Officina della Pelle

Edison bookstore in Lucca is situated in a former bank and retains the strong and secure feeling…read morethat one gets from a magnificent old building. The selection of books in Italian is very good, though there is limited access to books in other languages. The staff is friendly and helpful, especially if there is a book or a subject matter that you are seeking. The café is wonderful; the couple who runs the restaurant is friendly and many of the foods are prepared by them. The food is reasonably priced and the seating provides a comfortable atmosphere to review books, magazines, and for just talking.

(Tina Fey, 30 Rock). One half is a little coffee bar with pastries and a large seating area. The other half is a little bookstore. I don't speak Italian, so I couldn't tell you if they specialize in any particular books, but it's a very modern, attractive, clean space! We ordered an espresso macchiato, an espresso con panna and a little croissant sandwich. There were different options, which we didn't realize- vegetariano, salami, and others. We had the veggie one, and it was delicious.

I stopped into this very clean, very pleasing game/ book/ hobby shop on a whim. The man at the…read morecounter was originally speaking to another employee and didn't seem to think much of me entering the store, although I was the only customer. I found a game to bring back to the states for a friend of mine. When I brought it to the counter to pay, I was still shown no excitement or welcome. I simply paid and was on my way. The shop itself is definitely worth a visit. I would appreciate a little more acknowledgement or welcome as a customer, but I would certainly give the place a second try!

They even have beautiful old antique Italian tiles but even the tiles are 40€ or more. Everything was outrageously expensive in my view, even small things were 100€ or more often 300 to 400€.
