Description
Dating back to 1878, this Italian confectioner uses ingredients like Piedmont hazelnuts for its signature Cremino and Chocoviar chocolates, alongside gluten-free and vegan options. At the counter, you can sample flavors like pistachio or Mont Blanc with two to three free tastings before ordering. Beyond standard scoops, the menu features coffee and specialty drinks like the Raspberry Chocoviar Hot Chocolate, layered with heavy whipped cream and raspberry drizzle. Keep in mind that the shop is compact, offering limited seating and no public restrooms.
