This market is located in its own small square, both in a main building and in a strip of small…read morestorefronts directly next to the main building. The main building has glass windows so you can see some of the store fronts inside. Walking in around 9:30am on a Saturday morning there were a handful of early shoppers though not enough to make it crowded. There are about 20-25 total vendors, butchers, grocers, bakeries, convenience, florist, juice bar and clothing/accessories shops. A couple ethnic stores (Latin American and E Asian) from what I could tell. This is located in a less touristy part of town so prices looked overall pretty reasonable. There's not a lot of places to sit and enjoy any drinks/take away food, though there are a couple picnic tables outside and you could potentially pick somewhere along some stairs in the open square area next to the market if you need.

I've been to larger markets in Europe (Mercado de la Ribera in Bilbao, Mercado Bolhão in Porto and…read moreMercado Central which is not in Europe but is in Santiago) and while this one is smaller than those others, it has the good stuff. Butcher, produce, random groceries, a cheesemonger, wine vendor, baker (pastries and breads) and such. Lots to see and experience. Samples from some, narrow aisles, many different opportunities to stock your fridge with goodies. [Review 10675 overall, 443 of 2019.]

The best in Milano. So good, that friends and family (all italian) outside of Milano ask us to…read morebring them some, specifically the polpette (meatballs) and cotolette (mini breaded veal cutlets). Whenever I want to make a whole roast chicken I make sure to come here. It's just not the same and my bf can always tell the difference even if I try to fib! Our family loves to use the polpette to make mini hamburgers. Only one of the guys speaks a little English, so I suggest prepping your Italian or better yet grab an Italian to help you. The place is tiny and often has as least a couple people in line, be prepared for a wait of up to 15 mins. Their also pricey and only accept cash. But it's all worth it!

In addition to the meats, the vegetables are first quality, but again a bit on th pricey side. I wish the size of the store was bigger since the concept is very good.

In all honesty, our primary objective was finding a bathroom before driving to Como. Esselunga…read moreprovided that - plus an insane selection of food and wine, so much so that we left with no less than three full bags. For drinks, a little browsing revealed €3,50 bottles of Lambrusco and Prosecco that we simply couldn't pass up. Whatever we pickled (I basically closed my eyes) was amazing and lasted two of the three days of our time in Como. And while we were at it...we figured we would also pick up meat, cheese, bread, crackers, and waters for the drive, and also see what else they had. Though we did not get any, the meat and produce looked and smelled amazing. There was so much bread to choose from (beyond the baguette we bought and tore into as soon as we got in the car,) and the biggest boxes Barilla pasta I've ever seen (measured in kilograms) were only €1,50. The whole pasta aisle was at least four or five times larger than anything I've ever seen at home. If you are in Milan and need groceries, this is the place to go. Even if you don't need groceries, I'm sure you need some incredibly inexpensive bubbly. Even if you don't need bubbly...well that never happens, so ignore that.

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.

Located just off Via Torino, this small grocery shop has products made in America. Have a…read morehankering' for a Butterfingers? They've got you covered. Doritos? They have those too. Candy and snack items include Whoppers, an assortment of candy bars, 'Bertie Bott's every flavor beans', Twinkies, those tiny powdered sugar covered donuts, flaming hot Cheetos, HOT salsa and cheese sauce to dip your chips. Some of the available grocery items include evaporated milk, pumpkin pie filling, cranberry sauce, cake mixes and frosting, salad dressings, jerky (dried meat), pickles, pancake mix, marshmallow 'Fluff' and 'Quick' chocolate milk powder. Although not an American item, they also have 'Vegemite'. Even though prices are higher than in a grocery store 'state side', it's nice to have the availability of grocery items to make recipes that would otherwise be unavailable. It's also a nice way for an Italian to get a taste of some American foods, or to remember some items they tried while on vacation.
