This place is bigger than Conad grocery but way busier with more customers. They have more selection in comparison but for me I'm okay just going to the latter for a quieter Grocery shopping experience. read more

It was much larger than a Conad and very similar to an American market except their offerings are much more interesting. I was in love with the vast yogurt selection. Picked up some Pistacchio Yogurt for breakfast and it was delicious! They also had fresh fruit for decent prices and plenty of food souvenirs to take home. I found a box of Ferrero's Pocket Expresso that I've been searching for and some juices. Plenty of locals shop here as I didn't see too many tourists. Bonus: You can also buy bus tickets here!

Limited seating, but we were there around lunch hour 1pm, and we were the only people in the store. I think we dealt with the owner who despite not speaking english was very nice and accommodating. The store was very clean and appealing. We just guessed and got a cotto e fontina panini, along with one coke, some marinated artichokes, and sun dried tomatoes. All for 9 euro. The artichokes and sun dries tomatoes were so good my eyes rolled to the back of my head and made me question my fidelity. I thought about going to confession after lunch. Great for lunch or take away. One of the best finds in our trip.

From MSG to flaxseed, from frozen potstickers to peruvian flan, this is a bunch of assorted worlds crammed up in a tiny little place of Florence heaven filling you with endorphins as you just keep finding treasures and discovering foods you thought you'd never find here in Firenzi Eeetaly. A good place if you're feeling adventurous, or homesick. And everything is organized by country/continent! Prices however, will be a lot more than what they cost in their countries of origin. Such as €4 for a regular carton of cranberry juice. But so worth it. This is definitely one of the biggest and if not, most varied foreign food store in the center. (Trust me, Scott and I went on a 3-day mission to find ginger ale so we visited almost every foreign market ha ha). (No... they don't have ginger ale here).

The vegetables are fresh picked - you can smell the earth- and about 1/ 3 the price of central Florence. The place is busy. Lots of locals. Inside are local goods, meat, poultry, cheese, and fish. You can't get any fresher. Olive oils and many other DTLA acids inside. Outside there are clothing vendors, farmers, plant sellers, jewelry and antiques. I highly recommend stopping by to get a local feel. Check times.

There are fewer crowds here, probably because of its location, which makes it a prime spot for food tours. We didn't do one but we just wandered around ourselves. There are fewer options here than Mercato Centrale but the trade off is that you don't have to deal with all the people. They sell a lot of the same stuff - fresh produce, meats, and some vendors selling food. We tried the tripe sandwich here, which wasn't as good as the other market, but still delicious. We also bought some strawberries outside, which might have been some of the best strawberries I've ever eaten in my life, so definitely don't sleep on those. Mercato di Sant'Ambrogio is worth the trek!

A hidden gem in Firenze. A quaint meat and cheese shop, offering small bites and sandwiches…read more Alessandro the owner was so kind and welcoming. He recommended a meat and cheese board with some vino that was absolutely divine. I don't think I've ever had such a delicious and fresh off the bone charcuterie as I did today. He sat with us while we snacked sharing with us his family history and 3 generations of business, since 1924. Such a kind soul. I hope his business lasts lifetimes more. It truly is such a special place. Can't wait to get back. Highly recommend. No crowds either.

The family/staff that owns the market and restaurant was so sweet. We stopped by for a lunch and ordered anything they recommended. They were extremely attentive and wanted us to have the best experience. We had the Ribollita and their charcuterie board for 2. It was such a treat! I've never had Ribollita before then, but it tasted so fresh and homey. It was as if a family had invited you to their home for a meal. The eating space is a tiny, so if you find an open table definitely try to grab a bite there! The walls are also littered with post it notes from customers who have had the pleasure of eating there. Such a great eatery!

Came to look for some groceries while here in Florence for a family trip! Found this location through Google Maos. This store is great because they have anything that you might need (which is pretty good for an express store) -- not sure if express stores are different than the American versions of expresses, but they had a good amount of options of just about everything. Not sure if the price is what all grocery stores charge in the area because a lot of things seemed quite expensive (loaf of bread could be 4 euros, where as in the US, it would be like 2). But it's a nice place to go to pick up some essential food items/snacks if you don't like eating out all the time when traveling (especially since it can be hard sometimes to find a foods that fit your craving). They carry: - Fresh fruits & veggies - Meats & seafoods - Refrigerated items like: seafood, frozen meals, milk, yogurts, cheese - Drinks: soda, waters, wines, beers, coffee - snacks: chips, nuts, crackers, chocolates and more - household items: kitchen utensils & cutlery, laundry items, bathroom items (toilet paper) - Travel items: power adapters & power extensions

They carry the higher end delicacies the you won't find in the normal supermarkets and small shops. The display is beautiful, like you are walking back in time 100 years. Everything is elegantly displayed and organized in a way that makes things grouped and easy to find. I found items I'd not seen before but definitely have to try. The store is conveniently located about a block from the back corner of the Duomo- so easy to find and return to often in travels around Florence. The staff were very helpful and suggested a few things I hadn't thought of. What I liked was they left me alone to discover on my own and did not hover but were kind and attentive. I highly recommend Pegna if you're craving something nostalgic or even something special. They had the best selection of over 30 stores I visited, and carry brands from elsewhere where in Europe that I could not find anywhere else in a 6 mile radius.

Perhaps some remember and dream of the days when Italy did not yet have gigantic supermarkets…read more.. but all I can think is that it was much less convenient then. With stores like this Esselunga, despite it's size, we can get our shopping done in 20 minutes and then move on with our lives. On the other hand, we are eating relatively standardized foods, including the vegetables, in their little plastic trays, which last oddly longer than those purchased at the Coop. All in all, while I prefer the Coop, the Esselunga is a good thing, and there are reasons to shop here. They have the best specials on packaged things and cleaning supplies. They have ample underground parking and big carts, so it is perfect for stocking up when you need to. Their stock is generally pretty consistent - they don't run out of food at the end of the day, and you usually find what you came for. For fish, see Coop S. Salvi Cristiani which I reviewed - the fish section here does not smell good :(

They need to clean their baskets -no self-checkout -no cheddar cheese (that is me being greedy but coop gavinana has it). -the water section is really far from all of the other drinks and kind of hidden, why? -often dirty advice - NEVER EVER go on a Sunday unless you are masochistic and want to be around a bunch of middle-aged women who will push you using their cart or leave their cart in front of whatever you are looking at. All in all, I would recommend trying to go as local as you or get your veggies delivered from a local farm and just go to esselunga for the basics such as pasta, milk etc etc. They are way better than the thieves at Il Centro and Meta Market. enjoy!
Seriously, I can't believe someone would give this coop only 3 stars. They have the freshest fish…read morefor miles around, and generally excellent vegetables, with less plastic packaging than at the Esselunga of the same area. I'm docking only one star for: 1) the fact that it's populated by ultra-80-year-olds with a bad sense of timing (can't you do the shopping while I'm at work, buddy?) so that often you have to sharpen your elbows to get through them, and the slowness can be really frustrating. 2) their newfangled organic compostable baggies which basically turn your food into compost as soon as it gets home, so you have to repackage everything in plastic or boxes (or maybe it's just me)

However the gelato was delicious--the best strawberry I've had in Italy. Very good value, too. Mordilatte says it uses all natural ingredients, and it shows from the quality of the gelato. Bonus points for its location, too, giving a chance for people to get a quality treat outside the city center.
