Nice rest stop, a bit of a maze, very clean bathrooms. Often the bathroom attendant will subtly jingle some coins, to ask for some money. If you have extra, share it, if not don't feel compelled to. I normally act aloof and pretend I didn't notice, the thing is I can afford to share but rarely have small coins, so if I give it to bathroom person then I can't buy a café with it. This means I am forced to break a 50 and that means I am starting a war with a barista. So in conclusion pick your battles.

Awesome

The food was good for a service station and unlike seemingly every other public toilet in Italy, it had toilet seats and was clean! Although I had to use the access toilet as the main ones were being cleaned so don't build your hopes up too much the main toilets may not have seats..staff seemed friendly also.

One of the best crossaints and vegan burgers I've ever had, in a service station of all places. However it was a little chaotic inside with people not really knowing how to queue.
