Do Italian trains have tables?

Seat Numbering On some train cars, many of the seats are facing each other, with a small table in between. Ticket vendors assume that, for instance, a couple traveling together will want to sit across from one another.



Yes, most medium and long-distance Italian trains, such as the Frecciarossa (Trenitalia) and Italo, feature tables at many of the seats. In high-speed trains, you will typically find two configurations: "Vis-à-vis" seating, where four passengers face each other across a large fixed table, and airline-style seating, where a fold-down tray table is attached to the back of the seat in front of you. In premium classes like Business, Executive, or Club, the tables are often larger and may include integrated power outlets and cup holders. Regional trains (Regionale) are less consistent; while newer Pop and Rock trains often have small tables or trays, older commuter carriages may lack them entirely.
