What a waste of time trying to find this place. After much searching we found out they moved to Palermo, Sicily.

Being chocolate lover, I always look for the best shop in town, Florence was not exception. I read the reviews about this shop and decided to give it a try, went to Via Porta Rossa angolo Via Tornabuoni, but couldn't find it. asked locals and they told us that it no longer existed. Alas.

I am really a big fan of chocolate and ice cream, and have to say that this is in top 3 places that I visited, and I visited many. Roberto who is manufacturing chocolate for last 50 years in the hills above Florence is definity someone who knows about chocolate and ice cream. He dedicated most of his life to make chocolate tasted so fantastic. The must flavour for ice cream is pistacio, OMG fantastic. Definitely visit and taste the flavours offered in this small shop.

This is the place to go if you are a chocolate lover! Roberto Cattinari is one of the best pastry chefs in Tuscany actually perhaps one of the best in Italy. The chocolate selection varies with delightful flavors that include champagne, brunello di montalcino, balsamic vinegar, seasonal fruits and nuts. The hot chocolate is the best I have ever had. The gelato is with out a doubt the best in Florence you can choose from the different chocolate types combine with the two sorbet available. They always have pistacchio so it is really worth while trying this incredibly delicious flavor.

I went there with my mother in October 2011 after dragging her through the streets , I sat her outside the shop and brought her the hot chocolate and a candid mandarin, her verdict , the best hot chocolate she has had ever .
