Essentials There’s not much shopping in Italy, a highly undeveloped town, but there are choices in Naples, which is only 8 miles west. Naples has a decent business center, with several restaurants and a few bars and small stores. For grocery shopping, Naples has a Shurfine Food Shop and the Naples Arrow Mart on Main Street. Prattsburgh in neighboring Steuben County is about 12 miles south and has small stores like Prattsburgh Market Place and Arrow Mart. Penn Yan, about 16 miles east, has a Tops Friendly Markets store for grocery shopping and smaller stores like Ace Hardware. Your best bet for a wider variety of shopping and entertainment options is in Canandaigua in neighboring Ontario County, which is about 24 miles northwest of Italy. For grocery shopping, Canandaigua has a Wegmans supermarket and a Tops Friendly Markets store; for retail shopping, Canandaigua has a Walmart Supercenter and other major retailers along the well-traveled Routes 5 & 20. Students who live in Italy attend the Naples Central School District or the Marcus Whitman Central School District. The Naples Public Library serves residents here. The closest hospitals are Soldiers & Sailors in Penn Yan, Noyes Memorial in Dansville (25 miles west), and F.F. Thompson in Canandaigua. |
