Opening hours for most shops are generally from 8.30 am to 12.30 and from 5.00 until 7.30pm. Almost all close on Sunday - except cake and fresh pasta shops - and for half a day
during the week depending on the town. There are, however, many out-of-town hypermarkets (look out for Iper-this and Iper-that) opening up near larger places that are open all day,
often including Sundays.The typical grocer's shop - alimentari - has most of the food on shelves for you to help yourself, except for the delicatessen counter for cheese, cold meats,
etc., where you also need to ask for bread. When ordering from the delicatessen counter, most things are sold in units of etti (un'etto/due etti) one etto is 100 grams or slightly less
than a quarter pound. For small quantities it is common to use a half etto (un mezz'etto).
