Great local bookstore in North Beach, SF. I forgot about my book o specially ordered and they contacted me to come pick it up. Really appreciate and happy to have them in the city

To me, the most important measure of a bookstore is whether it engages you and presents a new author or a new title by a familiar author. During a visit to SF, I was able to stop by for just a few minutes, but found several books, including La Romana by Moravia and Microcosmi by Magris. Libreria Pino doesnt have everything — no store does — but it has plenty of books in both Italian and English for everyone from beginning language learners to those who have been reading Italian most of their lives and want to discover something new. This store is a local treasure and gives North Beach a welcome note of authentic intellectual flavor in italiano.

I ordered several books online from this bookstore. They were sent to me by the end of the day that I had ordered them, and they arrived in excellent quality 2 days before expected. I am very much enjoying the books that I purchased, and will definitely be ordering from Libreria Pino again!

Outstanding customer service! I needed a couple of books very quickly, and given the current situation nobody was able to deliver. It took me only a phone call to Libreria Pino to place an order on Saturday and have the books I needed in less than 48 hours. Great selection and outstanding service at no extra charge.

Very good selection of recent Italian books as well as classics. Nice place just to stop by, chat with the owner and peruse the collection of books and music. You will find something to buy in person or online.

I was visiting San Francisco and had time to visit book stores. I was looking for cheap comic books to read and bring home to the kids. Stopped by this place and was pleasantly surprised. Has an old timey library feel to it, in a good way. It was quiet and a couple of young kids running around, that made it feel homey too. They had a couple of comic boxes that I proceeded to dig into. Managed to get about 50 comics, way more than I expected. I will come back.

This is the BEST bookstore in San Francisco.It is also a great place to donate books.If you havent been there yet, treat yourself!

Libreria Pino replaced Cykel bike shop with a good variety of Italian books as well as for kids too. Small quaint shop with two aisle of bookshelves is all there is. Owners are locals themselves and have been in the business for quite some time. Good shop to gather some books on how to read or pronounce Italian. Best deal is to grab a book and spread yourself on the grass at Washington Square Park just down the street.

Great selection of audio books, fast service and fair prices. I am so glad I came across this site on line. I will use them often. Robert DiAntonio, St. Louis.

Great people. Nice area, good variety. I will go back after I finish reading the three books I bought.
