About Us

For over sixty years Rizzoli Bookstore has been recognized as one of America’s premier independent booksellers. Known for its curated selection of illustrated books on architecture, interior design, fashion, photography, cookery, and the fine and decorative arts, as well as literature and foreign language titles, Rizzoli remains a literary landmark of New York City and a destination for distinguished authors and book lovers from around the world.

Rizzoli Bookstore, located at 1133 Broadway in New York City’s NoMad neighborhood, sits just three blocks north of Madison Square Park, the lively cultural landmark. Surrounded by renowned retailers, acclaimed restaurants and stylish hotels Rizzoli Bookstore stands as a true gem in this dynamic setting.

Established in New York in 1964 Rizzoli moved in 1985 to its 57th Street location—a six story townhouse exhibiting on its façade a sober classicism that belies the elegant interior within, where cast iron chandeliers, ornately decorated vaulting, and a luminous Diocletian window create a serene setting for book lovers amidst the rush of Midtown Manhattan.

Our collection of books is specialized in illustrated subjects – fashion, interior design, art, architecture, photography, design – and literature, in Italian, Spanish, French, and English. We also carry a fine selection of note cards and stationery, always a source of delight for our customers.
