The neighbourhood's go-to for daily shopping. Fresh bread baked every morning, quality food products and deli goods made fresh each day. One of those village shops that holds everything together: the owner knows everyone and always has a recommendation.
The bakery on Piazza Italia is one of the beating hearts of the village. Artisan production of bread, pastries and deli goods. You'll also find LPG canisters and heating pellets here — an essential service for those living or staying in the mountains. Family-run for generations.
Grocery shop with bakery and deli on Via XXV Aprile. A second supply point for residents and visitors staying in the area — conveniently placed for those arriving on foot via the mule track.
The only place in the village to find fresh seasonal fruit and vegetables — and in summer, artisan ice cream too. A pleasant stop after a walk or before heading back up the mountain. A simple but invaluable service for anyone spending a few days in Esino.
The village newsagent on Via Adamello: newspapers and magazines every morning, stationery for travellers' needs, a small selection of books and local guides, costume jewellery and phone top-ups for all networks. An indispensable multi-purpose shop for anyone staying in Esino.
Professional interpreting and translation services in French and English, based in Esino Lario. Ideal for businesses operating on the lake or for individuals needing language support in Valsassina and the surrounding area. Also available as a language teacher for individual and group lessons.

Everything you need, without going to Varenna
Despite being a small mountain village at 914m, Esino Lario is surprisingly self-sufficient. You'll find fresh bread every morning at three different grocers, plus deli products, fruit and vegetables, a newsagent/stationery shop, and professional services including an interpreter for French and English. Monday is the most common closing day for shops — plan accordingly. For a larger supermarket, Varenna is 30 minutes away by bus (SP62, €2.50). Direct contact with shop owners is always the best approach — most speak enough English to help.
