Autogrill is what they call the majority of their rest stops. You can find one every half an hour on the interstate or so if memory serves me correctly. I have never seen a rest stop like this. It's spacious and even feels luxurious. They have a restaurant, they have a bakery, they make the food in front of you. Heck, the pasta I had was probably one of the best I've had in awhile. They, too, have bathrooms and even showers. More so, they have a store for food, souvenirs, and the like. Mamma mia! I want to take another road trip in Italy now just remembering this glorious place.

Before getting home and crossing the border we wanted to get some salami and olive oil…read more We've shopped before at Autogrill. That might appear strange at first or something only tourists would do (well....we are). But the prices are really low on olive oil. But not just that....the quality is high as well. Nothing compared to the standard cheap olive oil we get at home. For a lot higher prices. We bought two huge salami, 6 bottles of extra virgin olive oil (organic, 1 Litre each) and two cans of three-litre extra virgin olive oil. All great stuff and very enjoyable. Especially the organic oil is tasty for cooking, salad or as a topping on any food (like steak tartar). As usual we were very happy with our purchases and will shop at Autogrill again. This one here was a smaller branch, but got everything we wanted.

The food was absolutely wonderful, and the ambiance had a warm, festive vibe that made the experience even better. I'd return in a heartbeat. Saluti
