A narrow street carded in late-afternoon light—cobblestones clicking underfoot, the Tiber nudging the city’s edge as guides lead a small group toward Santa Maria sopra Minerva. The Rome Chocolate Tour threads through this living museum: a cioccolateria where bonbons are piped by hand, a pasticceria with chocolate-filled bignè, and a gelateria famed for its tartufo.
