Just had my first trip to the supermarket and it was a whopper! We walked down a main road in our neighborhood (Trastevere) looking for the supermarket and could not find it. Then, as we turned around and began walking back, we soon spotted a grocery store advertisement on the entrance of a large clothing store with an arrow pointing down. Turns out our grocery store is in the basement of a clothing department store.
A few differences in shopping at a Roman grocery store: A) you take all of your items out of your basket (DO NOT put the basket on the counter for many lives are lost over this action). B) You bag all of your groceries (they can and slide them down into a pit of sorts and you do the rest) C) The food is straight gold.
