Our last food stop was my favorite of the three. We went to Moriondo E Gariglio in a cozy alley near the Pantheon. It's a top notch chocolate shop founded in 1850 by two cousins. I'm not much of an Instagrammer (Editor: I don't think "Instagrammar" is a word. Writer: Of course it is, it has "grammar" in it!) but apparently it's very popular with Insta Influencers. And I could see why.
I could tell it is a special place the moment we walked in. The ladies working there are dressed in bright red uniforms with white collars and white hats. It adds a nice touch to a very classy and special place.
The biggest problem with the place is that there are so many chocolate varieties to chose from. It's also an absolutely beautiful shop that feels like a throwback to the 1950s. Or 1920s, or some other time in the gauzy memories of our past.
The chocolates are made on site, in a chocolate lab right behind the glass counters. The whole place is a combination of chocolate and old world class/charm. There are even a few old fashioned tables and chairs inside the shop to rest while chowing down on chocolates.
Don't miss it!
