Vestri, Cioccolato d'Autore

[randomness]

Vestri is a chocolate shop which serves gelato, mostly in various flavors that include chocolate, like chocolate-orange or chocolate-ginger. Chocolates and gelato. What a combination!

As is standard in Florence gelaterias, you can get your gelato in a cup or a cone, and there are three sizes, starting at €1.50 for a piccolo (small). Also standard is that a small can include two flavors. I got the chocolate-orange, which tasted just like the candy, and giandula (chocolate-hazelnut, recommended by KJ's Italian instructor). KJ got the chocolate-ginger, which she likes. I think if I liked ginger more I'd like it but it's got quite a gingery taste. Great if you love ginger.

Oh, and I realize posting all these Florence recommendations probably isn't still useful, but I remembered last night after going to bed what the name of the other place there was.

Food Network also mentions it has long lines, which was true, yes. I also didn't know it had been on Food Network when I went there. I guess I should tell KJ.
