The simple task of choosing a tin of sardines becomes a gastronomic adventure as you are guided through your selection by the knowledgeable assistants. It may appear as if one needs a platinum card to fill his or her shopping basket, but the selection is so cosmopolitan that, as manager miguel angel Pietro says, "To be a gourmet doesn't always require money."
