An exception must be made to the rule of StoreNextDoor reporting on local grocery stores as opposed to supermarkets, for the hidden treasure of Little Italy. On a sidestreet from Meent, Little Italy doesn’t appear like a big store but you will be surprised once inside.
This Italian supermarket offers a wide range of Italian basic ingredients such as pasta, and Italian coffee, as well as delicacies such as Italian hams, olives, and antipasti. The wine selection at Little Italy is another reason to pay a visit.
One of the main reasons however to make your way to Little Italy, is for the mere experience. Most of the staff is Italian, which undoubtedly gives you a feeling that you’ve stepped from Rotterdam and into a local grocery store in Rotterdam. The staff is always ready to offer you advice on which pancetta is the best and which red wine will go best with your ossobucco.
