Autogrill Monte Alto Nord — Restaurant in Desenzano del Garda

Not friendly for tourists. the story- We stopped to get coffee and my mum asked for a cappuccino and then the lady said regular so my mum said yes. (You would assume its small, regular, large). And when my mum got the coffee it was an expresso shot?? But this wasn't the main problem. When she asked why it was small and repeated what she ordered the man got mad and said this counter is where you order coffee and the other counter was for cappuccino??? This was confusing as there were no signs to tell us. And why did the lady not tell my mum at the beginning when she was paying. Yes we could have wondered ourselves why it was so cheap and asked again whilst paying but my mum didnt question it. He then did fill the cup with a tiny bit more water but it was still practically an expresso shot. So basically the complaint is that the staff should be more clear about where to get what and not yell at their customers. In the end we just left because we are traveling and are on the road...

Before getting home and crossing the border we wanted to get some salami and olive oil.

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...

Terrible place to stop. Extremely expensive and people are treaded as objects. All the Autogrill that I stopped from Milan to Venice and back have been a disapointment. Food and coffee quality terrible and prices very high. I have been treated as a thief cos I was waiting for my wife comming out of the bath room. Employees should understand that if they are thiefs not everyone else is like them. We are to blame for the constant increase in prices since we keep on buying and paying high prices for cheap food. Try and carry what you need with you. Fill your tank and eat before travelling. Once they get back to decent prices we might consider using them again. I will do so...
