The best grocery stores Sardinia

Pinuccio Mangatia is the great-grandson of the founder of this typical grocery store. In 1922, Pietro Mangatia decided to promote the good local products of Osilo. He opens this shop which is passed on from generation to generation. Each owner puts his paw on it, and widens the range of products on offer. Today, you can find delicious Sardinian cold meats, beautiful well matured cheeses, but also products from the continent such as Parma ham or Reggiano parmesan cheese. A very good address to get good local products.

The Orro family invites you to discover Sardinian tradition through wine and gastronomy. Three generations live and work on this agricultural estate, which has won us over. Vernaccia, passito (a dessert wine with bewitching aromas) and all the good vintages rub shoulders here with typical recipes: crushed olives with wild fennel, olive cream, artichoke cream, eggplant cream, wild asparagus cream, lemon pepper cream... All the products on offer are of the highest quality, and the recipes of yesteryear are truly brought to life. To be visited and tasted without moderation!

Pork and boar hams, pecorino and panadas cheese, stuffed pasta with pork or lamb meat…

Frue is a grocery store specialized in exclusive gastronomic products located in a pedestrian and shopping street. For the lunch break, you can enjoy sandwiches, salads and traditional products. Of course, the emphasis is on small producers and for a delicatessen in the capital, the prices are controlled. "Frue" in Sardinian is the soul of cheese. Originally a cheese shop, this store has, over time, expanded its offer with unique products: carasau bread from Ovedda, pecorino from Osilo, olio di oliva from Dolianova... To discover!

Vetusta is first and foremost a delicatessen specializing in ultra-local "km zero" products, whether liquids (wines) or solids (charcuterie and cheeses). The advice is very pertinent, and you get the feeling that it's a passion they're sharing with you. The end of the morning or afternoon continues on the terrace, with a selection of charcuterie and cheese platters. You'll be told where each item comes from, the name of the producer and so on. We really liked the wine selection and the warm, authentic welcome.

Sapori e Tradizioni is like an Ali Baba's cave: you can find everything and above all only good and beautiful things. From the excellent wines of the region to jewelry, cheese and olive oil, you can't help but find what you want. It is almost a concept store and quality is put forward. We really liked the welcome and the kindness with which they guide you in your purchases. And in addition, they speak French. This kind of store is rather unique in Gonnesa and we took the opportunity to do our souvenir shopping there.

In an alley behind the arcades of La Marina, don't miss this shop. It sells high quality and fine handcrafted products. Everything is sourced 100% Sardinian, from sheep's or goat's milk to the meat used for salting. This is the place to come to buy genuine Sardinian pecorino, which is offered at different stages of maturation. The cured meats, perfectly seasoned and dried, look good. Wines, pasta, preserves, sweets and cakes, you can't fail to find what you are looking for.
