Oh what joy to have big bold Eataly on our doorstep. Yes, it's (almost) permanently packed (with locals and tourists alike), but it's fun and buzzy, and makes grocery shopping an event. It's HUGE - a collection of eateries scattered within a food 'market' that celebrates all things Italian. it can be a bit overwhelming - but it's full of (mostly) lovely things and has been stylishly enough put together that I can overlook its flaws.
We can vouch for their delicious bread, a good fish market, a huge selection of pastas, oils etc, a spectacular array of cheese and charcuterie and a pretty good produce section. Eating options range from (good) coffee and home made gelato, to a grown-up waiter service meat restaurant. We loved Le Verdure - a casual eatery section that celebrates vegetables and the fish restaurant looks very delicious too. The charcuterie hall offers delicious cheese and charcuterie combinations for consumption propped against a bar - in true italian style. There's also a pizza/pasta eating place, and lots of things to take away - paninis, patisseries, chocolates etc.
There's also a wine shop next door - and a section with italian cookbooks, cooking gizmos and branded Eataly merchandise (of course!). JW
