Iginio Massari opens the first airport bistro with kitchen in Milan Linate

Iginio Massari Alta Pasticceria debuts at Milan Linate Airport with the first format "Coffee, Pastry and Bistro with Kitchen", developed together with Areas-MyChef and F Retail. The new location is located in the boarding area and brings for the first time to the airport context a proposal that combines pastry and coffee with a real bistro offer.

For passengers at Linate airport, the novelty is above all in the flexibility of the service: the restaurant is designed to accompany different times of the day and different times of stay at the airport, from a quick breakfast before departure to a business lunch, up to an aperitif or a longer break before boarding.

Pastry and cuisine in the same format
Pastry remains the heart of the brand's identity, but is flanked by a more structured savory proposal. The menu includes traditional Italian dishes and contemporary interpretations, with proposals such as the Risotto alla Milanese and the BLT Hamburger revisited by Iginio Massari.

The goal is to offer both a more relaxed experience with table service and solutions suitable for those who have little time. Sweet and savory, coffee and kitchen therefore coexist in the same space, expanding the opportunities for consumption compared to the traditional pastry format.

The proposal keeps the quality of raw materials, the care of preparations and service at the center, but is adapted to the specific needs of travel, where times, rhythms and methods of consumption can change rapidly.

A 290 sqm space in the boarding area
The new bistro occupies an area of 290 square meters and has 58 seats. The design of the spaces, developed with F Retail, integrates the area dedicated to pastry with that intended for catering in a single contemporary environment. The configuration has been designed to make the room usable for both a short stop and a full meal, with greater continuity between counter, table service and consumption of sweet and savory products. In addition, you can buy various products as gifts to take to your loved ones.

Linate opens the operational phase of the partnership
The opening represents the first concrete realization of the collaboration launched in 2025 between Iginio Massari Alta Pasticceria, Areas-MyChef and F Retail, born with the aim of developing the brand in the main places of Italian mobility. The partnership brings together different skills: Iginio Massari's gastronomic and pastry identity, Areas-MyChef's experience in catering and hospitality in travel venues and F Retail's know-how in the development of food formats. 

Milan Linate Airport thus becomes the first step in a project aimed specifically at travel retail, with the aim of intercepting a national and international audience within one of the airports most directly connected to the centre of Milan. For SEA Milan Airports, the new bistro further expands the food & beverage offer dedicated to Linate passengers, introducing a format that combines pastry, Italian cuisine and service in a single pre-flight experience. And, for the occasion, Luigi Battuello, Chief Commercial Officer of SEA Milan Airports, said: "We are particularly pleased to host a brand that is a symbol of quality and prestige, with a contemporary format capable of making the offer dedicated to our passengers even richer and more distinctive".
