For fresh vegetables, fruit, meat, fish, preserved meats, and cheese as well as frozen products the Barcelonetta fresh market is superb.

It is closed Sundays and every afternoon at about 3 pm. Built into one end of the Barcelonetta market is a good grocery store (Appearances are deceptive, most of the groceries are out of sight - take the elevators on the right).
