Mercato Centrale Milano

Mercato Centrale is located inside Milan’s Central Train station. The market offers a vast array of options from Italian to international cuisine. It’s really busy between 1pm and 2:30pm when the locals come for lunch among all the curious tourists. A must visit destination for foodies. To access the public toilets you must scan the QR code on the receipt from your purchase at one of the restaurants at the market.

Long hall with a massive variety of food and drinks literally attached to the cental train station. Take out, eat in, you have options. Music playing in the background kicks it up a notch. Really enjoyed it. Even bought food from 2 different places and a beer on tap from the specialty bar!

An incredible spot to immerse yourself in the beauty and flavors of Italian cuisine. The food is outstanding, offering an authentic taste of Italy. However, finding a seat can be quite challenging, which is why I’m giving it a 4-star rating. It’s a fantastic experience, but be prepared for a bit of a wait if you want to sit comfortably.

An indoor food market located inside Milan's central station and offering a wide variety of excellent food from morning until evening. Meat, Asian, Italian, seafood, sweet, savory and lots of seating in a super fun atmosphere

Awesome variety of food and drinks in a distended ambient with an artistic look of street art. Quality of the food was great, cleanliness perfect. Close to Milano Central Train Station.

This is a great place to shop if you are in an AirB&B close by. We had lunch here and it was very good. There are several places inside to eat. 2 floors and 32 stores.

A stunningly beautiful place. Mostly food stalls. Very clean and tidy. The prices are very high even compared to Milan. It seems that the place is mainly aimed at tourists. There is no doubt that this is a must-see place in Milan. I only lowered the rating because of the high prices.

Great selection of different food here! Great vibe. I don’t know if I couldn’t see it but I really wanted gelato and couldn’t find it which was weird. Most meals around 15 euro. I paid 5.50 euro for a Nutella doughnut. Little pricey but probably expected. Worth a visit.

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!

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.

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

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.

Mercato Centrale! So nice, we ate here twice! Great service, really amazing selection of food & wine , and all for a good price. It was also walking distance to our hotel and the train station. Be back soon!

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?

Mercato Centrale Milano offers a fantastic variety of foods, all reasonably priced for the quality and experience you get. Whether you're craving classic Italian pasta, pizza, or unique dishes like empanadas or BBQ, you won't be disappointed. Every bite is rich in flavor, and the staff throughout the market and train station are welcoming and helpful. The value here is unbeatable--perfect for travelers who want to enjoy authentic Italian cuisine without breaking the bank. Can't wait to return and explore 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).

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.

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

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!

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.

Loved this place! It's pretty much a Food Hall and features all types of restaurants. I ate some carbonara that was beyond delicious! Had fried chicken and it was seasoned well! Desserts were also yummy!

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.

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.

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.

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

Highly recommended stopping by this Central Market the have everything you can imagine from from fresh seafood to American style smash burgers. But don't forget the Italian food offerings it's the whole reason to be in Milan to begin with with.

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...

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.

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.

Easy to order very conveniently located . Lots of different options and you can take the food to the wine bar or other places within the location to eat and drink . I like the quality even though it's on the pricier side for what you get .

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.
