This guide intends to shed light on a very useful service for travelers by going into detail and you will see when to eat on Trenitalia trains. Specifically, we will see which catering services are active and which the traveler can use. In which specific carriages and what does each one entail.

Catering on board: When to eat on board

Choosing when and whether to use the catering services on board Trenitalia is up to the customer. Travelers who prefer not to use the service are often those who travel short distances or in any case when the duration of the journey is incompatible with a leisurely meal. Travelers traveling on long journeys can use the restaurant service with due calm, so as to enjoy their meal. These precautions are obviously personal and in fact many travelers choose the service if they travel during lunch or dinner times. In these cases it will always be convenient to take advantage of the advantage of a cooked and fresh meal.

The catering services on board

There are many catering services on board Trenitalia carriages. For greater convenience for the passenger, it is a good idea for them to also know them well by contacting their customer service and asking for all the relevant information. On Frecciargento and Frecciarossa trains, whether traveling in Business or Premium, Trenitalia has re-established the Welcome Drink. This consists of a sweet or savory snack and a selection of drinks to choose from. This service is also active with packages dedicated to young travellers. Itinere's Executive service can be enjoyed at any time of the day; this service consists of fine wines, high quality craft beers and gourmet dishes selectable from an à la carte menu. It also includes signature dishes signed by Cracco, all with the convenience of not having to move from your seat.

Can you eat your own food?

During a journey, whether long or short, you are allowed to eat your own food. There are no prohibitions that prevent a traveler from feeding himself with his own food inside Trenitalia train carriages, some passengers therefore choose to bring packed or specially prepared food for the journey; this obviously always respecting the other passengers, especially in these times of Covid19. By remaining seated in your seat, you can eat your meal in total safety: the Trenitalia carriages are well ventilated and allow you to eat in absolute safety and tranquility.

A great advantage

The catering on board Trenitalia trains is a great advantage for the traveler who will be able to enjoy excellent dishes without having to worry about it in person; this is an undoubted advantage which translates into the possibility of choosing what to eat almost like in a restaurant, of being able to enjoy the journey by indulging in the pleasure of a good meal.

Another convenient factor will be that of not having to take on extra weight to carry food prepared as needed for the trip and will relieve the customer from the inconvenience of having to prepare it himself, precisely before departure. It will allow you to eat hot dishes freshly prepared directly on the train and get off at the arrival station ready to visit the city, go to a work appointment or return to your home without having to worry about lunch or dinner.
