Love to find a great grocery store when we're traveling for two weeks! We found Supermercati PAM…read moretwo years ago when we were in Italy and searched for it again on our latest trip these past two weeks. Great selection of meats and cheeses and breads, along with olives and olive oils, bakery pastries, snacks and any kind of drink you could want - plus everything else you'd expect from a grocery store. And very reasonable prices too.

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!

Basic grocery store in Mercantale with good local produce (tomatoes, cherries, basil) at extremely…read morelow prices. Interesting how vast the selection of cheeses, cured meats is (see my picture of a giant ham leg). If you're trying to find the eggs, they are across from the meats section and are not refrigerated. They also only carry them in half dozen packs. My only complaint is the personal care section. There aren't a huge selection of toothpastes and shampoos there FYI. They don't speak English.

If you're staying around Mercatale, this will be your go-to grocery store in town, since there are…read moreno other options. Get your cheese and meats up on the square, but for the rest, you'll be stuck with the Coop. This one is very small, a limited selection. The food is still amazing, fresh, seasonal and local, as it is in most of Tuscany. If you need anything you can't find here though, try the bigger coop in San Casciano (keep in mind that things are so seasonal in Tuscany, that they may be out of tomatoes if it's the middle of winter, even though that's a staple you'd expect to find anywhere in Italy). If you still can't find what you need, seek out the hypermarket 45 minutes away, near Florence, called I Gigli. My main beef with this Coop is that the staff is incredibly rude. Even if you speak Italian, as long as you look like a foreign (blond, blue eyed, light skin, or any race but white), they will treat you like crap most of the time. They will hurl your fruits and vegetables to the end of the bagging counter, they will not be patient if you don't have your money ready or try to pay with a card that doesn't work, and certainly don't expect them to smile or wish you a good day. And if you don't speak Italian, expect nothing at all from them.

But you really should head for this one - the big one (located in a mini-mall)! Everything you need is here. Meat (fresh, packed or frozen), cold meats, bread, pastry, cookies, olive oil, dairy products, pasta, all the non-food items, beer, wine, spirits and a great selection of fresh fish and seafood! It's like a Safeway / Walmart / Tesco...that kinda supermarket. A wee bit smaller of course. We shopped here on a daily basis during our time in San Vincenzo this year and the year before. Especially the seafood / fish selection is very nice....and so fresh! And you really can walk away with a huge load of seafood for under 20 Euro. The cold meat cuts and their cheese are great too ... and really low-priced, but high quality. Also great to stock up your alcohol! And if you need anyhting else to eat / cook or other items for you household, they probably got it too. It's also where the locals shop. Opened 7 days a week (sundays only in the morning), except for holidays like Christmas or Easter.
