Date of visit: May 24, 2025…read more We needed some supplies for our time here in Milan and I wanted something more than just a convenience store or mini market and the prices that go with those places that tend to be the opposite of the size of the establishment! This Esselunga is located within a mall, which I have to say is a new one for me, but the location was good for us to walk to and from our apartment and they had a nice variety of items available for purchase. Staff was nonexistent but we were able to find most of what we wanted without any assistance.

Fantastic grocery store in the lower level of the Piazza Gae Aulenti near the Garabaldi train…read morestation. So many options to chose from and all at reasonable prices. Every time we're in Milan we stop by here to pick up things to take home that you cannot easily get in North America.

If you're living or staying around this area, this is a good place to get groceries. It was my…read morego-to spot because it has just about everything. Their store brand is good quality for a low price. I'm a big fan of everything from their pesto to their Nutella. The frozen pomodoro - formaggio crêpes are a guilty pleasure of mine. If you're an English speaker, stick to google translate rather than asking people for help - it'll probably yield better results. I always had great help when I asked where something was in Italian. The only time I was ever frustrated was in trying to figure out the self checkout.

My sister got me Esselunga Caffe coffee from Italy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…read more GRAZIE! GRAZIE! GRAZIE! I had to crack open this bad boy for my morning cup. And to my surprise, the "Espresso Bar" is very smooth and only requiring one teaspoon of raw sugar making it a perfect cup. I know... I know... why are you going nuts over Italian grocery store coffee? Well, i'm a coffee fanatic and its always a joy to taste other roasts from around the world. Unfortunately, I can't find Esselunga in the U.S. So i'll be sipping and Yelping for the next couple of weeks. I'm saving the last star for my trip to Italy (now that I have family there)!!!

The supermarket was very clean and organized. Prices were average. I wouldn't say it's to tourist…read morefriendly. None of the staff was very welcoming or willingly looking to provide customer service. They do have a good selection of local products available. One weird thing for me being American was. They kept their eggs on shelves instead of the cooler section. I will say one thing that made this place a "Do not return" spot for me was the there was several rotten fruits and vegetables left mixed in with the others. You can tell they had been there for days and no one checks. They charge for bags here so keep that in mind and plan accordingly. I will say I like the hrs of operation.

Date of visit: May 27, 2025…read more I wanted to bring back some pasta for my employees and rather than hitting up a tourist spot featuring overpriced pasta shaped like gondolas, I found a grocery store where locals were more likely to buy their pasta. There was a decent selection of pasta at a very good price, with several brands outside of the store brand available for purchase. The store was clean and in good condition; really the only things that I didn't like was the unfriendliness of the person staffing the self-checkouts (no greeting or acknowledgement at all) and that despite the checkout having an English option, the receipt still printed in Italian. Seems like an easy fix!

So glad we found this supermarket! We got a cucumber, blueberries, bananas, pizzas, calzones,…read moresausage bread, juice. Loved the selections for individually-packaged itemssuch as salads & cut-up fruits. Great selections of pretty much everything you typically find at any American grocery store. The store-made foods we got were 50% OFF!!! Bc we went late at night. If you're a budget-minded traveler, you'd love this store!

Bored and lacking in inspiration, I could walk down the street from my hotel and find this kind of ambrosia that is simply unavailable in DC.

This Esselunga is gargantuan, but my complaint is that it takes FOREVER to walk through…read more If you work nearby, this makes it a hassle if you just want to grab something quick to eat. Unlike in the US, they make you walk to this tiny entrance to access the store. You can't cut through cashiers at checkout or jump to the freezer aisle without walking through produce, lol! This location also has a Bar Atlantic, the bars normally inside Esselunga locations that offer cafe selections like coffee, breakfast, etc

They are open most of the days from 8 am to 9 pm, so very flexible for those who have a tight schedule. The only caveat is that because it's so popular it is usually packed during the weekend.

They could be a little bigger, but this is a nice grocery store located right by the Castelbarco…read moretram station. It's also just around the corner from the Bocconi campus. They have the basics in dry and refrigerated groceries, plus some take-and-bake and ready to eat options. There's focaccia, chicken, and salad if you need to be on the go. Prices seem to be standard. In addition to the typical line, they also have self checkout kiosks, which can make this a quick trip. I appreciate the convenience of popping in just for a cheap bottle of tea and not having to wait around.
