Near the E-gate departures area, Sapori d'Italia focuses on bringing Italian food products into your carry-on. This retail shop in Terminal E sits airside, so it works for non-Schengen long-haul departures out of ZRH. Think packaged goods only: no espresso bar, no seating, just shelves you can raid in 5–10 minutes between boarding calls.
Shelves lean hard into Italy: you’ll see boxed pasta, jars of pesto, olive oils, balsamic vinegars, chocolates and regional biscuits, all branded “Sapori d’Italia” or from Italian producers. Prices run in the expected Swiss-airport range, with small chocolate or cookie packs starting around CHF 5–8 and larger gift assortments climbing past CHF 20. It feels more “gift shop with food” than grocery, so you’re paying for packaging and airport rent.
Selection skews toward secure-for-cabin items, so everything is sealed and dry; nothing fresh that will be taken at customs in most countries. That makes it a safer bet than grabbing deli items in landside Zurich if you’re connecting through stricter destinations. If you want wine or spirits, check the nearby duty free in E rather than this shop; Sapori d’Italia here is mainly about pantry goods and sweets, not booze.
Practical tip: if your gate in Terminal E is at the far 60s end, hit Sapori d’Italia on the way down the concourse rather than after you reach the gate; walking back can easily cost 10 minutes once boarding starts.
