"The perfect souvenir for the food-loving traveler? Slim bars of chocolate wrapped in paper patterned with groovy midcentury designs. Or a pale blue box tied with a satin ribbon, holding a treasure of pralines, caramels, and squares of dark chocolate. Vestri is a family-run establishment that has been turning out delicious chocolate creations for more than 30 years. The clan owns its own cocoa plantation in the Dominican Republic , which ensures the quality and ethical sourcing of its products. The shop also sells modern confections like white chocolate with salt and sesame, as well as sweets based on ancient Florentine recipes. Take decadence to the next level and indulge in a scoop of creamy gelato affogato , drowned in hot chocolate, while you shop."

They have so much chocolate here! There's no sitting area here, so take note that it's more of a grab and go location, whether packed chocolates or their hot chocolate in a cup. Unlike the more commercial Venchi or Stratti, this feels a little more nonna-style, more local. The location probably also gave it away that they're not as centrally located. Price points are reasonable, like everyone else. That said, it's one of those spots that in my humble opinion, is worth while dropping by if you're in the area, but not something that I'd intentionally go out of the way for.

Incredible chocolates, and extremely kind and helpful staff!! We were in Florence for just four days but came here three times: the hot chocolate was so good we had to try the confections, then the chocolate bars were so good we had to get a praline assortment for the road! Couldn’t recommend more.

This is a chocolate shop that sell chocolate bar, praline, gelato and hot chocolate too. I tried their pistachio, cioccolato fondente all’arancia(dark chocolate with orange), and cioccolato fondente gelato 🍨 My favourite is cioccolato fondente all’arancia 🍫🍊🫶🏻. I also bought their praline too (they have a lot of unique chocolate praline variants)that taste good 🤤

My favorite chocolate shop and gelato. I love the rasberry chocolate one which they have only in winter time. The gelato is always amazing. Recently they already make a renovation of the shop. Beautiful!

Gelato was delicious (especially the 70% chocolate and mango) and they have amazing chocolates as well. They let us try some samples. Staff was incredibly friendly and nice. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning any time I am in Florence!!

The chocolates are fantastic, they easily beat other high tier chocolate brands with ease. The flavours and textures are on another plain of existence. The shop itself is very lovely and the workers are so friendly too!

Great service! Chocolate is soft and really good. I have not tried their gelato but there was a huge line in the afternoon for it. The chocolate caldo (hot choc.) was delicious, extremely chocolaty! Pure! Recommend getting a smaller size if you haven't gotten a cup before!

Best gelato we’ve had in Firenze. Chocolate is excellent. The Japanese lady working there was very welcoming and friendly. They have a small charming room hidden to the side.
