Perfect corner local grocery store for an Italian language newbie staying in an Airbnb nearby. We will be cooking some of our own meals so going to the local grocer's is a fun culinary adventure.
It was small yet had all of the essentials. Its aesthetic is like an NYC bodega where things are stacked from floor to ceiling. The employees were very helpful and didn't make fun of my preschool level Italian. There are small bakery, cheese and butcher counters. I encountered this local style of cheese, treccia, and am obsessed. The braiding is beautiful and the flavor is sublime.
I do wish they had a fish counter but but I am certain that there are some good fishmongers near by.
The quality of the produce was excellent. Unlike things in the U.S. where things look good but have no taste, all of the vegetables I bought had amazing depth of flavor. You do have to weigh and label your own produce which took me a bit of time to figure out.
Looking forward to going back later in the week and definitely recommend visiting it if you need to go grocery shopping while visiting Sorrento. read more
