"There are many of those around the city centre. I love to jump in to grab a snack on the go or to have the essentials to organize an appetizer in my apartment or in my hotel room. When I travel I love to go in local supermarket and buy something local to snack. Also this is a great spot if you'd like to bring a present to a friend. Food gift are one of my favourite! I think you can discover a lot of a culture from the food you find in the store or supermarket. It depends on the size of the shop but the smaller offers italian products, the bigger offer a wolrdwide selection. "
