Personnel is VERY nice and available to explain you any detail and give you advices. Mandarina is made in Bologna, no wonder they care about it ... actually.. any Mandarina shop is a feast!! Hey... not the cheap dump... quite a pricey place!!

I bought a ladies wallet from Mandarina Duck and it turns out the coin part of the wallet does not…read morehold coins, the coins fall out everywhere when it is snapped closed, complete design flaw, do not buy. I tried to get the company to return/exchange and they refused to stand behind their products. http://d3j3gwnzh9gv18.cloudfront.net/Mandarina/Images/Catalog/FZP56-21V-04-PRDD.JPG

At first, when I saw the massive line at security, I was ready to explode in my too familiar anger…read moreoutburst. However, when we checked our luggage with Air France they kept repeating with that suave European accent, "Just go to the business lounge." "Huh, what about the Maginot line at security?" "You don't have to go to line. You go through security in business lounge." "So I just wave at the hundreds of people waiting in line?" "Si, Si, Si." Yup, I went to the business lounge, had some food and drink, used the fancy toilet, and waltzed through security. I didn't get it, but I take to this kind of elitism easily. It was a wonderful airport experience, and I felt like a celebrity. This is the way to fly.

The ladies are very friendly and fun but English might be somewhat challenging but that just adds to the experience!

Drove in from Firenze today. Had an excellent experience at Gucci Store in Firenze. Service and…read morepurchase experience was a delight. The store didn't have a wallet I wanted also to purchase Stopped in Bologna Gucci store. Did not have my Gucci purse. At store did get profiled. Lucky they let us in. Service was snooty and very unfriendly. Shouldn't matter what I wear or what purse I carry. Very disappointing Would give ZERO star for this particular store if I could

I guess Enterprise is partnering with Locauto in Italy. The guy was in a rush to go out with his…read morefriends, so he rushed through the process, didn't give me enough time to check out the car, promised that it had no scratches (which, luckily it didn't), and simply ran away. We were traveling with two kids, had to ask him to help us with one of the luggages, otherwise was standing there and watching us lift those heavy bags. Poor service, really. It got better in Rome, when I was returning the car. I called them to let them know that I was running a little late, they said "NO PROBLEM MADAM." After I arrived, they charged me for an extra day. I told them I had called them to give them a heads-up, was there absolutely no grace period?? "Yes, Madam, you called, no problem, but the system charged you." I asked them if they could waive it?? The girl looked at me as if I was the most regular stupid American. "No, MADAM, no waive, you were late, system charged you." But I called you, you said no problem? Yes no problem, madam, you called, but they system.... Any way, lost case. I ended up paying for an extra day. NEVER ever will I rent from Enterprise or Locauto.

I rented a Vehicle at the Bologna Airport in November 2015 and ever since this company continues to…read morecharge small amounts consisting of $54, $55, $53, $54 to my credit card. In Feb alone, they charged my card 3 times a total of $165. I guess they're hoping Americans won't mind double digits, small amounts being charged to their cards. I sensed I'd be in trouble the day I returned the vehicle to a Rome, Italy location. The agent seemed to have been using a microscope to look at every square inch of the vehicle. She took an hour before being satisfied that the paint is intact, making me late for my flight. Buyer Beware. I would not rent from them again. Thieves.

Nice block for shopping around here. I got a stainless steel Bialetti for a great price, much…read morecheaper than I could buy anywhere in the states, even Amazon. There are a few other coffee equipment shops, but this one carries all the Bialetti gadgets and it was pretty cool to go so in depth into the brand. It's a small store, so don't expect a ton, but definitely worth a stop inside. I'm not exactly sure if Bialetti is the best or just the most well known... but it's my preferred homebrew style and I am looking forward to my new device.
