"I am a big fan of Italian coffee, and was searching for a particular set of cups to serve it. I tried many sites, even the manufacturer of the cups, and wasn't able to purchase them. Polly at the Italian Shop responded quickly. They were able to find the set, and ship it to me across the globe in a manner of less than a week. I received a well packaged set of 6 cups and saucers in excellent condition. I was also surprised at how affordable they were. The Italian Shop came through for me and they will for you too!"

Ancient olive wood is not only very beautiful, but it is also a truly sustainable resource. Although olive trees live for hundreds of years, they eventually stop producing olives and are then classed as ancient. Their trunks and branches become thick, gnarled and twisted, and it is this wood that is used in the creation of beautiful wooden artifacts...
"Finding The Italian Shop was the happiest of accidents! I come from a very large, and very proud, Italian-American family and I was in need of a last minute Christmas gift for a family member. After a quick search, I found The Italian Shop and all the wonderful Italian artisan-crafted goods featured on their website, and I knew right then and there that I would be purchasing something from the shop. Instead of Christmas, I ordered a gorgeous cheeseboard for my Uncle's birthday. Polly, who handles their customer service, was nothing short of amazing in helping me pick out the perfect gift and keeping me informed along the process (she even took pictures of my board before it shipped!). The board arrived early, which was fantastic because the party ended up happening sooner than expected, and was beyond everyone's hopes and expectations. My Uncle is over the moon in love with the quality of the olive wood (he's a carpenter, himself), and the mouse/knife holder is a cute touch that everyone gets a kick out of. The Italian Shop should be on everyone's short list of gift options. The only downside has been the envy that the board has caused, because now I need to order something for my mother, my sisters, my Aunt... Good thing the options are reasonably priced! "

Italy has had a long tradition in silk production, which reached Europe from China around AD 550. Although Chinese silk was known in the Roman Empire, and was even mentioned by Homer in 'The Odyssey, and by Aristotle, who talked about a wild silk textile from the island of Kos...

Christmas in Italy is an important time for families to get together. It is a quiet period, much less commercialised than in some other parts of the world.
"Ordering two Christmas gifts from The Italian Shop this past season has been one of the nicest experiences I have had for years. From the first moment I discovered the website I could see that this was something special. And when the gorgeous, hand-carved bowls arrived here in the USA, in time for Christmas (just as promised!), I was more than right! Two lovely and quite different pieces, carved especially for my order, beautifully made, beautifully finished, packed to withstand the bomb, and with thorough instructions on their care. Needless to say, the recipients are thrilled! In this era of slipshod merchandise - plastic, fiberboard, or otherwise - these beautiful bowls will live forever, just as beautiful as they are now. Polly was marvellous at keeping me informed of their progress, and handled all of the import paperwork as well. Wonderful!"

"My order arrived yesterday, which was a lot faster than I expected since it was coming from Italy. The packaging was well done and nothing was damaged in transit. The olive wood bowls are beautiful! Just magnificent! I admire both the beauty of the wood and the craftsmanship required to make them. My experience with your company has been very good, especially since I was a little nervous about buying goods from overseas - a lot can go wrong, but it did not. In fact, everything went very well indeed." Ashley C. (USA)
