Italian Grocery Shopping, Better Than Trader Joes

Hard to believe Italy has the best grocery store I have ever been in. Everything comes in small sizes, everything is fresh, huge selection, clean and an unbelievable experience. This place is better than Trader Joes. Bonus footage of a McDonalds located above the grocery store. Even McDonalds looks appetizing.Let me know what you think.

Thanks for such a descriptive and well-filmed video. I’m an American based in Milan now for over five years and it’s true that Italy spoils you with the quality of its food. From bread to fresh produce to meats, cheeses, and wines it is hard to beat. The major supermarkets like Conad, Carrefour, Coop, Esselunga, and Iper have now made grocery shopping am experience unto itself, even to the point of having a caffè bar or eatery incorporated into the property. I also like how in Italy people tend to make a mini-shop each day for things like bread and produce to get the most out of the season and fresh products.

It is one of the great things about Italy. Priority seems to be local and fresh over profits

[@smimtiaz4556]

Italy is more beautiful than dream

[@RozierRoma]

Italy is lucky to have all the fresh food and making it a priority

[@serendipityoils9983]

The produce in Italy is so amazing, I miss the strawberries especially. I am surprised they let you film in the store and some people looked like they did not want to be filmed.

[@RozierRoma]

Funny observation. I was in the store four or five times filming and no one seem to care but you’re right some people for whatever reason don’t want to be on camera.

[@mimmiblu6138]

​​@@RozierRoma because you have to ask for permission to film people on private premises in Italy ... why should I end up on the internet because somebody else filmed me while I was grocery shopping? Privacy is strictly regulated in the EU

[@xyanatos]

that "ando' annamo? Su italia uno?" when entering the mc donald's killed me XD it's roman dialect and it basically translates to "where are we going on air? Italia uno?" (italia uno is a tv channel) Obviously it was because he saw your camera.

[@RozierRoma]

That went over my head. Thanks for pointing that out

[@DudeSawdust]

The McDonalds food photographer deserves an award for taking such great pictures. Those photos made the food look like they taste way better than reality. A real pro indeed!

[@RozierRoma]

You funny

[@brentspitler9884]

My little freckled friend, I am interested to see the difference in pricing from the U.S. Great Video.

[@RozierRoma]

@@brentspitler9884 OK Ill get that next time

[@RozierRoma]

@@brentspitler9884 I'll do a cost of Italy 2023 video soon. Good idea

[@user-kb3cq7qt7c]

Store looks very fresh and clean

[@rudfil]

When in Italy I used to go to this giant store called IPER and it reminded me of an upscale Walmart store.

[@RozierRoma]

I have been in only 1 IPER store. It did seem nice but not close to where I stay unfortunately.

[@debrasams2362]

Wonderful video!! Thank you. So cool. I could spend all day in there just looking. This was great!!😊

[@RozierRoma]

Thanks I’m working on a new one looking more at cost comparison to us

[@itsmetaran]

The store looks great. Thanks.

[@RozierRoma]

It had great selection and most thing were much smaller size than in US. Overall the food is much healthier than we have in the states

[@vincenzochessa9373]

The pineapple tree is called Ananasso

[@RozierRoma]

Oh, makes more sense

[@user-xk6hx6jm9t]

Loved seeing an Italian grocery store! The pineapple cutter was quite unique....So I wonder if all the food in Italy is organic, or just at this grocery store?

[@RozierRoma]

I am going to do another similar video soon

[@mf5531]

All...

[@Scassadar]

Not everything Is organic, but the laws about chemicals usage in agriculture and farming are so much stricter that the US ones, that the actual difference between organic and non organic products is greatly reduced. Then, theres the actual organic food category, which translates as "biologico", or "biological"

[@cherylguthrie9226]

Great video - thank you! What a fantastic store this is. I would love to see you do a video of Eataly too one day. In Indonesian, pineapple is nanas. Similar.

[@RozierRoma]

Thanks for the comment. I will have to get to Eatily

[@Lorre982]

02:48 yellomelon, ananas is the botanic scietifc name across the planet

[@RozierRoma]

Good to know thank you

[@gardenia56]

In Arabic we also call it anans

[@RozierRoma]

Very interesting

[@Luca-qy7pt]

Hi from Italy 😀

Ciao! Where are you from?

[@neutronalchemist3241]

The scientific name of pineapple is Ananas Comosus.

[@RozierRoma]

Well, there, you have it! I should’ve been a scientist and I would’ve known

[@TheOneTwo12]

Fyi - dont act so american😂. ananas is a common name for pineapple in most western and possibly many other languages as well. The English alternative is the unusual one. Same goes for egg count etc.

[@RozierRoma]

Thanks for taking the time to watch

[@avalanche84sakic]

Well in it's native home of South America, I've never seen or heard to referred to it as ananas. It's always called piña -- which makes sense giving the very popular piña colada Derivatives of piña are actually common used in a lot of countries across the world so you're not just sounding American.

[@TheOneTwo12]

@@avalanche84sakic here you go: The pineapple is indigenous to South America, specifically believed to have originated in the area of present-day Brazil and Paraguay. It was cultivated by the native tribes for food and medicinal purposes. The indigenous Tupí people of South America called the pineapple “ananas”, which means "excellent fruit". This term is still used in many languages today. However, when Christopher Columbus encountered the fruit, he named it “piña de Indes” (little pine of the Indians) due to its resemblance to a pinecone. This term evolved into “piña” in Spanish and “pineapple” in English.

[@kirankaur3238]

Can u plz tell us where's this store in italy?

[@RozierRoma]

Located in Frascati about 10 miles south of Rome city center

[@lucabertolucci8164]

Conad in Italy is a big supermarchet chain. You can find one of this in every city ;-)

[@marcmanion4264]

Not quite Trader Joes than you Lord!

[@RozierRoma]

Not sure I understand. But thanks for the comment

[@sandman9924]

This guy must not have gotten around much in the U.S. Thinks Trader Joe's is the benchmark of supermarkets, never heard of mortadella, and never went to a supermarket that had a cart deposit.

[@RozierRoma]

Trader joe's is the best supermarket in the US for the price but a nice Italian Supermarket is so much better in almost every way than any market I have been to in the stated. Have you ever tried to park with a shopping cart in the way? They do not have that problem in Italy and the carts do not end up at some distant abandoned building.

[@smartboy6692]

Please sir I'm interested for job

[@RozierRoma]

Job?

[@stevenrogers8939]

Ananas is also Arabic

[@RozierRoma]

It is a funny word and I find it odd to be used in Italian. Thanks for letting me know.

[@stevenrogers8939]
