About Baratti & Milano
Founded in 1858, this Belle Époque gem serves the finest hot chocolate in Turin (EUR 6.50), thick enough to coat a spoon. The Art Nouveau interior features carved wood paneling, frescoed ceilings, and display cases filled with handmade gianduiotti chocolates. Nietzsche was a regular patron during his Turin years.
Insider Tips
Buy a bag of their signature gianduiotti chocolates to take away from the shop counter, they're fresher and cheaper than tourist shops sell.
