Supermarkets in Rome
 
I'm looking at renting an apartment in the Pantheon area. I found a website (underground viaggi) that lists 3 supermarkets in Rome: at the Termini Station, Vatican area on Rienzo, and in Trastevere on Viale di Trastevere.

None of those are particularly close to the Pantheon. I'd like something more than, say, a small corner store that sells mostly drinks and snacks.

And yes, I'm aware there are bakeries, butchers, etc., all separate retailers.

But is there an actual grocery store (like a mini Migros or Coop or something similar) nearby?

Many thanks.

I apologize. I committed a nasty Fodor's mistake, posting before completing my usually thorough review of this site.

I will now look up the one near Fiori. If you know of others, I'd appreciate that as well.

Many thanks.

Aussies:

Here are some supermarkets in Rome:

SUPERMERCATO STANDA (Via Cola di Rienzo 173, inside the COIN department store)

SUPERMERCATO GS (Via Monte di Farina) the largest supermarket in the historical center between Campo de’ Fiori and Largo Argentina.

SUPERMERCATO DI MEGLIO (Via Giustiniani 18b) doesn’t look like much from the outside but is huge.

SUPERMARKET (Viale di Trastevere, 60 inside the Oviesse department store)

There is also one right near the Trevi fountain (the street on the left side that leads up to it).

kopp, there is a grocery store (supermercato)on Vai Monterone, just southeast of the pantheon, east of Piazza Navona. It runs north off Corso Vittorio Emanuale.

Well, I meant to say southWEST of the Pantheon for the one on Via Monterone.

You can also have a lot of fun joining the locals early in the morning at the Campo de Fiori to buy all your groceires fresh at the daily market there.

There is a pedestrian walkway between the Piazza Rotundo (Pantheon) and Piazza Navonna. Along that stretch On there is a supermarket. If you are standing on the steps of the Pantheon and facing the fountain, the walkway is the northwest corner. It has a whole array of what you may need. Enjoy!

There is a supermarket a hop and skip away from the Piazza della Rotonda (Pantheon).

It is at Via Giustiniani, 18

Here is a Google Map of it:
