My wife and I visited Cosmolena last summer and bought a large set of lovely dishes. One of the selling points is how durable the dishes are, with the sales lady banging the dishes together hard to demonstrate their durabliity and that we would receive our custom order in 6 weeks. We anxiously awaited our delivery for over 3mos and received the lovely dishes after several contacts. At first we were quite pleased but shortly thereafter noted multiple large chips in the dishes. We first emailed, then had to call Italy to get any response. At first they would "look into it" and never got back to us. finally we called again after sending pictures and the best offer was not to replace them but offer us to buy replacements. We told them that was not satisfactory and have never gotten any further responses. Buyer beware I guess but I recommend shopping elsewhere. read more

This place was terrific ! I was renting an apartment in Ravello last month, and happened in this wonderful shop just before having dinner in town one evening. Vincenzo greeted me outside, and we struck up a conversation about Ravello, dining (he recommended eating at Vittoria, just across the way from his shop - which i did , twice, delectable !). I returned to the shop the next morning, intending to buy just a couple of ceramic gifts to bring back to NY; Vincenzo was SOOO helpful, and kind. I wound up purchasing more than I had planned, and he painstakingly bubble-wrapped and then gift-wrapped each item ! He told me about his work for years at Villa Cimbrone (the gardens and Villa which are a MUST-SEE !). Shopping in here was one of the 'gems' of my visit to Ravello, and I shall remember it, and Vincenzo, forever ! read more
