We visited this store many years ago , 2001. The items were just amazing. I found a baby grand…read morepiano music box there that was so beautiful. I was not able to purchase it then. Is there a way to find out how I could make that purchase now? Thanks! Ginger. Jenjutso@cox.net.

My wife and I found this store on our trip to Italy in July of this year. They have amazing wood…read moreinlayed furniture and some of the best prices around. Peppe thier head sales guy/owner was very nice to work with and gave us a better price. We bought a game table and for chairs. The purchase was very expensive. We paid with our AMEX card. Peppe said we would get the furniture in 5 weeks, middle of august. When I called in August he let me know the factory was closed and they they would not be open till Sept. In July they did not tell us they need to make the table. I waited a few more weeks called again and they said that we should get it in another few weeks. I sent several emails in Sept to get the status and have not gotten any word back. It's been close to 3 months since we ordered it and they've had our money. While they have great products, they have terrible customer communication. A simple email every week updating me would be helpful. I've turned the situation over to AMEX to resolve that either we get the merchandise in the next week or 2 or we need to cancel the order and give us our money back.

Walking along Via Giuliani with no particular destination in mind, I saw a gorgeous blue-green…read moreMurano glass bowl sitting in a storefront window. I immediately made a beeline into Atmosfera. The light was hitting the glass just right, and it was positively luminous. Murano glass has been made for centuries on the Venetian island of Murano. In the past, I have always purchased some kind of jewelry made of Murano glass when I've been in Italy, as it is a symbol of the beautiful country. However, when I saw this large piece of art in Atmosfera's window, I knew I had to have it. It was a statement piece that I could always have out as a daily reminder of my treasured memories, exploring the Amalfi Coast with my husband. The price was nearly €400 when you add in the €150 to ship. I feared it was a little sketchy when I was told I had to pay the shipping cost separately (and in cash) and worried that the shipping cost was excessive due to me being a tourist. I left my email address and was told I would be emailed the tracking info after it was shipped. After 12 days, I still had not received word from the store and there was no package to be seen. I called and spoke to whom I believe was the owner or manager and he asked me to email him, since his English reading and writing skills were more proficient. I sent off an email the next day and the package happened to arrive the very day I emailed the store. Seeing the size of the box and how well it was packaged, I no longer doubt the cost. --I've shipped sizable boxes from Europe before and for that size, €150 seems accurate. The store had many beautiful pieces and the sales associate was very sweet and certainly helpful. My only reason for giving them a 4-star instead of a 5, is because they didn't email me with tracking as they promised. Even an email saying they'd shipped it would have been nice. To drop that kind of money and then go 12 days without any word, any shipping info, or any product was a little distressing for me. With my gorgeous bowl sitting on the buffet table in my kitchen, all of the stress is forgotten though. Now when I look at my bowl, all I remember are my beautiful memories of strolling along those narrow, cobblestone streets with my husband on the most romantic vacation I have ever been on.

I was drawn to this beautiful little spot during afternoon and evening strolls around Sorrento…read more It's a lovely store, they have a beautiful selection of murano glass pieces but my eye caught a clock -- so simple, so beautiful - hand made in Verona. I had to have it. The sales people were so sweet, very helpful. My package arrived when expected, packed beautifully. And every day I smile when I look at this beautiful memory from a beautiful vacation. Highly recommend !

During our June vacation in Italy, on our last night in Sorrento, we discovered a wonderful ceramic…read moreshop named "STINGA INTARS" and purchased several items for shipment back to our home in New York. The pieces were exquisite, but we were worried about bringing them back in our luggage, so we were delighted when the proprietor offered to construct a wooden crate (with styrofoam padding) and ship them (for a modest fee). He did warn us that it would take several weeks for delivery. However,it is now over two months and no crate has yet arrived! We did receive one cardboard box containing only two of the items (but one of these, a small spaghetti gauge, was broken due to padding with newspaper only) We anxiously await the remainder of our shipment from this otherwise fine establishment.
