Grocery store/Supermarket near Pantheon?
 
We'll be staying at an apartment near the Pantheon next month for a week. We plan on going Campo d'Fiori for fresh produce, but I was wondering if there was a supermarket (or smaller grocery-like store) near the Pantheon for items like juice, milk, snacks, cereal, etc. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Yes, there is a tiny store called Supermercato which is right off of the square.
If you exit the Pantheon, cross the square and turn left it should be right there, it was last week.
Have fun.

Thanks, Natalia. There's was depressing article on CNN.com about how all the mom & pop stores are going out of business.

If anyone knows any family run shops, we would definitely love to hear about them.

Thanks!

Hi BLN,

This is not by the Pantheon but while you are in Campo Dei Fiori for the market, if you stand with your back at the back of the Statue (Giordano Bruno), to your right kitty corner is a little market too for those things you mentioned.

We just returned from a stay at the Albergo Del Senato across from the Pantheon. The supermarket was just a short walk at Via Giustiniani #18. You can find the street on all tourist maps. We bought lots of bottled water there. It was also very interesting to browse through there.

The geleteria next to the market is called Fragola e Limone and is also worth a try.
