I went to this store in search of buttons, to use on some projects that I knit and crochet. They…read moredo have a decent array of buttons, but you cannot just browse through them, but must be waited on. I have been several times and usually have found the people who work here nice enough--although this last time, the woman helping me was quite rude and it seemed as though it was a chore that i wanted to look at things. Keep in mind that a simple button costs at least 2 euros. I actually ended up spending 21 euros on 4 buttons--so they are definitely not cheap. If you are looking for a store where the people are super helpful, and they want to know what you're making, or give suggestions, this is not the place. You'll be on your own, hoping to find what you're looking for. That being said, the selection is quite good, even if it is expensive.

A great find! I love to find antique/vintage markets to look through on my travels and this is…read moredefinitely a good one. Rome is not short on antique shops or vintage shops but budget ones are rare. This is the American equivalent of an antique mall where several dealers/pickers have their section or glass cabinet full of things up for sale. While this place has things in all price ranges, the selection is big and I could easily find some bargains. I ended up finding an item I liked in one of the locked glass cabinets and I easily spotted a staff member who quickly and in a friendly manner showed it to me, and later, had an English speaking person tell me where to pay and pick it up when I was done looking. The good size clothing section is particularly priced well, I saw nice leather jackets for 25 euro and a nice leather trimmed tote for 15. They of course have the high end name brand stuff section for more. There's a large furniture section which included several mid century Italian design items that would be much much more in the states, for example a 50s Italian love seat with all the right curves and metal peg legs was only 200 euro when I could see it being thousands in the US. The neighborhood is a bit off the way if you're staying in the Vatican/Centro area but near the Termini station, tho surely worth the treck!

One of the best used markets in Rome. Good finds on unusual pieces although some things are a bit…read morepricey. Furniture, clothing, household accessories, kitchen, dvd's, books and music. Worth visiting since it is one of the largest and most selective in the city. It even has a stylish bar inside also with outdoor seating and off street parking.
