Food shopping
Four supermarkets, and the reason we pick one over another
Carrefour Casbeno — If you want something very close, walkable. Keep an eye on the prices.
Coop — For value and quality. Good selection of Italian wines and fresh local cheeses, rarely crowded and pleasantly bright. We go on Sundays, when they take 10% off the whole shop.
Esselunga — For the widest choice. Handy if you are shopping on your way in from the motorway. We use it on weekdays.
Carrefour Masnago — Open at night too. A little pricey, but excellent for emergencies.
Bread
Panettiere Civelli is open mornings only. We go there for one thing in particular: their bocconcini rolls, which we are greedy about.
Local and organic
Orto Uella — In Casbeno.
Orto Bio Broggini —
Apicoltura Frattini Diego — Honey.
NaturaSì Masnago — Organic minimarket.
