Address

Piazza della Signoria 5r, opposite Palazzo Vecchio

A pasticceria-café opened in 1872 by a royal chocolatier. Sit on the terrace and Palazzo Vecchio and the David copy are dead ahead: you're paying for the priciest view in Florence. The thing to order is hot chocolate thick enough to stand a spoon in, topped with cream. Inside, cases of chocolates and small pastries.
