Billa
Venice wouldn’t look the same without its yellow plastic bags. The only real supermarket in town, Billa is a lifeline for Venetians and tourists alike. Open until late and also on Sundays, it is also one of the cheapest places for fruit and vegetables. A good ham and cheese counter with staff who speak English, it also stocks such home-from-home delicacies as peanut butter and Weetabix. Tucked away at the end of the Zattere fondamenta, it is handily positioned next to a large post office and ten yards from the nearest vaporetto stop. Just remember your L.500 for the trolley…
