Fiumara Shopping Center
A traditional chocolate maker in Genoa
适合: 购物者, 餐饮
Romeo Viganotti is an artisanal chocolate maker near Piazza De Ferrari and has been around since 1866. It still retains much of its original aesthetic and equipment, making it almost like a cosy chocolate museum with some very tasty exhibits.
The shop prides itself on its traditional, manual methods. And although much of their chocolate treats feature traditional flavours like candied orange peel and liqueur cherries, some more modern flavours such as spices and herbs are making their way into the repertoire. If you can’t get enough of Romeo Viganotti, look out for their cafeteria for coffee and gelateria for ice cream and cakes.
