    Pegna

    A good selection of Tuscan and regional Italian specialities such as pâté, cheese, coffees, preserves and other stuff too good to be called just groceries can be found in this mini-supermarket.

    Lurking just off the bustling Piazza di Santa Croce, this long gallery of a shop sells a good selection of Tuscan farm products, but above all wine and olive oil. Out the back you can taste both products before making a purchase. The same shop also runs an Internet service.

    La Galleria del Chianti

    Despite the name, the shelves of this store are stacked with goodies from all over Tuscany and even a few from other regions, such as Poli Grappa from Bassano del Grappa in the Veneto (if your insides need a clean).

    Dolceforte

    This place sells exquisite chocolates, including sweet Duomos, Davids and Ponte Vecchios. The perishable cocoa confections are replaced with equally delectable preserves and jams in summer.
