Le Chicche di Francesco Taverna

The shop opened in 1999 in Via della Scala, just a short walk away from Santa Maria Novella train station, sourcing and selling Italian gourmet foods. We stock high-end chocolate products, hand-made biscuits, balsamic vinegar, truffle sauces and PGI extra virgin olive oil, all carefully selected from top producers. We take special care to represent companies who prioritise use of environmentally-friendly production methods and locally-sourced ingredients and whose products combine innovation with a strong commitment to passing on the traditional recipes and wholesome flavours of old.
