It is said that the drink was brought to banqueters in 1627 and the Medici fell in love with it. One of the greatest enthusiastic of the hot chocolate was Cosimo III, who got a special recipe created specially for him by the court\u2019s chief botanist, Francesco Redi, who developed delicate and delicious jasmine-flavoured hot chocolate. The recipe was kept in secret until his death, when it was found in a document.<\/p>\n<p>Soon the hot chocolate became a success not only in royalty, but among all Florentines. And many important cafes that opened in the 18<sup>th<\/sup>, 19<sup>th<\/sup> and 20<sup>th<\/sup> century are still serving hot chocolate today. And here is our <strong>Top 3 list<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1- <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rivoire.it\/en\/\">Caff\u00e8 Rivoire<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In our opinion, the best hot chocolate in town. The Rivoire is very traditional, opened In Piazza della Signoria in 1872, when Florence was capital of Italy, they are still making the same hot chocolate based on a secret recipe &#8211; till today. Many important politicians and nobles that made history in Florence tried it, and you can do it too!<\/p>\n<p>2- <a href=\"https:\/\/caffegilli.com\/en\">Caff\u00e8 Gilli<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Even if you were not a hot chocolate fan, Gilli would be a must go. But being a hot chocolate lover, you have one more \u2013 and great! \u2013 reason to pass by. It has a spectacular view of Piazza della Repubblica, since 1733, it served as a meeting place for famous writers, intellectuals, and artists. And it is still very cool nowadays.<\/p>\n<p>3- Vestri chocolatier<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a tiny shop in Borgo degli Albizi 11R, much more recent than Rivoire and Gilli, but it is so worth the visit! The hot chocolate is special and the Neapolitans produced by them are too.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Did you know that the hot chocolate is a Florentine tradition?
