We were SCAMMED BY ALESSIO in October 2015 : Purchased a…read morelarge "David" statue -$1648.00 , to include shipping and insurance, arraigned to have it sent later so we would be home in Texas to receive it. Before we got back we were notified of third final attempted delivery. We had to travel to SanAntonio to get it , (50 miles), upon opening the package we discovered it was Shattered! We notified Alessio and were told to "be patient" it would take time to process the paperwork, then we noticed the package had been MISLABELED as a 33 lb. "Vase" and only insured for $1000.00 ( the Statue weighed upwards of 70 lbs. ). Now after months of calls and e-mails, Lies and Stories - We have NOTHING ! That LIAR ALESSIO has played deaf and dumb - ignores calls and e-mails, resisting all attempts to settle our claim. We are fed up with the run around and excuses we've been put through. DONT SHOP HERE !!! Find an honest place to patronize. We are returning to Florence and we are going to visit crooked Alessio in person !!! BUYERS BEWARE !!! DISHONEST SHOPKEEPER !!!

There are too many gift shops to sort through while shopping in Italy- but this one is a must-stop if you're in the area. Well curated selection of unique goods and staffed by good people, highly recommend Fabrica Features!

If I was going to rate it any lower it would be from the smell of truffles that seems to be ever-present these days in most food establishments in Italy. Pro-tip- The bar in the center of the joint has a bunch of Valentino Rossi paraphernalia, so this tells me that if you're ever in Florence when Moto GP is on, you might want to check this place out for a drink while the race is on. Might be a good time.

It is…read moreone of the most interesting retail space / cross media studio to check out in the Oltrarno area. Betty's curated home decor items, jewelries and artisanal hand crafted gifts are as unique and whimsical as her calligraphy works. When I was walking through her paper cut filled store, I felt like I was entering Betty's creative mind. I found a lot of unique gifts designed by Betty for myself and friends in the store. Packaging was awesome. Betty personally put the item in the box and sprinkled with confetti for me. She is such a sweet person. All retail shops and art galleries on Via Maggio close between 1 to 3pm. If you got there after 3pm but it's still not open yet, hang around.... Betty or her husband may be just across the street chatting with friends.
