I love GranGusto! Amazing selection, fabulous food and cheese selection, and some awesome spices.read more

I absolutely LOVE this place…read more As a supermarket, it's phenomenal. The selection and the quality is top-notch. Just the cheese department alone makes it worth the trip. And the restaurant is good. Reasonable prices, and a decent selection. But the thing that keeps bringing me back is the bar. The drinks are reasonably priced (bordering on cheap!) and if one is not careful, one will ruin one's appetite with all of the complimentary snacks that are available.

His prices are very fair considering the size of the place and he is extremely honest. I found out that he lives in the palazzo across the street where I am staying, so he serves the neighborhood, seeming to know everybody that passes, even yelling, a Neapolitan tradition, across the street to a neighbor who was about to receive a delivery from his store. If staying in the area or in need of some groceries, water, a sandwich, or a snack, walk up the hill from Via Toledo (near Toledo station) and say "ciao" to Ciro.

This little market and pastry shop is right around the corner from the apartment in which we stay…read morewhen we visit Napoli. A wonderful selection of various foods with several homemade offerings from the proprietor, Nunzio Ippolito, a wonderful and friendly man. His pastries are excellent and, to my mind, stand out in a city full of superb pastry shops. A tiny place packed with culinary delights in the "centro storico," and a warm and friendly owner/operator too!
