milano. There are tons of options at this food hall, but a Margherita Pizza was calling our names. It was a great start to the trip as all the ingredients were so fresh, especially the dough. It was baked to perfection as you could taste the coal-fired oven difference, and they gave a generous amount of mozzarella. It was just lacking a little sauce but otherwise a delicious pizza overall! read more

Mercato Centrale Milano - Public Markets Near Me - Milan, Michigan

Another great market located near the central train station in Milan. Each of these central markets have categories of types of Italian foods - pasta, pizza, sandwiches, truffles, bread etc. At the end of the giant hallway of food options, there was a place for pasta and pizza and what looked like Calzones. I spoke with the server and ordered something on the menu, asking him what this is and if it's like a sandwich and he said yes. Unfortunately when it came out, it was actually a pizza. I clarified that I wanted to order a calzone actually and he said oh sorry, next time you come you can try. That was unfortunate and not that this expected, but typically the meal would be comped or they would take back the pizza and remake for the actual order. That didn't happen here and to expect that I'll come back after you got my order wrong is ridiculous. The pizza was actually pretty good, it was topped with ricotta cheese and pretty heavy but very delicious. There were tables all around with silverware and thankfully no cover charge (I think this is a benefit of eating at the Mercato Centrale) I wish the service was a little more gracious then I would have actually returned to try the calzone. read more

The setting is super cool; a market with multiple food stands. A great variety of food, the quality however is medium, we tried some type of beef schnitzel with sautéed potatoes, it was ok. The experience is still worth it though, I would go back and try other stands food. read more

Amazing market located below the Milano Centrale station. They have a collection of vendors from cafes and bars to delis, pizza, sushi, bakeries, and classic Italian food. You can grab items you'd like to-go or for dine-in. There are tables scattered around the building to eat at and if the table has a QR code then you can order additional drinks for service to your table. Great location and variety of food to visit after your train or while you wait! read more

I knew immediately upon our trains arrival into the Neo-classical masterpiece that its the Milano Centrale Train station that Milan would be joining the top ranks of my list of personal favorite world cities. That feeling was only further compounded once we made our way into this magnificent food hall/marketplace located within it. Now don't write me off as yet another cliche, raging self-hating American-in-Europe. While I certainly love to indulge in that on most any occasion, I will note that we do have some wonderful central markets in or adjacent to central stations back home. Grand Central food halls in both NYC and LA, and Reading Terminal Market in Philly and the like are surely all no slouches but I would have to say this one puts them all to shame. On our famished arrival we had a massive and varied lunch. We feasted on a variety of different regional Italian offerings including a solid and bracingly fresh spaghetti vongole with freshly shucked to order clams from the restaurant adjoining the fish mongers stall, some lovely focaccia-like square pizza with fresh veggie toppings from an apparently very popular bakery which also served some mighty temping looking overstuffed paninis, and some massive,Sicilian style arancini and cream filled bomboloni. We left not surprisingly blissfully stuffed. On subsequent trips in and out of the station I took advantage of some of the deeper cuts of the markets offerings, which provide a wonderful variety of offerings that no doubt check many boxes off the wishlists of many weary and worldly travelers, like crucially for me a classic green-juice operation that provided me a very useful healthy and cleansing liquid breakfast on my way to a gluttonous trip of indulgent gorging in the food-mecca of Bologna. Veering further from the more classic Italian offerings proved somewhat of a mixed bag however, with a really sub par Chinese shrimp dumpling I got from the stall there being probably the only really bad thing I had in Milan. There's definitely a lot of really great Chinese-food to be found in this town, both within and outside of its relatively large and extremely vibrant Chinatown, this however is not it. A sushi stall looked similarly suspect. If you want to be a real little thrifty sneak you can lurk around and make a very filling snack/small meal by simply mooching off the many free samples on offer, which led me to sample some of the most traditionally local Milano offerings of a thick and crispy Milanese veal cutlet from the butcher shop and some rich and decadent Milanese style saffron risotto from another operator. Was sad to leave the pull out of this magnificent station when leaving the city on our way to the airport home, looking forward very much for my next chance to roll in here again and grab some more food and fun at the market. read more

This is an interesting mixture of different restaurants/stalls. If you cannot find places to sit down on the first floor I recommend you look upstairs. There are some common tables and their are tables that you can sit only if you eat in the particular restaurants. They sometimes offer small taste bits to lure you into their restaurant. The seafood one on the first floor is so so. I think the fried shrimp and calamari rings are too salty and Iiked the shrimp better than the calamari rings. Also if they had some seafood sauce it would have tasted better. As for the beef stomach lampredotto place on 2nd floor is also so so because ironically it's too soft and lost the texture what makes beef stomach delicious. The food is slightly expensive for what you get and service is basically nonexistent but who needs service if you are coming here? read more

There's plenty of vendors and options here if you find yourself with time to kill at the station. The atmosphere is what you find many of the big city American marketplace efforts attempting to replicate. The difference here is that the mixture of offerings and quality of product isn't particularly overpriced (subjective I know). Whether you're looking to have a full blown meal or just an espresso or sweet treat the number of options ends up being able to satisfy what most folks are looking for. Probably due to the nature of the train station, it felt like seating was sufficient and turned over at a decent enough pace that it was not hard to find a place to park myself. read more

Atmosphere- pizzeria inside a more retro chic (that Philadelphia station market) Location - next to train station Vibe - big food and beverage market like swanky food court Seating - maybe capacity of 25-30 Food - I had the pizza and it was average but very fresh and made to order the taste was a little bland but THAT crust was special Now if they had garlic powder or garlic salt that would have kicked it up But when I asked the guy about garlic .... He seemed insulted ‍ Hello Italy read more

Great place to grab food if you're stuck in Centrale! Lots of food options spanning from basic Italian breakfast to even my fave which is a juice shop that makes amazing avo toast! The upper level has ample seating for coworking with outlets! Perfect for the remote worker, or if you have a long wait while traveling. It can be hard to find a calm place in Centrale, and this comes pretty close! read more

Enjoyed tucking away into a table upstairs, especially with our luggage! Good selection of options - I really enjoyed my pesto gnocchi & focaccia. Looking forward to eating here again and trying something else on my way back to Milan. Good place to pass time waiting for your train and to use the bathroom before you board (of course after purchasing something). read more

Mercato Centrale Milano - Public Markets Near Me - Milan, Michigan

This is a market full of different food stalls/shops. Each appears to be run individually. Wide variety food and you can find something for any dietary restriction: vegan, gluten free, picky eaters (especially if you're looking for a picky traveling American who only wants simple American style food - there are American style burgers and bbq). About half of the items at the gelateria were dairy free and I'm confident some were vegan. Each area is operated separately so service varies. Most are very friendly but if you catch someone at the end of the day, I had a few people be a little short with me but I also don't speak the language. I can appreciate at 11 pm you might not have it in you to make chit chat with a tourist. Prices were all reasonable. 2 scoop gelato was €3.50, truffle pasta was €25 for an extreme amount of fresh truffle, pizza was about €4 for the amount pictured, and the vegan dumplings were maybe €7 but I think much less. Can't remember the price of the cannoli but I ate a lot of items from that stand and spent very little. Couple euro each at most. read more

My family and I came here for dinner and tried various stands. There's an upper level with more stands that's accessible to the public and has more seating if you can't find any tables on the first floor. Credit cards and cash accepted. There are free public restrooms available. They have the train timetables posted on the wall too so you can make sure you don't miss your train. They have lampredotto (cow stomach) and my dad really liked the plate. The calamari from the second level was nicely crispy but a tad too salty for our taste. The pastas my sister and I got (the truffle one and the carbonara) were both tasty and filling. read more

Excellent location next to the milan centrale location. I came in the morning before all the restaurants were open. The focaccia and cappuccino were well priced and amazing. I got the onion focaccia for 7 euros and it was flavorful. The cappuccino was perfectly steamed and frothy. Great place to wait for your next teain read more

Mercato Centrale is a fun, vibrant, cool place to eat. That doesn't make it good for food or prices. The stalls are all colorful and inviting with many chefs having their faces and books across the stalls. Just walk around and enjoy the sights and free samples but eat somewhere else. You'll pay too much for convenient but ultimately mediocre fast food pastas and other meals. The cacio e pepe was really thin, and the risotto was dense. Like I said, just skip it all and enjoy the bustling ambiance. read more

The Mercato Centrale in the Milan train station is a feast for the eyes. We were heading to Florence, and I thought to pickup a snack for the trip. Food stalls of everything Italian, pastries, bread, paninis, a butcher, wine and so much more.. When I saw the Arancini, I had to have one, two --- a prosciutto and mozzarella and a ragu. They were okay, but nothing like I've had in Southern Italy. Still, this market is a boon to travelers. 61 read more

The place itself is not ugly but most of the food is terrible and greasy. Tried food from 5 different restaurants to get an idea of what the food was like and everything was shining in grease. The pasta from one of the restaurants tasted disgusting. Recommended if you are in an extreme hurry while traveling near the train station if else don't go. But the staff is quite friendly. read more

The greatest benefits of this market are its location and convenience for variety in a central spot. I wouldn't say the food is the best I've had in the city, but the market was pretty decent and was close to where we were staying so I rate it high overall. The cappuccino and a few deserts we tried were very good. read more

During our stay in Milan we came to the Mercato Centrale for our morning coffee and perfunctory pistachio croissant. They were heavenly and we enjoyed them so much we came for a late night pizza after a day of trekking around the city, sightseeing. It was a small market but had a lot of variety of food stalls. read more

A must stop while you're at Milano Centrale! This food hall is tucked away on the edge of the station and it's a gem! The gyozo shop was delicious! And their homemade noodles were so yummy! I really enjoyed the juice I got at the juice stand. And the dessert stand was sooo yummy! Basically all the places I tried were delicious, and the others looked good too! They have such a great variety of cuisines! There is some seating across the place, so you can definitely plan to eat there. But it's also a great spot if you need to pick up some food before or after traveling. Honestly even if you're not at the train station, I'd recommend stopping here while you're in Milan. read more

This place was great. We ate here 3 times when we were in Milan as we stayed close to the train station. It's basically like a food hall where about 10-15 different shops sold their specialties. I particularly liked the pasta station in the middle where you chose what you wanted it was made fresh for you. Other places we would grab food from included a pizzeria, focaccia stand, gelato place, seafood / pasta stand. Also make sure you look upstairs as there are a few other places that sold food as well as revealed more seating... read more

Food court at Milano Centrale with lots of stands and options. Very convenient place to grab reasonably priced, decent food as you wait for your train to arrive. We ended up eating here twice during our trip to Italy. Ordered a meat and cheese plate. The prosciutto was delicious, but the burrata needed a sprinkle of salt. Also had a sandwich. Didn't love the bread (flavorless and dry), but good meat and cheese inside. read more
