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!

The supermarket was very clean and organized. Prices were average. I wouldn't say it's to tourist…read morefriendly. 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.

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.

The associates restock the shelves during business hours blocking aisles which makes it difficult to shop in an already crowded store. Esselunga offers a loyalty discount card.
