What used to be one of the greatest Italian food shops in the world (no kidding) has now been…read moreconverted into a sort of a highly expensive appetizer bar with bistro tables. Nearly all of the gourmet food products have been removed, so this absolutely is not a place to go food shopping as there are far better places in Rome to shop for excellent cheese and meats. It is an absolute shame that this wonderful shop has been ruined. All the wonderful employees are gone. What were they thinking??? People from all over Rome and the world used to come here for the most prized food products from around Italy. Now, there is essentially no reason to come here. Shame!!!!

What an amazing deli/market. I have never seen the like! You can stop for a phenomenal sandwich…read morewith freshly sliced meat, cheese and bread for around five euros. Not to mention the high-end shopping. We had an amazing exploration of 5, 10 and 15 year old balsamic vinegars (10 being the best with meats and 15 - ice cream topping - sorry, not sorry) I can not say enough about this neighborhood deli but if you are here and you miss it....totally your loss! Bottom line: go, go, go!

This local gourmet food shop was a great find in Rome!…read more One of about half a dozen locations in the Rome metropolitan region, this one is located a few blocks northeast of the Vatican. Passing by I walked in on a whim and was glad I did. Inside it's set up like an old school general store of sorts. Shelves upon shelves of all sorts of food are everywhere you look--from herbs and spices, olive oils and balsamic vinegars, dried pastas of regional brands and variety, candy and chocolates, canned/jarred/dried products from artichokes to lentils to anchovies, roasted coffee beens, even international items Thai curry sauce and Middle Eastern tahini. Hundreds of bottles of wine and liquors line the shelves. Spending about 30 minutes here, I found some pasta and cooking spices to bring back for friends as souvenirs. The prices were higher than a regular supermarket though some brands appeared to be less commonplace (or least I hope they were for those pasta prices lol). Would stop by again if in that part of Rome!

Nearby our hotel…read more This store was convenient and we were able to get a few gifts for family and friends from here. Prices are a bit steep but there are a lot of unique things offered. Employees are friendly and helpful. Lots of candies, pastas, wine, chocolates, cookies, etc. There is a small cafe at the back of the store as well. Definitely check it out if you're in the area.
