Gobino Chocolate is the Rolls-Royce of chocolate. This is indisputable. So why only 3 stars? Real Chocolate is magic, a complete experience, a world of taste among the richest. Heading to a place named "street art" while keeping in mind the Gobino commitment to excellence, the expectations would be of diving in a unique experience.
While...my second (and last) experience of this store confirms that it is just sales. Colored, perfectly arranged, clean, elegant and rich in courtesy. So if you are looking for an efficient way to buy high quality chocolate (at correspondent price... quality has a price), this is the place for you. If you are looking to dive in the magic world of chocolate... you will be totally disappointed, among the lowest experiences in similar situations. This disappointment led me to drop the 3 star of an otherwise 6 stars for Gobino Chocolate.
If the company would be clear that "dégustation" and magic experience don't belong to this store but limited to the other Gobino store (via Lagrange: best hot chocolate in Turin - you find in gmaps my enthusiastic review for that store) while rebranding this store in "factory outlet" I would find it consistent with the service offered, resulting a neutral experience and keeping the 5 stars for Gobino...

Qualche assaggio completerà la magia di essere in un posto veramente unico, insito in un quartiere di TORINO splendido rilanciato recentemente dal progetto Lavazza. La magia si respira arrivando fra le strade in cui piccole botteghe si affacciano discrete rilanciate dai colori di stupendi murales che decorano intere facciate di palazzi. All'interno dello shop : i cioccolatini (i mitici gianduiotti, cremini, tappi con varietà e % di cacao differenti), le praline, i canditi ricoperti e le ultime novità e creazioni (anche in base alle stagioni). Potrà capitarvi di imbattervi nel "Maestro" Guido Gobino, sempre affabile e disponibile. Personale gentile e disponibile. Assolutamente da...
