Autogrill Arda

Lots of food and drink for your road trip or tour bus. Not so good for restrooms. The cleaning lady entered the men’s room at the same time I did, so that rendered the 10 or so urinals unusable when time was tight. The commode was in a tiny, disgusting closet – absolutely gross. Also, whoever designed these Autogrills is obviously a man with no understanding of a woman’s restroom needs. The women’s room is always much too small, with a line winding around into the hallway whenever we make a stop. This one was no exception.
On the other hand, this spot has a good variety of fresh food, lots of drinks, chocolates, cookies, electronic accessories, and other merchandise. No Big Gulps, but otherwise this place and all of the other Autogrills beat 7 – 11 hands down in terms of sheer variety. The deli/​restaurant actually makes really good quality food. Now, just fix that restroom thing so it’s more efficient, and I’ll really be a fan of these road stops.
