Welschland
In addition to offering 20 different varieties of raclette and a carefully curated cheese counter, the small Romandy satellite on Zweierstrasse excels with extremely knowledgeable staff who always sell you the right cheese. Rumor has it that they also have the best fondue mix in the city.
Mitton
New and in the heart of the district 4: the Italian delicatessen store Mitton. Cappelli dello chef con salsiccia e radicchio, Stelle con burrata e pera, or Cestini al Brasato - what more could one want? Excellent handmade pasta and much more can be found Tuesdays through Saturdays at Giorgio's Mitton. Additionally, there's a rotating takeout lunch menu.
J.B. Labat
One would actually love to live here; the woody interior certainly invites you to linger. Before the creators behind Labat ventured into the spirits business, they had already operated several bars. And you can feel that. The selection of spirits is extensive; they also have their own rum line and offer bitters. Additionally, rare rums (single cask releases) are available. A must-visit for all spirit enthusiasts and cocktail lovers.

Mini Metzg
The Südhang Mini Metzg in the Markthalle of the Viadukt arches represents a shift in meat culture and the consistent utilization of all parts of the animals. Small but exquisite, with heart and brain.
Nishi
At Nishi, not far from Milchbuck, you can find a variety of Japanese groceries for purchase. This includes the best instant ramen noodles and a plethora of familiar and unfamiliar (soy) sauces.
Berg und Tal
There are now two Berg und Tal locations, which is just right because we believe: the more, the better. Berg und Tal impresses with a carefully selected range and high-quality products. From sauces to chocolate to sausage, you'll find what you're looking for.
Beat Heuberger
Beat Heuberger is the spice guru of the city, and what a guru he is. The assortment impresses with a sheer variety of different spices, from the Arabic Za'atar and Garam Masala to various chili varieties – chefs and home cooks can find everything their hearts desire here. The chili specialist also cultivates seeds for chili plants. People come from far and wide for seeds and seedlings.
Patrizia Fontana
Fresh ravioli, homemade pasta, tiramisu, or white truffles from Piedmont – at Patrizia Fontana's shop on Scheuchzerstrasse, you'll find everything an Italian heart desires or what a longing tourist, whose vacation in the land of pasta and lasagna is once again too far away, could wish for. Shopping experience included.
Schwarzenbach
The traditional house in Zurich has been around since 1864 and impresses with high-quality fine spices, select dried fruits, exquisite variations of vinegar and oils, tea rarities, and chocolate. Additionally, coffee from the in-house roastery can be purchased and enjoyed right away in the espresso bar. Be sure to try the candied orange slices with chocolate – they are the best in Zurich.
Genovas
For those who have enjoyed Pinsa in the evening sun on Idaplatz, accompanied by a glass of rosé, they know that a piece of Italy is at home in Wiedikon. Genovas is a family business as if taken from a storybook: far from home in the Molise region, the father fulfilled his dream of owning a shop in Zurich's District 3. Today, the youngest daughter Anastasia runs the specialty store and bistro in the second generation, with her three siblings also actively helping out. Sugo, passata, wine, preserves, dolce – the full pampering program in true Italian style.
