If you are an ordinary mortal, and therefore you are not equipped with one of those arrow cards that magically opens the doors of the homonymous lounges that have taken the place of the old and spartan waiting rooms, until recently it was not easy, in the station central a Milan, find a place to wait for the train. The alternatives boiled down to standing in front of the departures board or on the platform or, in case of blatant luck, one could hope to find a seat in that single row of chairs that runs parallel to the futuristic moving walkways rising from the street level. to that of the tracks.
Luckily now, at the Feltrinelli bookshop - whose 'sitting room', complete with the possibility of reading, is always a valid option! - to join in this rescue work of us poor customers, there is the Central bistro.
One eye on design and one on ecology - open workshops, seats made from pallets - elegant, without awe, open from the 6 22, multi-ethnic staff: this is central Bistrot.
At the entrance a sign explaining how it works:
1.Choose with your eyes and decide with your heart
2.order at the checkout
3.Pick up your tray or choose to take away
4. good appetite
To choose, just wander around the shelves and trolleys - which do so much industry - on which pre-packaged biscuits and cakes, jars of jam and chocolate spreads, but also bottles of oil, balsamic vinegar and artisanal pasta are lined up; or indicate through the glass of the counter the baked goods: sweet and savory brioches, fresh fruit tarts, pizzas and sandwiches.
Keep in mind the Neapolitan coffee, made with the cuccuma where the water does not rise but falls, what 80 cents.
Try the restaurant area or the wine bar on your next trip.
