We called in to Reggio for Fuel. 2 years ago we had a fairly awful experience where we had to wait around for fuel for hours.
This time things were much better. We landed, had to wait 5 minutes for the "follow me" vehicle (which we did not need) for the 50 meter taxi to the AvGas area. We were promptly seen and fuel was reasonable at Euro 3.29 for the area where there is not much Avgas and it can be at shockingly high prices. The fueller and Avia Partner were friendly and helpful. We popped into the terminal for a coffee and a snack
This was a fuel stop and we departed within a couple of hours but could have departed within 1 hour if we had not had not popped into the Cafe
