I am way overdue and leaving this review. We discovered this fantastic costume shop one summer…read morewhile wandering around in Venice. It's unassuming exterior does not do justice to the beautiful costumes inside. Although we were not in the market for buying a costume, we were very happy to discover that they created exquisite masquerade masks. After several days of looking at hordes and hordes and hordes of mass produced, Chinese - made masks in all the souvenir shops, it was a relief to finally discover true artisans! Flavia was a very hospitable shopkeeper. She went out of her way to demonstrate all the different kinds of costumes that they provided, showed us pictures of amazing balls that they helped host, fantastical costumes she had created... We didn't just purchase wonderful masks; we had a cultural experience! Thank you Flávia for providing us such a unique experience!!

We came to spend a few days in Venice and knew right off the bat we were going to get some sort of…read moremask as souvenir. Masks seems to be a thing in Venice. Some are little more than a painted mask with some painted designs to them. And some as intricate as a work of art. Such is this shop. Joie de Vivre is not a souvenir shop, this is a specialty store that carries only masks and some puppets. We were talking to the son of the owner who told us his father makes every single mask, he has been doing it for 30 years and learned the craft from his grandfather. We couldn't really take pictures but trust me when I tell you these masks are amazing. They are so intricate I only bought a small one because of lack of space in my luggage, but even so I would've been remiss to buy one and not being able to bring it back to the US intact. They are too pretty to just throw in a suitcase.

An amazing time creating your own mask with superb coaching. Definitely a must do in Venice!!read more

From the owner: This can seems a dream.... but it's the story of my life…read more.... To be born in Venice is a privilege, but it's a big luck to have a father in love with arts and a mother seamstress.. I've breathed all of this since i was a child, among the "calli" and the Venetian Palaces, and it has been the most natural thing to transform it into my work. The mesmerizing charm of Venetian Masks and Historical Costumes is the same in times. The pleasure of disguising game attracts every year countless people and hide oneself behind a mask is an irresistible attraction. A Masked Ball can be the dream of an entire life. But what's the work behind all of this? Finished my languages studies i began as employee by whom thaught me a lot, leaving me free to experiment with my first masks and costumes.. Over the years i developed my techniques and my own style. Masks have to be worn like sparkling jewels to enhance the glamourous spirit of Carnival, and the costumes, even if following the original style of their centuries, have to shine on their own light with gold, silver, cristals to make the game even more magical. I have named my Atelier "Sogno Veneziano" because to come to our city is everyone's dream, and live the misterious atmosphere of Venice is a unique experience. I like to think the best is yet to come!! Inside the Atelier you'll find a rich and always renewed collection of Costumes and Masks. You only find one of kind pieces, that has been created respecting the tradition of handwork.

Beautiful mask shop in Venice. I have bought a few masks here over the years and it was one of my…read morefavorite shops. Family owned and operated. Everything is made by hand. They also offer shipping. Make sure you stop by.

It was pouring rain and Sergio let me watch him paint a wall mask and was kind enough to let me hang out. I purchased a set of card masks and he shipped them to me just as he said he would. We are very pleased with the masks. Sergio signed and dated the cards. I would hope to return again another time in the future.

I needed a quick fix to get through the rest of our trip, and Chanel was the perfect stop for a save! A girl's best friend and an early birthday gift,LOL. and... my husband remembered where he saw the Chanel store. The staff was incredibly attentive and helpful, making me feel cared for. I tried on several pairs of sunglasses before finally choosing a stunning black and silver pair that complemented my style perfectly. Vacation eyes saved.

Not sure why it's even open... if you have no stock with anything... just close the store...? No?…read moreLOL We waited about 10mins... and once inside the sales associate basically says "we have no stock of any kind"... OK... then why are you open? Ridiculous. The SA was also very rude. I only wanted to browse... I wasn't interested in buying anything in particular... my friends were actually looking for something, like SLG... but the SA kept pushing some fugly pink cloth cushion bag to me and I kept saying "no thank you...". Then I realized it was because I was carrying my Kelly... and my friends weren't carrying brand name handbags for that day... bc we were visiting for only a few hours in Venice. Wow, how opportunistic of the SA. You should always treat your customers the same. Little did she know, my 2 girlfriends are bigger spenders than me. Jokes on her. Ugh, I would not recommend anyone going here at all.

Crust was thinking and ingredients were great, also just enough cheese to compliment the pizza without overtaking the dish Spaghetti Alfredo -- rich and delicious! Super creamy and again, plenty enough for two if you're wanting to just share an entrée Panna Cotta -- creamy and so good, refreshing dessert! I probably could've eaten two of these

#268-2016: Located…read morein Roveredo's industrial area, alongside Aviano Air Base, this Unieuro serves quite a large amount of costumers (resulting in inevitable delays in delivering big appliances). I found it far easier to purchase my appliances but declining transport and installation. Saved quite the penny and didn't have to try and fit my schedule around their impossible delivery time frames ("we'll come between 9:30 and 16:30"). Like any other Unieuro branch, this location honors sale coupons advertised both online and through flyers. However, due to limited floor capabilites, back orders may need to be implemented (causing further delays). Prices on items vary from competitive to outrageous (specially with AC units starting mid spring). This store shares a parking lot with both a furniture store and a shoe outlet, therefore it might get pretty busy during the weekend.

The artist or the craft lady not sure what to call her is super friendly and she doesn't mind trying every thing and taking pictures. She sits their and makes masks in front of you. The place is amazing i wanted to cry not to afford anything there, but still a pleasure to be there and to look at her amazing work. The prices are expensive but absolutely worth every euro. She uses real crystals and the pieces are exotic not like any other shop.
