Orso Ghiotto 2.0 In Bagno a ripoli

25/02/2026: I was there as a customer at the delicatessen. It's a gem for true connoisseurs! The store is spacious and beautifully designed. They have umbrella bags at the entrance, which was a real help. There are tons of shelves, and you can find literally everything! (There was even a separate shelf for different types of flour.) I spent literally an hour and a half there browsing everything. There's also a bakery, which is hard not to fall in love with when it looks like this. There's a huge selection of cheeses; I even got to try some for free. Some items are specially designed for air travel, which was a real treat. They offer master classes, and you can even buy a gift trip on a "gastro tour." I found hippocampus juice, which I've never seen anywhere else! It's a shame that loyalty cards are only available to residents of Italy, although that's probably logical. The prices are pretty average for deli items of good quality, even lower than at another delicatessen I've been to. The staff is friendly, and I've never been greeted so many times. In short, it was a wonderful experience, and I would be happy to return again (probably with a separate suitcase for purchases from this store 🤪)

19/02/2026: A must-see! Market and restaurant in the traditional EATALY style. Italian wines at good prices and promotions on wonderful panettone. The restaurant has a menu of delicious soups and pizzas, among other options.
