On a long day of travel, I love having a chance to eat and unwind for a bit in a lounge…read more I found the Plaza Premium Lounge after checking on my airline's app. At the desk, the receptionist said that my ticket didn't include access, but she offered to let me buy a day pass. The price was reasonable, so I made my way in and found a comfy chair to sit in. The food selection was alright - it was fresh, but I missed some of the variety that I've found at other lounges. Seating was adequate and included an array of different seats (tables, easy chairs, working nooks). Showers were available (I don't take one), and bathrooms were clean. It's nice to relax pre-flight in a place that is not as hectic as the general concourse, and Plaza Premium was just the place to do so on our last trip.

Consequently it gets very busy, and can be difficult to find seats together, especially as some sections get roped off for use solely by Emirates or Etihad passengers. The food is decent, but not worth the price if you were to pay for admission. There is a selection of cold soft drinks and a couple of coffee machines that always seemed to have a line up waiting to use. All alcohol is a an additional charge, and not cheap. Typically around €14 a glass of wine or pint of beer.

Granted, this is a free lounge with the Priority Pass, but it is probably one of the most mediocre airport lounges I have been to. Don't get me wrong, I would come here again if I flew out of Terminal 3 area D because I would get in for free, and I love my free stu. However, it is just a notch higher than a general waiting area with the added drinks and food.

Lavazza is a chain (very famous one in Italy)…read more Any coffee in Italy is near perfection, like I said in my other reviews - I'm yet to find a bad cup of coffee anywhere, not that I'm searching =) There's a selection of croissants, muffins, doughnuts and other classics - it may not be anything special, but it suffice! Not particularly a gourmet stop, but hey, what do you expect at the airport? Besides, Fiumicino is huge and full of coffee shops and food kiosks, one can easily find whatever their soul desires. On to the next one!

I thought it was fine-to-good and honestly it's super rare that I've been impressed with an airport…read morelounge experience in a long while so I really can't knock anything here too much even if it's not perfect. Prima Vista at Terminal 3 is a pretty decent Priority Pass lounge. It also servers as the American Airlines lounge for status/business class travelers (and possibly other airlines). The big knock I have is that it was a little hot inside when we went and it was very full, although we did find a seat with only minimal waiting. Instead of being self-service, the drinks (including soda) are bar service - albeit still free. This was a minor annoyance but in practice it never took much time to get anything, even with the place being very full. The food was a real highlight though - it's a limited selection of meat, cheese, pasta, and some focaccia breads but everything I tried was really quite good for airport lounge food. Still, don't come here planning to find your main meal unless you happen to be after what they have on offer. The food was tasty but it's a small selection of items. The location is also pretty good for those traveling to the US as it's much closer to the gates than any other lounge in the airport.

All the private chairs were taken. There was an ok selection of hot entrees (pesto pasta, tomato pasta, grilled fish & sautéed veggies). They offered complimentary bottled water, made to order espresso drinks and cocktails. My drinks (cortado & mimosa) were good. Restrooms were clean. Staff was friendly.

To get here you have to go upstairs to the gate area, then down the central escalators, walk to the…read morerestroom area, then go back upstairs. There are a some hot foods. They keep fruit and yogurt behind a glass case. You have to ask for those items. Plus, you have to ask for a glass of water. That's kept behind the counter, too. Bad chairs. They are worn and completely deflated. When you sit the arms of the chairs practically touch your shoulders because you are so low. When you log in to get WiFi access, a page asks you to fill out a survey BEFOREHAND. Of course that means that unless you have mobile data, you CAN'T fill it out. Luckily I did, and one of the questions was how WiFi access is. I can't make this up. First world problem, I know. They do make a mean Lavazza cappuccino though.

Quite possibly the worst upper class lounge I have had the pleasure of visiting…read more Bottled water - as much as you like. Food? Get in line to walk past some sad cafeteria style plastic covered plates to place an order for some thing that resembles food on those plates. Oh, you think this is made to order? Absolutely not. "American breakfast". - cold and I mean straight out of fridge scrambled style egg with some spinach and cold mushrooms. Something that resembles bacon, but again questionable. Extremely disappointed. Sorry but when traveling upper class, the fee of the ticket covers an amenity of a lounge with small plates (or large), some kind of snack and lots of drinks that should be poured endlessly. The poor guy behind this counter was charged with serving both coffee / espresso drinks, juice, milk and booze. This is definitely not "happy hour". This lounge services the Star Alliance group out of Terminal 1 which I believe in this terminal comprises Lufthansa, Austrian, and SwissAir

I spent a few hours here at the newly renovated Star Alliance Lounge by D5. It's nice. The…read morebreakfast was decent and the lunch was filled with salad, meats, cheese, toasted bread, freshly made pizza and Italian soup. I liked the variety. Breakfast had scrambled eggs and bacon along with prosciutto. They make very strong coffee behind the bar. I think this was a terrible lounge before the renovation. Now all fixed up and it's very neat to see that the review has not reflected the update. I would rate this higher than most of the lounges I've been too, considering how new and less crowded it is. At lunch time families start to show up with little kids and it does get very crowded and noisy. As a business traveler with two teenage kids, I understand the concept of raising children, but now that I'm older and have kids who are quiet as mouse, I can't stand the noise as it's difficult to work. That's the only complaint about this lounge. They should have a quiet area and one for work area. But then again, not everyone can get into Polaris lounge where it does not allow family unless you all travel in business class, which we did.

Wifi worked great, the seating areas were comfortable, and the bathroom was notably small with two stalls and a shower but it was very clean.

Bottled water is also grab and go, so it's convenient to take whenever you needed. They also have flight status boards so you can keep track of your flight. It makes waiting to board so much easier and comfortable. The staff is also friendly and constantly cleaning tables and refilling the food.

A four hour layover and it was well worth burning one of my ten annual Priority Pass entries for this. The lounge is clean, quiet and peaceful. There wasn't a spot to have a nap which was a bummer but I still found a "work desk" area where I could charge up phone and laptop to start writing Yelp reviews from Rome and Napoli. Great snacks and drinks available here and the wifi worked well. I was almost sad to be on my way, but it was Delta One so it wasn't that bad. [Review 19257 overall - 405 in Italy - 227 of 2023.]

Lots of seating and dining options including some surprisingly inexpensive choices. I got a plate of sliced porchetta, just the meat, for just over €5. Very satisfying. The environment in T3, especially the upper dining floor, is cool, airy with lots of space, and surprisingly subdued in tone despite the volume of people. Relaxing, even! It's a little nerve wracking that the gates are announced so late, 30-45 minutes before boarding, but it's not much of a gauntlet to get to one's gate. T1 and T3 are easily accessible from the train. If you're looking for a last minute postcard drop, there are mailboxes inside T1 at the main departures level, just ask the person at the info booth. Check-in both times went smoothly and the service was courteous. Would appreciate this kind of service in North America. You can given bring up to 2L of liquids through security, gasp! Great airport. Can't wait to visit again!
