Our nearest Supermarket is in Piano di Sorrento, half an hour’s drive if the traffic is light. We don’t always want to go there so this is how we get things done without leaving Positano.
The shops we visited are:
The butcher: Macelleria Scirocco, piazza dei Mulini,
The pharmacy: Farmacia Rizzo
The ceramics store: Ceramica Assunta
The hardware store: Ferramento Casola
The grocery store: Non Solo Frutta
The fishmongers: Ittica Positano di De Lucia
RECIPE
Risotto with asparagus and shrimp
Cook about 5-6 asparagus per person in a pan for 10 minutes. Drain, chop and set aside.
Fry half an onion, then when it is golden add most of thethe chopped asparagus and mash it all together. Save some asparagus for garnish. Add the carnaroli rice (100g per person), and a glass of white wine and stir. Add stock bit by bit and stir frequently. Add the shrimp about 5 minutes from the end (see rice cooking guide and do the maths) until the rice is cooked.
Add the saved asparagus on top of each plate and serve

Nikki you like to show your Fanny / butt
Thank you for sharing a part of your daily life with us. It is obviously a lot of work to film and then edit 😮
So cute … such enjoyable a video. And Carlo did more than 10s hahahahaha a
What an amazing shopping trip! I watched this on Sunday but cannot post comments on my tv. So, I watched again today on my phone. Thank you both for all you do to share your lives with us! I know this was not easy! Also, I just watched again the video where you interviewed the 89 year old man in Positano. When tou have time, I would love to see more of him talking about the earlier years before tourists. Have a great week! ❤ Kathy in south Alabama
Loved coming along with you guys, it really felt like I was right there with you…but all those steps I can’t begin to imagine how much of a workout it is. Love seeing a Indie so happy on that hike, your fur babies are living the life.
I adore this channel. been watching since 2020 and love to live vicariously of your lifestyle
Yessss! We love ALL the food! 😊❤
I am curious about the tuna in a jar, I have never seen that. How do you use it? Tunafish sandwiches? I think I might have to get some when we come to the Amalfi coast. Thanks for showing us how you shop. Oh my was that interesting!
Hello everywhere. Carlos that plant is called Lengua De suegra in Spanish, have many properties especially to clean the air, but can be toxic to cats and dogs, usually is place by the front door, Spanish people also use them to keep the bad juju away lol and they say it bring prosperity, I have them they are beautiful, I don’t know how you guys do it, I know is a way of life for you guys, love your videos keep traveling 🥰
Love you guys! ❤❤❤❤
Love all the food, garden, shopping, views and of course family and friends!
Wow, that is quite a challenge to go grocery shopping. Your food looked so fresh and healthy. Thanks for showing us more food…I was getting hungry watching you cook that risotto.
This has got to be one of my favorite video on your channel, thanks for taking us along on the shopping trip. Love the walk that Carlo did with his friend on the last part too. Beautiful view. Well done Carlo you did us proud.
Lol Nicki who needs a Donkey when you got Carlo well done buddy love your work 💜😂 🇦🇺 enjoying that scooter video
This is how we all can support small family busineses. Shop local, shop small and keep these businesses open and look after our small farming communities.
Carrying all those goods for over hundred steps must be crazy 😅 you guys are so strong 💪
Love the video of Carlo and Federico hiking. It is on my bucket list to hike the Path of the Gods and also the trails above Cinque Terre. I have watched Issac from Prowalk Tours on youtube hike both. Thank Carlo and Federico for sharing their hike. Beautiful.
I love food 🙂 and shopping 🙂
Hi Nicki and Carlos , instill can ride my Trek bike and I Cary bags on my handle bars. And a pack on my back. I love to shop I waiting for my social security on the 26th. Fun traveling with you both shopping.
I always was and still do that a pack horse but of course not the steps. We have a lot hills where I live in md. walking up the hills carrying thing is a work out.
What a beautiful path the gods have!
❤hard work but for that view, its worth it 😊
Oh how I absolutely love this video!’ You all are in such good shape, so much walking. I really love all this. I’ve become so lazy because it takes me 2 minutes to cross the street and then I have every store I need to get anything. You have to really plan your time. It’s lovely!!
Spectacular video. Thank you 😊
Incredible!! You do exercise every time you go out of your house, I love the Italian culture 😋
I really like the everyday videos better! I also really enjoy when you just hang out around your house and garden!
Food shopping and home cooking, I just love it. Looking forward to seeing what veggies you have growing too. Thank you both for doing these amazing videos.
Thank Heaven for Marks and Spencer underground car park on Kings road!
Oh my Nicki! I too love shopping for groceries in my local shops, but I don’t need to get it loaded on a scooter and transported down 500 steps! You and Carlo are extremely fit! And then Carlo took another walk for several hours climbing even more! Well done! So love your vlogs! I, like many of your followers, are more than happy to join in any adventure or task you care to show us in the beautiful part of Italy you call home.
I feel the stress from walking down all the steps with all the groceries while trying to film 😅 thank you for sharing this. It was really interesting to see.
We just spent an amazing week in Positano. How close do you live to La Tagliata?
