The SAID chocolate factory was founded in Rome’s San Lorenzo district in 1923 and if you happen to be in Rome you can visit 135 Via Tiburtina to enjoy all of their creations. They have a gorgeous little spot in London now. The walls were covered in silver chocolate molds of all shapes and sizes and a fire was lit in the fireplace along one wall . The counter was covered on one side with large glass jars filled with white, milk and dark chocolate and on the other side a range of hand made truffles. It was just cold enough outside for us to appreciate hot chocolate sitting next to a small fire. SAID is very much a beacon for Italians seemed as if everyone around us was speaking in Italtian. Thats a good sign right??
Thumbs up, we loved the chocolate, notice the three kinds of chocolate along the rim of the cup( dark, milk, pistachio). Yes, we licked it all off the sides.
