Thank you for this list! I’m always looking for stuff to bring back from Italy for people. Everyone might just be getting the tiny moka pots this year!
I too like COOP best. Unfortunately the grocery store a few feet away from my apartment is an Esselunga. There's a large COOP out beyond where I am that would be easy if I had a car, but without one...it's not going to happen. I totally agree about not needing more things, but also enjoying the browsing and maybe the purchasing of certain pretty things 😉
I've heard so much about Pocket Coffee, but haven't tried it yet. Is it readily available this time of year (February/March) in Rome? Do you know where it's sold?
It's so good! (if sweet coffee and chocolate is your thing 😉) You should be able to find it at any cash register, usually in bars and supermarkets. My pal Elizabeth has a great video showing you everything. https://www.instagram.com/p/C12Vr-Jtvcj/
This list is perfection! I’ve saved all these recommendations for exploring on the next Rome visit. And popping in for some cardinal red socks at Gammarelli is brill! 🙌🙌🙌
Ahhh loved this post! Always looking for the best things to bring home from Italy, beyond the obvious choices. Thank you!

It’s SO cute! My grocery store has them next to the till
Yes, I have re-discovered tea-towels just recently! Going to Rome on Thursday, thanks for the tips!
You can never have too many!

Sweet coffee and chocolate is my thing! 😋 Thank you! I’m keeping my eyes open while in Rome.
Love all of this dish towels, socks, teensy tiny coffe box.

Thank you!
Great tips! I guess I could go to EatItaly in Beverly Hills to buy souvenirs to bring back to Italy😄
I would like enchilada sauce & Trader Joe's peanut butter cups please 🙏
They’re yours!
These are great tips Gillian, and many of them applicable to any Italian city 👌🏼
In a venice I buy tins of baicoli & bigoli in pretty wrapping!
That's exactly what I was thinking, and those in pretty tin boxes make for a nice gift too!
