Roccati Cioccolato In Bologna

The lady with the thick glasses looks very stern, but her pistachio stuff is fantastic.

This chocolate shop is surprising for the variety and originality of its creations, the quality of its raw materials, its sophisticated techniques, and the sheer stupidity of its business practices, which, far from encouraging us to buy, made us give up. Around this time of year, it's normal to want to enjoy Easter eggs. Colorful and attractive, we tried one: excellent. Each egg costs 6 euros (not cheap, but justifiable) and a box of 6 costs 60 euros. Or, in other words, the (cardboard) box—nice, yes, but unpretentious—costs 24 euros. I thought I was in a chocolate shop, not a stationery store.

High-quality chocolate at fair prices for a handmade product. The shop is very well-kept and a beautiful boutique. The lady at the counter is truly kind and helpful. Highly recommended.

A chocolate spectacle like in the olden days. Unfortunately, we're back and it's over, but we'll call to order and bring these delicacies home. A necessary stop in the center of Bologna.

Beautiful chocolates and wide variety. Beautiful chocolate Christmas Trees.
