Passing through Cinque Terre, there is no doubt that Corniglia will be one of your stops. If you…read morehave heard anything about Corniglia, it is actually all true and the steps to the top lead to a reward of your own choice. Will it be gelato? Another hike to the next village? Lunch? Church? Most likely it will be gelato but while you're at it pacing your way through the narrow main street of shops, stop into Fanny Bazar. It's a typical gift shop but one with hand crafted ceramics. The saucers and cups are glossed with lovely rich shades. I couldn't carry them home in my suitcase but did have space for a magnet. The shopkeeper, who is also the ceramic artist, is really nice!

Open all day [compared to the Coops which are closed three hours each afternoon] The manager is super helpful, as is his wife Franca, daughter Giulia, and the other super cool workers. We bought our daily groceries. High quality foods at reasonable prices. The best is the fruit that is displayed in front of the store. You select what you want. Yummy!

This is a decent local shop, with some interesting stuff! It's somewhere between a small mini…read moremarket and a local specialties place, so perhaps best to avoid getting the basics here as you will likely find them cheaper at one of the co-ops in town. Worth a perusal though!

This place is the superstore like super Walmart in USA. It…read moretakes a while to know as they package meat, poultry here in Italy very differently but it was a fun learning experience LOL. I love to cook so first order of business when I am here in Lucca is buy our groceries. We tend to overstock in USA but here just buy what you need for a few days so they are fresh. The chicken taste much better ; seems like not a lot of hormones and chemicals in their products. Milk are quart sizes not in gallons!! Prices are reasonable especially scondo/ sales items. If you are living from inside the wall it is a bit of distance if you don't have a car. You can go to smaller market inside the wall at Tambellini near piazza san frediano and anfitreatro. Smaller selection; that's all you need.

They also have a bakery counter with fresh bread, deli, and butcher. Come here and grab provisions for a long stay, picnic, or whatever. They also have some toiletry items in case you forgot something, and a nice beer and wine selection. Prices are very reasonable, store is clean and well organized. We spoke Italian, but from what I could tell the staff was at least bilingual (Italian-English).

They also had a small waterpark for the kids to cool off. If you didn't want to pay for that they had a small splash area near the food court. They many designer stores. They treated you very nice. We are at Eataly. The pizzas were delicious and so was the salad. It was a great day spent here.

Do NOT buy anything from this CELINE store. The prices are not really discounted and they will…read moreSCREW you with your conversion rate. The clerk(s) will lie to you and say that they cannot reverse a credit card transaction but in reality are too lazy to do it while calling you a derogatory name in Italian to their colleagues assuming you didn't understand what they just said. Also, they are racists and discriminate against people who don't ooze bling. I bought two items and was not offered a drink eventhough other light-skinned people were.
