14 Vinyl Record Stores in Rome

Best!

They don't answer

Tucked away in a suburb of Rome, this store is well worth a visit for both vinyl and CD hunters. Friendly staff and a good stock of well curated vinyl. I was looking for New Wave but they also have other genres such as Jazz, Funk. 70s rock etc. Prices are about right for the market.

Was looking for Italian soul classics the shop has a corner with Italian Stuff. Bought 2 original albums of Lucio Battisti and Pino Daniele. At affords prices. They also have few shelf’s Latin music and African stuff ( mainly new RE, RP ), lots of jazz. Nice selection any way. As a disadvantage shop has no facility to listen records! But owner was so kind to offer wi-fi and you can YouTube them, of course if they are uploaded ))

Great place, specially for Jazz, Avant-garde and experimental. Owner knows a lot about the Italian jazz and experimental scene and had some great recommendations. The bar outside is a vibe too!

Friendly owner. Was not impressed by second hand Jazz selection. Also some new records. Shop has a surprising layout.

Very nice little shop in a thriving neighborhood, a good selection of CDs and Vynil, mostly jazz but also some classic rock and psychedelia.

Great service , if you’re looking for specific record thy will have it New records Service very knowledgeable

Loved this record store!! My favorite artists and their records/albums were all here! Store is very nice and has a wide selection of artists.

So nice and clean store. Good selection in albums. By that I mean records I love. Recommended

It's Amazing you can find anything from tapes, CDs and Vinyls to merchandise, audio devices, gadgets, etc. Good prices everything in order, very recommended.

This is the best record shop I've ever been to. Amazing collection and decent prices on most records.

My partner and I were recommended this shop by a family friend who lives in the neighbourhood. We went in one evening and ended up browsing for over an hour and buying several records! We then came back for seconds the following morning. Elastic Records has a wonderful selection of new and second hand albums, singles and compilations. I particularly loved their selection of Italian progressive rock. We mainly stuck to the vinyl room, but the CD selection was equally impressive! The owner was lovely - though I confess that my partner did all the talking, as I don't speak very good Italian yet.

A very good record store, excellent service from its owners, family business, variety, good prices! I'll be back!

One of the best record store in Rome if you are a collector of CDs! Good titles, second hand and brand new ones. Worth the visit

Fantastic shop, really worth a visit. Make sure you check out the room on the left as you come in as well as the racks at the back next to the cash register. The prices are very fair

Very nice man with good selection of jazz and funk LPs and some lots of rock Pop and cds too... Nice and messy with some memorabilia jotted about the shop too .... Unfortunately unable to find my want from the discogs stock but plenty of other bits at fair rates ... Early Ashra Temple lp and 83 Roy Ayers Lp on uno melodic were the highlights...

Amazing small but mighty music store that has everything you need. Instruments, sheet music, repairs, and everything in between. The owners are extremely knowledgeable, kind and gracious.

*5 stars without a doubt! ⭐* I left that music store with a smile 😊. The staff was super kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. The store is well-stocked; they have everything! The best part? They let me try my favorite guitar (a Crafter HD 100 CE 😏) both acoustic (unplugged) and amplified... it felt like I was playing in heaven 🤘. TOP recommendation for anyone looking for serious instruments and advice. I'll definitely be back!

Excellent shop selling musical instruments and accessories near the center of Montagnola. The store is well-organized and features a variety of instruments, with various options for each. The owner is very kind and knowledgeable and will be happy to advise and accommodate your needs. I recommend this shop to anyone in Montagnola or the surrounding areas. Congratulations, and see you soon! 👏🏽🙏🏽

A historic business, established since the early 1980s, run with friendliness and professionalism. The equipment offered, both in terms of quantity and quality, is well-suited to the local demand. Special requests can be accommodated by appointment. The assistance, repair, and maintenance service is excellent.

A shop that combines sales with excellent customer service and maintenance. I personally used the lutherie service for an electric guitar and appreciated the owner's great professionalism. He was able to offer me honest advice (even against his own business interests) regarding a pickup change I had planned. My sincere thanks for the advice! D.

best street-punk & subcultures records and books store... five stars!

A hub for the cultural scene, first in Rome and then in Bologna. A place to stop by for a record, a book, or even just a chat. I recommend everyone visit.

Excellent record shop with books and T-shirts, too. Occasionally (like this time) there's live music.

When you can't find materials, for various reasons, you shouldn't hold it against the customer, especially when they haven't been informed of the order process. The "gentleman" who runs the shop deserved a different response, one that would have been appropriate given his rudeness and aggressiveness. If you're unable to communicate with people, it's best to change careers.

Roman legend. On Via Nomentana I bought Red Alert at 15, and at 17 I was selling records like all skrewed up. I remember Roberto because the smell of those vinyls and CDs was like a drug for all those young skinheads we dreamed of... THAT SHOP WAS A KLASSE KRIMINALE COVER... A BUSINNESS VINYL... A GET YOU STRENGTH TRHRU OI! T-SHIRT... A Gangland 45. HI ROBBEEEE... With those blue eyes of mine and a tarantula tattooed on my throat, I used to come visit you even when I was 13; you were one of my best hideouts. Good luck!

Cool store, nice selection of techno music displayed by years. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the city.

Great record store with a good house and techno section. The guys in the shop know the records in there well and have some good suggestions. 2 listening stations small to medium shop but definitely quality over quantity. Good techno selection organised by year of release/ artist. Looking forward to coming back!

Had a great time visiting the store today. Amazing selection for any underground music heads. Owner was an absolute gent too - up for a chat and picked out some great local records for me to dig through. I’m now travelling home with a very heavy bag - thanks haha!! Would recommend to anyone in the area.

Nicely curated small shop. Fans of Gilles peterson dig in, ambient, avant garde and more. I picked up WOMB on dot records, 1969 for a good price.

REAL UNDERGROUND NEVER DIES. The passion, the commitment and the Hope that was coming from these guys on creating the best record shop in Rome was definitely succeed. 6 Years their client and every time I pass by I go home Happy like one! Make sure to visit 👌👌

English people can buy tickets here as the website doesn't allow non Italian people to book.

I want to share my experience because I think it's right to protect others like me who buy tickets from Magic Sound. I recently had a terrible experience with a ticket. The event was postponed, but I couldn't get my money back because I couldn't attend. I think that regardless of the issue, a long-standing retailer should guarantee comprehensive customer service and then raise the issue with the supplier itself.

This shop has become my go-to place for concert and theater tickets since I arrived in Rome. The owner is very experienced and always knows how to recommend the best seats and the best view of the stage. Just a few steps from home, and with just one click, I already have the original tickets in my hands, without having to print emails with barcodes and QR codes.

The go-to place for buying tickets for all the city's events is not only...very helpful staff, ready to offer any kind of musical advice.

A small but well-stocked music store. You can find everything from records, CDs, vinyl, etc. to some musical instruments. You can also buy concert tickets.

Awesome shop, really good selection! Guy who runs the shop knows his stuff and keeps things affordable. I always walk out with a ton of sick finds.

This shop is awesome. Mickey's knowledge of records is impressive as is the range of quality titles available. If you're after well priced (often hard to source) records and excellent service, hit up Pink Moon.

Great store! really impressive selection of records at affordable prices. Mick is a legend, really knows his stuff and always up for a chat

Really cool, curated selection of records

I always find treasure here!

Great selection and amazing layout. It's like a music art gallery with wall to wall of vinyl and CDs. Loved it Soul/Funk

Huge selection, you can find plenty of albums, CDs, vinyls, all formats, a lot of merchandise, classified by genres and in alphabetical order, good music, good prices, very recommended

Oh my God....this place is fantastic and has such a great collection especially punk 😍 keep going guys for as long as you can

Really nice place for music with very amazing people and a great colleaction for punk rock LPs and other related/ adjacent music genres

One of three Radiation stores in Rome. This one is the main branch, located a little bit out of town. A large stock of second hand and new items (mainly represses and boots). Rock, Alternative, Punk h/c, Funk and Hip Hop. Both vinyl and CDs. Some collectibles. Prices are more towards the top end of market than bargains, but worth a visit.

Nice shop definitely a wide selection if your looking for something between there two locations I visited yesterday I found some pretty rare crust cds vinyls. Workers are very nice and chatty both even checked in stock for an album I was looking for. if you search you’ll definitely find something cool, prices are about the same as in the USA some are definitely cheaper. Overall if you have free time and like cds vinyls or records take a look I definitely would recommend it!

Amazing time at store Good collection of vinyl

The absolute go-to, one-stop for rare and obscure RnR records in Rome. Professionally handled by a very friendly and competent staff, Radiation is a true haven for the discerning music lover in the heart of the Eternal City. Wide range of products available as well as a long-established distro make this an unmissable experience if you're in Rome and also happen to love REAL RnR. Top marks all the way!!!

Finally found Billie Eilish’s “Hit me hard and soft” here!!! Amazing selection of albums with amazing prices. Definitely visiting again next time I’m in italy🫶🏻

Small place but they have a very good collection of records, specially new ones. Found some gems in the prog-rock section. The staff is also very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Visiting Rome and went to a number of different record stores.The owner was very friendly and the store had a large selection of metal vinyl. A few albums I have never seen in the wild. 2 of which I bought. Everything I purchased is in beautiful condition. A number of the albums were priced below what I see in the U.S. This place is definitely my favorite record store in Rome. I also like that the website has the pricing on each album and they ship worldwide. Great find.

Actually super nice place with good selection and fair prices

Possibly one of the largest second hand record stores I've been in, this was the reason I came here. Prices are either right on or a touch high. I thought that some of the marked conditions were off. Best to make your own assessment and decide if you want to buy at the marked price. That being said I left with three records, all of them needed a decent clean before playing. Consider changing the inner sleeves.

Of the dozen or so vinyl shops I visited in Rome, as the name suggests, this shop has the best selection of New Wave in town. If late 70s/80s ‘punk/ alternative’ is your thing, you are more likely to find something of interest here. Prices are top end of the market, so don’t expect to find any bargains (e.g. 120€ for, a less than perfect, copy of My Bloody Valentine’s ‘You Made Me Realise’ 7” is a little ambitious)…. and he doesn’t haggle 😄 Note; 7”s are in boxes behind the counter and you’ll have to ask for them to be passed out to you. As previous reviewers have said, a lot of stock is not priced up so you need to ask the guy to look up on his computer anything that might be of interest - I’d also have to agree with previous comments; the staff speak perfect English but are a little dour 🫤

really good shop! Big choice of CD and Vinyl, even some rare available here

Great selection of electronic dance music, and a cool place to listen to records on their decks. The owner was really nice and helpful too! Highly recommended for any collectors visiting Rome, I will definitely visit again on my next trip.

A brilliant shop with a wide yet well-curated selection of dance-oriented and experimental records. There’s a lot of new stock on offer here alongside some nice stacks of pre-loved bits to get stuck into for a good few hours. Ultrasuoni will forever be my first stop for all future trips to Rome! Shouts to the incredibly lovely owners/staff too!❤️‍🔥

Must go when you’re into techno, house, electro and rave vinyl! Very nice selection of everything left of center, all artists and labels that matter are represented here, although mostly newer stuff. They have some stuff for sale but the trays aren’t really well positioned when you have the bend for the lower compartments. Small selection of tapes and merch for the collector. Not overly priced, but nice records for nice prices. Equipped, knowledgeable and friendly personnel!

Small but great selection, bought almost everything I listened to. Nice listening stations with new, high quality gear. Shop keeper gave a great recommendation based on my selections too. Grazie mille

Small but great selection of vinyles in electronic music, house, funk, disco, minimal.

Cool store, nice selection of techno music displayed by years. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the city.
