Where can you do your supermarket shopping in Florence? Well due to Florence’s size you will not find large malls or big department store in the city center but we do have our mini version of them.
In the last few years the local (Florence and Tuscany) chain il Centro has become very popular offering a good choice of all every day’s shopping need.
You can find them near your apartment at the following addresses:
Piazza Tasso, 4 r* | Oltrarno and Porta Romana area |
Via Ricasoli, 109/r* | Piazza San Marco area |
Via de’ Ginori, 41/r* | Duomo area |
Via delle Ruote, 42-44/r* | Libertà, Piazza San Marco area |
Via Il Prato, 72/r* | Ognissanti area, Palazzuolo area |
Via Romana, 113/r* | Pitti, Via Romana area |
Borgo degli Albizi, 57/59 r* | Santa Croce area |
Check the website by clicking the image above for more detailed location maps and opening hours.
Outside the city center you’ll also find bigger supermarkets and stores for your van-stuffing-shopping session! One little suggestion here: you are in Florence and at least for another few years small Salumerie, Panificerie, Macellerie, Latterie, Negozi di Ortaggi e Frutta will keep their business open although strangled by Globalization economy (too long of a topic to even mention any further), give them a try until you can.
written COOP is a large chain of supermarkets that has also very large super store *mall like* size, you might want to rent a car or take a taxi if you need to do some serious shopping.
Esselunga is another chain in Florence they both have smaller stores and larger Superstores. Here again the map to their store locator tool.
Conad is another 18 store chain in Florence you can find convenient prices, below the store locator link to official web site.
Conad has recently introduced small high quality stores in the Florence city center currently they have two open, one near Ponte Vecchio another by the Train station.
VIA DE’ BARDI 45/4750100 FIRENZE | |
LARGO F.LLI ALINARI 6/750100 FIRENZE |

As you can see from the list above, don’t worry about your shopping needs once in Florence but make sure to check small street stores as well!
