Cioccolata Calda at Sciascia Caffè

November is well underway, and Rome is growing cold. It feels like winter is right around the corner — the sun is setting absurdly early, the holiday decorations are slowly being rolled out, and the Italians have suited up in their long coats. Inspired by the chill in the air, I started to ask all the Romans that I met where I could get a good hot chocolate; and it wasn’t long until someone recommended <a href="https://sciasciacaffe1919.it/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Sciascia Caffè</a> (Via Fabio Massimo no. 80/a). Open since 1919, Sciascia Caffè is both a chocolate store and a caffè. They write on their website that over the past century, “Mode e costumi sono cambiate ma l’aroma del caffè sciascia è rimasto lo stesso” — “Fashions and clothing have changed, but the aroma of Sciascia Caffè has stayed the same.” And what an aroma this place has! As soon as you walk in the door, you’re hit with the overwhelming smell of chocolate, and the sense that you’ve happened across something truly great. <a href="https://medium.com/dont-disturb-hannah-is-eating/cioccolata-calda-at-sciascia-caff%C3%A8-530665abc565">Read More</a>
