I'd meant to review this pedestrian mall a couple weeks ago. Galleria Alberto Sordi is a wonderful…read morelittle shopping area with a handful of name brands and Italian designers. Clean and well-kept, its aesthetics are in keeping with Roman expectations. High fashion and elegant stores come together in a relaxed setting. It is also a great place to caffeinate and satisfy a sweet tooth. Algorithmic references: exceptional service, unsurpassed value, money well spent.

Ground floor is the big names (Prada, Vuitton etc), then there's 2 floors each for men/women. The top floor has restaurants/food - a great place to grab gifts. I had an incredibly delicious mortadella panini up there and really, it wasn't overpriced. Don't sleep on the basement - that's home stuff. Italian design is incredible, I'd love to buy everything! Tax refund is down here too, if you spend more than €70, remember your passport and SAVE!

My boyfriend and I came here for a shopping and browsing break. Here are the layout of their floors: -1 | exhibition area, design supermarket, furniture and lighting, office & travel 0 | jewelry and watches, accessories, sunglasses 1 | beauty, beauty bar, jewelry 2 | fashion menswear, shoes 3 | classic and smart casual menswear, denim bar, underwear, accessories 4 | luxury womenswear, shoes 5 | modern and contemporary womenswear, denim bar, lingerie, accessories 6 | foodhall and terrace, café and restaurants, food markets and wine shop 7 | restaurants and terrace I was curiously browsing my beloved Burberry because I heard rumors that the Italians hate England, so Burberry is the cheapest in Italy. It didn't seem all that much cheaper. I had the most fun on the 6th floor browsing the food market and exploring the food hall and terrace. Umm, and FREE BATHROOM ALERT!! Public bathrooms are NOT free in Italy so these are some nice clean free ones. A nice break to escape the crowds and smoke in the city.

Initially our goal was to get our VAT refund out of the way but ended up shopping for a passport holder and ring at Louis Vuitton. Tourist trap lol. Joking aside this is a one stop shop for people who hates walking around Via Condotti ... it's a real workout. So go ahead enjoy and splurge your hard end $$$... you won't regret it ! Wink wink

At the very top of the building, floor 6 or 7, you will find that there is an entire floor dedicated to a Cafe, hosted by a handful of separate diners to choose from. The options range from pizza, to sushi, to sandwiches, or just coffee and pastries. Come on in, look at the splendor of the clothing you can't afford, enjoy the wafts of perfume, walk past the service members starring you down, and then enjoy a snack up top. Even if you don't buy anything, it looks damn fancy and it's a refreshing spot with free wifi, and a pokestop nearby.

My experience in the middle of the day allowed me to get through within 25 minutes. The stores and restaurants had all the duty-free items you may want at a somewhat marked up price in my view. Bathrooms were clean and timely as well - with a lot of privacy and space. Overall, I found myself comfortable in my time here - not bad!

Lol, I bought this cool looking French potato sack for veggies for $15! And a bag of chips and Italian condiments for another $15! I guess it's Rome's smaller version of Harrod's. It had a food shop along with the cosmetics and pricey clothes. Security every where along with myriads of shop girls. The down side is the bathroom! Only 2 or 3 stalls in the ladies' WC and no soap at the sinks! Well, at least, I couldn't find it.

My visit to the OVS department store in Rome was nice because they had many selections, similar to a Macy's in the USA and prices were very reasonable. Purrrrr. However, I was looking for clothing made in Italy and most of the items I saw were made in Bangladesh or other countries, Hisssss. That's also the reason the prices were reasonable. No problem though, I simply stepped out and found all the items that were made in Italy in the many big , medium, and small stores all around Rome. Purrrrr.

These custom belts are made of Buffalo leather and according to Internet, should be much tougher and last longer without looking bad a year . These belts were customized by the store to my specifications as to belt holes location and waist size.
