The new covered market that will make us love the Milan Central Station – Italian Cuisine

The new covered market that will make us love the Milan Central Station


The Central Market project that will change Milan's Central Station in the wake of the successes of Florence and Rome

Who has been to the Central Market of Florence knows it, the station can become a place to stop, refresh yourself before and after a train journey, but also a final destination. Who does not have to leave, can go to the station to buy, taste and make an appointment with someone in front of a good dish. The project inaugurated in 2014 in the city of art has opened up new possibilities for the use of a place otherwise relegated to the function of running and escape.
The good news is that even a difficult station, mistreated and too often marginalized like that of Milan is about to experience a new rosy period made of food, smiles and excellent products. On the wave of the success of the first experiment in Florence and the successful second in 2016 in Rome (which we see in the photo below) the Central Market will also open on 13 April in Turin at Porta Palazzo and by the end of the year at Milan Central Station.

"Much more, therefore, than a place to eat and do the shopping – he declares Umberto Montano, creator and President of Mercato Centrale – Central Market is a place of destination, where food and culture come together in a perfect union capable of generating a strong phenomenon of social aggregation and realizing real regeneration projects in the urban fabric within which it fits .
The market area, which is currently still a construction site, is located on the left side of the Central Station (in correspondence with the shuttle departure area for Malpensa). The structure, of around 4,400 square meters and spread over two floors, will host over 20 artisans of taste with the best gastronomic offer of the local, regional and national territory. Currently the names of restaurateurs and producers who will enliven the space have not yet been announced, but we can imagine, following the model of the Central Market of Florence and Rome, that here we will be able to find regional specialties, excellent artisan products and … some creative inspiration.
