Nino Friends - Dorsuduro Venezia Italia

This shop not only offers chocolate samples. They also offer free samples of sauces. Yes, sauces!!! At first, we saw them giving out samples and we tried it. It was so good. I bought a box of hazelnut and pistachio mix. Then, one of the girl standing at the sauce section and asked us to see if we want to try a sauce sample. We said ok. She started giving out most of the sauce tasting. She is very charismatic, passionate and informative salesman. Her name is Georgia. I want to buy it all. But unfortunately, I have two more stops and need to hand carry my luggage. I can only buy the small jar (less than 3oz. End up I bought two jars of the truffles sauce. I'm definitely going to order some more online when I get home. I appreciate Georgia for her excellent service!!!! :

I read about Nino's when researching our trip to Venice. A wow of a little place filled with chocolates, cookies, and other goodies. I think I tasted every sample offered in the store. Nino's even had pasta. I spied Candele (Candle), a 20 long tubular pasta. I had previously purchased Candele when in Southern Italy and had to have it. It isn't available where I live. Loved visiting and tasting at Nino's. Lovely staff. 65

I wish I came into this store earlier during my visit to Venice! A lovely chocolatier with plenty of flavors, options, and box sizes. It's an irresistible place if you're looking to bring back affordable and delicious souvenirs for loved ones! Walked out with 3 boxes and hands down, was one of my favorite souvenirs purchases in Italy. Staff was also super generous with their samples, and I got to try several full-size chocolate pieces while I was there.

Great window displays! I'd heard they give cookie samples. Well, they gave samples of what seemed like everything except cookies, though cookies were out and we were eyeing them, lol. It's fine because I'm not much of a cookie person and I indeed dropped enough money here. We probably had 5-7 samples of various jarred liquids. Guy tried to sell me a 90-ish euro jar of balsamic pearls, but when I said that wouldn't work for my carry-on-only travel, he showed me a 22-euro jar that fit perfectly into my liquids bag, lol. We also tried this pistachio butter covered in chocolate and that chocolate covered in this crispy coating. I bought a box of those and then some milk chocolate, which I hadn't tried in the store. It was perfectly creamy. I'd go back to buy more yummy items in a second.

The samples pulled us in. Italian chocolate, cookies, Lacore and savory pesto's. To die for. I have the car that we can order it at home and get 10% off
