Ok they do have WiFi main reason I entered here. HOWEVER, wow I was blown away by the sheer variety of gourmet international foods offered here. Each room has a specialty. From all the teas, coffees, marmalade’s, honeys, gluten free section, meats, pastas, a whole room of spices from around the world, caviar, specialty foods from Japan, chocolates I’d never even seen (and I travel extensively, albeit maybe not as much as Castroni buyers) rooms by country, and the very friendly staff to assist. People watching here is a MUST. You will be surprised who shops here. From the Mexican drug lords on family vacations (Shhh!) to international jet setters, to the wayward tourists, etc. You won’t be disappointed. Prices are not bad considering you won’t have to expend airfare to all the countries you will be visiting gastronomically. Do yourself a favor and stop in. Oh yeah! You can also get a pretty good cup of coffee! This place is probably why there are no Starbucks in Italy...

This shop offers a huge array of foods- we bought some delicious sweets and chocolate covered coffee beans. All €2 for 100g so not expensive, and completely delicious.

Was walking by when we noticed a huge selection of candies and chocolate inside so we thought we would stop. As soon as we walked in, we realized the candy was just the tip of the ice berg. We found a wonderful selection of international food and a great food counter with sandwiches and pastries. The store is definitely popular with the locals and can get very busy. Everything we purchased was fresh and delicious.

We weren't intending on eating at Castroni's...only shopping for a friend who wanted some Perugina Glacia candies and was having a difficult time finding them. Thanks to Google, discovered that Castroni has, in addition to a multitude of other product from around the world, a large selection of Perugina hard candies and chocolates (and brands as well). A treat to wander through this store. And the sandwiches were yummy.
