"Chocolate Coffee" in Florence
 

I am going to Florence this summer. I want to know IF there is, like in Torino, places that sell espresso mixed with chocolate and topped with fresh cream. I saw that previewed while watching the Olympics, and it looked heavenly, and have been dying to try it.

Having lived in Florence, I never saw espresso mixed with chocolate but if you order hot chocolate (cioccolato caldo) anywhere in Italy, you will get a pudding-like hot chocolate with cream (Be sure to order it with "panna" (Cream). It is amazing.

You are speaking of the bicerin (bee-chay-REEN), the Torinese specialty drink. You might try asking for it by name. Otherwise, as Veronica mentioned, the cioccolato caldo con panna is heavenly.

Thanks!!!

I suppose I can ask the servers to mix in espresso.

Not sure if i've seen this specifically in Florence, but in most places in europe, a "mocha" coffee is an expresso mixed with chocolate.
