These questions were the starting point for the “Barista Bootcamp”, a three-day session for Autogrill’s top 10 bartenders in Italy, who met to work out innovative ideas following a design-thinking activity co-ordinated by the Digital Academy team - Italy’s first entirely digital school.

The group splitted in two teams to share and develop new ideas, that were later shared on a web-based platform and voted. The winning team will have the possibility of seeing one of their proposals implemented in 2016 and contribute to adding value to the company.

The new store is the Puro Gusto atTerminal 1 and is characterized by a massive central bar that’s ideal for breakfast/lunch or a quick snack, as well as seating for around 40 to enjoy a more relaxed break.

Last Tuesday the Group inaugurated two new restaurants at the german airport of Munich : the champaign, wine & seafood restaurant Bubbles and the italian cuisine inspired Amò.
 

Autogrill opens for the first time in the motorway channel its Bistrot concept, which was developed in collaboration with the University of Gastronomic Science (UNISG) in Pollenzo and reflects the evolution of food culture by privileging local Italian products and the recovery of craft techniques.

Centrally located, with an entrance from platform 1, the store stretches along an area of over 120 square meters with the counter in plain view, tables and over 25 seats available. The heart of the offerings is represented by the cafeteria, which besides the Italian espresso, it serves also a selection of specialty coffees. The wide choice of café is accompanied by a gastronomic proposal conceived to meet any moment of the day.

In the kitchen, tradition often means healthy habits, however this is also inventiveness or the courage to experiment new paths and combinations that determine the success of a chef, a restaurant or a foodservice philosophy. If it’s true that food is life and culture, then gastronomic innovation is freedom. These themes were discussed by some of the biggest names in Italian and international cuisine at the 12^th Identità Golose Convention held in Milan from 6 to 8 March.

 A few months after the opening of the Bistrot Geneva Airport, Autogrill brings into the the swiss airport a new high quality and foodie concept, Le Chef, developed in partnership with the young celebrity chef Benjamin Luzuy, very well-known in Switzerland, and especially in the Geneva area.

In these two locations, the concept developed by the Group to celebrate the cuisine and specialities of Italy appears with a completely new look and offers travellers an even more authentic experience in perfect Italian style.
