Market Casa Italia Madrid

Little Italy´s supermarket

Andrea from Madrid

About Me I am a teacher and examiner who made a home in Madrid many years ago. I love live music, art, books, travel, food and dancing and am well served for all my interests in Madrid. I live on a special plane where I exist as an eternal tourist (check out Alain de Botton’s book The Art of Travel) who maintains a sense of wonder in a familiar place. I love showing people round my favourite...
"Market Casa Italia is a cozy corner of Madrid with fresh pasta, cheeses, wines and gluten free treats, loved by locals, expats and holiday visitors alike."

Located in Madrid´s tiny unofficial Little Italy, this recent addition to the neighbourhood has quickly become popular with Italian expats and locals alike. It has all the pantry essentials you´d expect to find in an Italian supermarket, but right here in the heart of Madrid!

As well of every variety of fresh and dry pasta imaginable, it also has a great selection of cheese, deli meats, wine, liqueurs, soft drinks, rice, beans, cakes and cookies... all Italian of course!

Most impressive is the huge variety of gluten-free products. Not just pasta either - there´s gnocchi, pizza bases, flours and all sorts, making it celiac heaven! Healthy wholemeal versions of many things are available too, and all at great prices.

With Christmas coming there will be panettone and other seasonal treats, so if you are here for the holidays and self-catering, you might want to stop by!

I also love the building it´s in; this groovy late '60s gem is well worth checking out, with it´s chocolate brown tiled facade, chrome yellow awnings and leafy balconies.
