Panini, schiacciata, and pizza al taglio from bakeries and street stalls; the Mercato Centrale (ground floor) has good takeaway options.
Conad, Coop, and Esselunga are the main chains; Lidl and Carrefour Express also common in the area.
Affordable chains like OVS, H&M, and Benetton along Via de' Calzaiuoli or at the Galleria Porta al Prato. Market stalls at San Lorenzo market for basics.
