A wonderful place--we really enjoyed browsing the books here with our kids. We ended up with some great new books, and staff was friendly and helpful. This is in the Spanish Steps neighborhood. read more

Support your local - and not-so-local bookstore!…read more Visited Rome last week and while enjoying Campo de Fiori and Taba Cafe saw this place. I just started learning Italian half a year ago so thought I'd drop in and see if I could find a modern Italian novel that doesn't have post-modern Italian, but something I could reliably derive grammar and vocab from. So I tried my best to get that across to the bearded gentleman who I suspect is the proprietor. What a great guy. His English may not be perfect, but it's far better than my Italian! We went from that brief exchange to some chatting about Italian cinema and Monica Vitti. He pointed out the cool vintage movie posters decorating this place. May seem like a little thing, but experiences like this just made me love visiting Rome all the more. Grazie mille!

We walked in and an older gentleman in the front walked away from us without a greeting. The store has no rhyme or reason to it. Nothing is marked and there are no sections, just books everywhere. Another gentleman walked by us without a greeting and finally asked us if we needed help since we probably looked lost. My husband showed him a photo of 4 books and without even really looking, he blew us off and said no. The whole experience was strange and these were the first rude people we had to deal with after two days in Rome. Even if they had the books, we would have left without buying them because both men were rude and seemed to not want us in their empty bookstore. Perhaps they would have more business if they were a bit friendlier.
One of the great bookstores in Italy, Tombolini is the oldest and most distinguished bookstore in…read moreRome. It has been a crossroads for the most disparate figures from the cultural and political scene, but, more importantly, it hosts a number of volumes that you would be hard pressed to find anywhere else. From history to philology, to literature, to the occult, Tombolini has volumes from all ages and is especially well stocked in out-of-print books. Make this venerable bookstore a destination, if you are in Rome and if you love books.
This review is for my recent online purchase. I haven't visited this particular location, but I've…read morebeen a customer at other locations in the past. I was so happy that they were able to fulfill my order of English language museum guides. I had been very disappointed that the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli didn't have any on hand. I'm guessing it's because so many people buy the Electa published guides. They are always so well done. Well, fortunately Feltrinelli had them in stock. I was also able to find one for the Museo Ostiense, which I neglected to buy when I was there. The prices are fair, and the shipment was delivered in a very short amount of time. The online ordering system was very clear. I couldn't be happier. I wouldn't hesitate to use this service again in the future. Thank you so much!!

Three different employees that I asked to point me in the right direction were so rude, had grimaces on their faces, acted like I was a total bother to them. When making a purchase at the register the rude cashier didn't even open the bag, half shoved my book inside and pushed it across the counter. And I try to use as much Italian as I can, so it's not like I'm acting like an entitled American. We've been in Italy for two weeks, 3 cities, stayed in luxury hotels as well as dreary urban areas and these are the rudest, most unfriendly people that we've encountered.

It was the books that drew us in, but decided to stay and grab a bite to eat. I had a chicken sandwich and my fiance has a caesar salad. Both dishes were delicious! They were very flavorful and the most American meal we had while in Rome. My sandwich also came with fries which were perfect. They had an extensive wine list and many patrons were just having a glass of wine and sharing small appetizers. The ambiance was quaint, and would recommend this spot.

Ahhh, but this is part of its charm. The place has a quiet and cozy atmosphere. There are books and reading material aplenty. They have fresh (real) orange juice (albeit it was a bit pricey at 4 euros for a small glass). They have a wide array of prepared breakfast items ranging from yogurt with granola, to sandwiches, to postres. Be on the look out for it's big red sign and stop in for a peaceful way to start your day!

This place is pretty awesome and is a place all movie geeks should check out. Movie nerds, you will adore browsing this shop! While it's primarily a bookstore, the place is stuffed with cool postcards, vintage movie posters (mostly replicas but still fun to browse), and wall to wall movie themed books. Really, there are tons of cool movie books in both Italian and English. There were a bunch of local regulars hanging out when we went, which added to the atmosphere. Don't miss the floor, it's a work of art.

With two floors and lots to peruse, don't get too wrapped up or you'll miss the train you're here to catch. You won't find comfy chairs or places to sit while browsing, and the aisles can be tight for those toting luggage, but those negatives didn't detract enough to dissuade me from spending time here. Prices are full retail so there are not a lot of bargains to be found, but when killing time in Termini Station I'd be hard pressed for a better way to do so.

REVIEW FOR MOSTLY CHILDREN ITEM RELATED…read more This is where you can find books written in Italian or English. Staff can only speak very limited English. There was no staff in the children area to ask me if I needed any help but they do that other areas with info stands. I was on a budget. The books I bought mostly cost about $1.2- $4 per Italian written book. Some were sets so that how I was able pay under $3. I bought about 40 books here for age 0-3. I love that they had a good select of children books. They had over 20 children books with CDs but those cost $10+ each. But I was disappointed in their return policy. I was able to find somewhere I can buy lots of children books for only $3 for books that retail price is up to $15 so I decided to try to return some that I bought here. I didn't notice a sign like in the U.S about the policy. But it turn out that there policy is that you can only exchange and it needs to be a book for book or cd for cd. I was also disappointed that there was no promotions going on. Not sure if they just aren't into giving promotions in Italy. They only offered a discount for only a few children books. The children area didn't have any used books or toys for the kids to play with like others I've been to in other countries. It has 3 floors but only a section on the lower floor has a children area which included toys. It has stationary, adult books, DVDs, CDs. They have an elevator but no toliet (banjo) or cafe inside. This place closed at 8:30pm which was nice.
