This review is actually for the Venchi that is in the area AFTER you pass ticket checks, where the…read moretrains are waiting. Whoever decided to keep a gelateria near the train boarding area was ridiculously smart---I mean, ice cream helps travel-related crankiness SO much. I've had Venchi many times before (especially after trips around Italy and having Centrale be my return station) and even if it is relatively pricey (3.20€ for a small cup), it's still creamy and delicious! I tried "brutto e bella" this time around and loved the hazelnut pieces mixed in with creamy chocolate. Normally I'm an anything-but-chocolate kinda gal, but I was definitely in love with this flavor. If you are feeling burdened and exhausted by travel, do yourself a favor and get a scoop as a pick me up next time you roll through Centrale Station!!

This was the best thing in the train station. The gelato tasted great and very fruity. I added…read morethe chocolate in my cone, which was an awesome treat. I ate more fruity instead of milky as not to trigger my intolerance to milk products. It was a good strategy, especially with a very creamy pistachio I had earlier in the trip. Although I wanted it, but being on this trip, I had to throw it away or suffer consequences.

Awesome place to get some espresso fix. Its the thing. Morning commuters flock to places like…read morehere to get some coffee and bite to eat. I got the matcha tiramisu which was advertised at the outside corner. It looked awesome. Actual one inside the paper cup, nah. Need to come back and try other things. Cannoncini looks very good and at awesome price.

Lively isn't halfway describing this place, madhouse is more like it! You start at the kiosk and you don't pick your flavors of gelato, just the type. Then you wait in line for them to call your number and people are jumping in front of you as though that will get their number called first (spoiler alert: it doesn't). But it is quite hectic and if you ordered cake too, that's at a separate counter and takes a crazy amount of time for a piece of semi-dry cake. The gelato itself is very good, it's just small for the price and the wait.

Here you can get simple drink, some spritz, some desserts, gelato to full sandwiches. You eat, drink and hang out however you like.

Overall, an excellent experience and was nice even after a full meal at Cracco across the hall.

My go to is tiramisu and coconut and I do splurge the extra 1€ to get the cone top filled with melted chocolate. On this trip to Italy I skipped lunch and enjoyed this treat and sat in the piazza to relax and watch the people. The shop is smaller but service is professional and quick. There is a lot of temptation to also purchase a variety of chocolate pieces/bars. Do yourself a favor and give in. You will do enough walking to justify it.

It can be a little chaotic to get your order in and they probably could find a better way to do it, but if you're patient, you'll be rewarded with the most delicious drinking chocolate.
