'Vagone ristorante' (restaurant car) is the standard Italian term. 'C'è' (is there) + 'su questo treno' (on this train) specifies which train. Italian high-speed trains have a bar car where hot and cold food is served. The full dining car is less common on modern trains.

Trenitalia's Frecciarossa high-speed trains have a bar carriage (carrozza bar) serving coffee, sandwiches, pasta, and drinks. Business and Executive class passengers can order food brought to their seat. First class tickets often include a welcome drink. On regional trains, there is usually no food service.
