snack bar Chiara di Benedetti S.A.S In Massarosa

A very nice and well-run small wine shop, with a wide selection of wines. I stopped for an aperitif and drank good wine. The platter of very good, high-quality cured meats was excellent.

Excellent location off the highway, with convenient parking. Excellent breakfast: truly top-quality cappuccino and croissant. A receipt was provided (no small feat in Italy). Five stars, if not for one unintentionally "cringe" episode. In the bathroom, I found a sign encouraging proper use of the facilities, indicating that use is "monitored by staff." I don't like these kinds of notices; they're unwelcoming. As I was leaving, I saw (I think it was a pure coincidence) a staff member actually enter the bathroom. It left me feeling uneasy; I hope it was my impression, but... the message of care could have been phrased in a more hospitable way, commensurate with the quality of the breakfast.
