Tridente, Trevi & the Quirinale


A wall in this gorgeous boutique features a cascade of shiny dark chocolate – 350kg in all, mixed with a spot of olive oil. Shop here for chocolates and gelato, crafted with pride by the Turin chocolate house since 1878. The chocolate gelato, served in a dipped cone and topped with whipped cream and/or hazelnuts if you choose, is predictably divine.
