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!

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.

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.

I just supplement with interesting items from local vendors. The funny part was it took me 10 minutes to figure out which bottle contained hair conditioner. I think I got it right and will find out tonight!

The vegan sandwich is made with flat, crusty thick bread with sesame seeds and packed with veggies (including sundried tomatoes and avocado) and hummus. The peanut butter protein bowl has a thick, cold base with banana slices, cacao nibs, almond slices, flaxseed, and the perfect amount of peanut butter. It's also in a nice part of Navigli with all sorts of restaurants around. I love sitting near the window and looking out at the people passing by while eating my meal.
