Autogrill Stradella Sud — Restaurant in Stradella

We stopped here quite spontaneously, as our two-year-old urgently needed a break, and we were pleasantly surprised by the facilities. The children’s rest area was especially thoughtful, with a mini-toilet designed for the youngest visitors – a detail that parents really appreciate.

The toilets for adults, however, could use more frequent cleaning. The cubicle walls had visible traces of dirty hands and even some stains that looked like blood. Of course, visitors are not always careful or tidy, but perhaps more regular checks and a quick wipe-down during busy hours could raise the standards to match the otherwise good impression of the place.

The restaurant offered a wide range of options, including a children’s menu. Our child especially enjoyed the modern little toy (a Stitch figure) that came with the meal. The portions were very generous – big enough for two people to share – and the staff was kind enough to provide extra plates and cutlery without hesitation. That level of friendliness really added to the experience.

One small point of confusion came with the menu photos. The picture advertised a savory salad (with mozzarella, tomatoes, and olives), but when ordering the meal set, only a fruit salad was available. Even the staff seemed unsure and tried to clarify what was actually included. In the end, they kindly offered a sweet dessert with the coffee instead – which was a nice gesture, but a bit inconsistent with the images. Perhaps this is more of a marketing decision from the central office than the fault of the local staff.

On the positive side, the coffee was excellent – as always in Italy – and the shop next to the restaurant had a fantastic selection of local specialties. From liqueurs to bulk coffee packs (60 or 100 capsules), the variety was impressive. I personally would have loved the chance to sample a blend before purchasing such a large box, but perhaps that option is more common for locals who already know the products rather than tourists passing by.

Overall, this was a convenient and pleasant stop with friendly service, great food, thoughtful facilities for children, and only a few details that could be improved to make it truly...

2 stars because they tried again to cheat me with the change. This time a very corpulent Lady with glasses 11.70€ Costa for Foccacia and Coke. I gave her 100.70€. She gave me 80.40 back????. The caisse showed her what she have to give back. As I told her, she reacted exactlay like caught. But even then she tried it again. She took the 0.40 back and gave me 5€ in coins. As I Gave her 1 € back she knewed exactly that she have to give me 5€ more. Not the first time this happens in Autogrill italy and the second time in this one. Very disappointing. Feeling.good on the move Is the motto. But not like this.
