Venchi, an Italian chocolate purveyor launched in Turin in 1878, has leased a space at 1117 Lexington Avenue at East 78th Street. Expected to open during the spring of 2023, this will be Venchi’s fifth location in NYC – and its first on the Upper East Side.
The shop will feature Venchi’s signature Gelato, authentic Italian coffees, hot chocolate, crepes made with Venchi’s Suprema chocolate dispensed from a chocolate fountain, and a variety of the brand’s iconic chocolates including Chocoviar, Truffles, Gianduiotti, Cremini, Pistachio and Hazelnut.
