Poldino Cafè In Carpi

An unexpectedly nice stop, right behind a gas station. Almost invisible, it allowed my colleague and I to enjoy some peace and quiet after a long day at work. The place has several outdoor tables, most inside a glass-enclosed room (where smoking is also permitted, should you need it). A cool space despite the heat, excellent sandwiches at a good price. Cold drinks. The restroom is unisex, but very clean. The staff are friendly and very helpful, and they don't rush you if you linger and don't order. We spent two blissful hours until closing, then we were able to stay in the parking lot and calmly wait for our colleagues. After a stressful day, it was a place to relax.

There's room for improvement, as the quality of the aperitif has been a bit lacking lately.

Eating at a gas station is not my cup of tea... Otherwise, fine.

Bar open early in the morning, vast assortment of varied food
