Power outlets at the shared tables make WorkEat the laptop stop
Airside in T1’s boarding lounge food court, WorkEat runs roughly 05:00–22:00, so it covers almost all departures out of Turin. It’s set up for people who want to eat while working: long shared tables sit right by the gates, and reviews call out “plenty of plugs around the seating.” If you’ve got emails to clear before a 07:30 flight, this is one of the few spots where you can plug in and stay near your boarding area.
Menu is basic but practical: quick pasta plates, simple salads, and grab‑and‑go items in the display fridge. Prices sit in the mid‑range ($$ for airport standards), and several reviews mention that portions feel small for what you pay. Regulars often grab cold dishes or pre‑made sandwiches so they can be eating in under five minutes instead of waiting for hot pasta.
The seating zone is in the main boarding lounge cluster, so you’re in full view of the Schengen gates and departure screens for T1. Wi‑Fi in this area covers the WorkEat tables, and frequent flyers talk about “camping here with a laptop between flights” while staying close to their gate calls. If you’ve got a 90‑minute layover, this is enough time for a salad, a coffee, and a work sprint without roaming the rest of the terminal.
Watch out for: the shared tables fill up fast in the morning bank (around 06:30–09:00) and again in the early evening wave, so finding a seat with a socket can be a pain. Expect smaller bowls of pasta than you’d get in town, and factor that into your order if you’re arriving after a long‑haul connection into Turin.
Smart move: on arrival at the food court, claim a plug seat first, then send someone from your group to queue at WorkEat for salads or pre‑made items so you’re not hunting for power with a full tray in hand.
