Well, you SAID no rules, so here's my list....I always visit grocery/food stores when I travel.
1. Mercato Centrale in Florence, Italy: technically, no, it's not a supermarket. It is an indoor market with various stalls (butcher, produce, seafood, etc). Everything is beautifully displayed, but the best part is the stall Nerbone, which serves food to mostly market workers & locals. Ribollita, beef sandwiches that are dipped in the cooking liquid right before serving, etc. Like dis:
2. Ferry Building Farmer's Market. Yes, another one that's technically not a supermarket, but the farmer's market to end all markets. A ludicrously beautiful display of California bounty, right on SF Bay.
3. Tie between my two favorites in Rome: Volpetti and Castroni.

Nerbone is awesome.
1. Berkeley Bowl - the best produce and all around grocery store I have ever been to. Even manages to overcome being in Berkeley, CA.
2. Woodland Mkt - Kentfield CA - small local store with fantastic produce, great meat, and a incredible wine selection.
3. Central Mkt - pretty comprehensive
4. Mollie Stones - a regional chain. In NorCal, good produce, great meat, great wine selection.
5. Whole Foods - I generally find Whole Foods to be consistent with high quality content including prepared foods. That said, the one in my town doesn't sell wine, and the bakery sucks.
