Even though we really didn't need to leave so early, we decided to head to the airport at around 6AM for our 8:05AM flight. We had naturally woken up quite early, and figured we might as well go to the lounge and have coffee rather than stay in our room any longer, given that everything…

The lounge wasn't renovated, it had smoke damage from the fire at FCO last year.
I flew BA out of FCO a week after the fire last year and they were using the Alitalia/ Skyteam lounge temporarily which was much nicer- larger and more modern.
I flew Rome - Vienna today, spent 3 hours in the Alitalia Lounge in Terminal C, D section, which is open to Star Alliance Gold (when they fly Lufthansa or Austrian). While the waiters were friendly, it was terrible all in all... Really small, really crowded, and only a very limited selection of food during lunch time - and that very small area of the lounge was always crowded. Hated the whole experience. Please consider reviewing toilets also when reviewing Lounges, Lucky! Today in my lounge, there was basically always someone waiting, because there are only two flush toilets for men and nothing more!!
I can confirm that the BA lounge has been recently "renovated", in the sense that it took a large brunt of the damage from the fire at the airport in 2015 and had to be refurbished. It was closed when we flew out of FCO in July of last year. It was annoying that BA provided no alternative arrangements until they could re-open their own lounge. Thank goodness I have PP and could use the Le Anfore lounge, which frankly looks better than the BA lounge, anyway.
What's with the "eligibility" for this lounge? Club Europe, BAEC Gold travelling on OW seems fine... then Silver/OWE/OWS travelling only on BA?
I'll also be departing FCO in Nov on BA 551..
BA763...
I've had better buffets in ex soviet states, than what was represented here..
Glad to have PP thru CSR....
Hello, I would like to share my visit to business launch in FCO airport Rome. On April 4, I returned UIA from Rome to Kiev PS 0308. Me and my wife had businessclass tickets (Dmitry IvanovPanorama Club 1000158084, Irina Kravchrenko). After the passport control we were not allowed to stay in the business lounge (as usually partnership of UIA the business lounge British Airways). Representative in the business lounge checked our ticket, phoned the front Desk and then said that we had no invitation it was in her room, she's not interested in that we are businessclass tickets, refused to show her badge (said badge at all not her), refused to be presented (photo in attachment). At our request to visit toiler she promised to call the police if we will not get out of the launch. Similarly, she didn't let another couple from our flight to stay at the lounge. Could you, please,explain the situation for me as frequent business flyer? Best regards, Dmitry Ivanov Dmitri D. Ivanov, MD, profProfessor in NephrologyHead of Nephrology and RRT DEPP. L.

Although it's a limited selection, I found it to be pretty much what hotels I have stayed at in Italy present for breakfast buffets. Fruit, yogurt, cereals, meat cheese and rolls
Nice lounge..it’s way too warm and they need to change the beer glass. A few with chip off on top. Before someone cut their lips. I am not a regular but see that’s dangerous.
