Unfortunately, i was not able to experience the knock on the small door to get my coffee. They also have tables and chairs inside. Even if they are very famous, they were able to preserve high quality coffee. I wanna come back for my 3rd coffee. Best PISTACHIO AFFOGATO so far. Just to share with you, this shop has an amazing and sweet crew. I can't stress enough how grateful we are to you today. I was in line for the coffee while my husband and toddlers are outside waiting, then the rained poured heavily. When I came out to find my husband, i found them soaking wet and were helped by staffs of Vivoli (at the back of their store). They let my family in the back, gave them towels and also offered shirts. If this is Italian culture, I love ITALY!!!!!!! They are so kind and hospitable. We will be forever GRATEFUL. And it will be a memory we will never forget! Grazie! From the bottom of our hearts!!!

From what I've seen, it tends to be more crowded in the afternoon than in the morning, and that matched my experience. The line looked long at first, but there are actually two lines you can join, so it moves more efficiently than it seems. From getting in line to receiving my affogato, the whole process took about 20 minutes. Most people grab their affogato and sit along the street to enjoy it before bringing their dishes back. It's a fun, casual atmosphere and well worth the wait if you're in the area.

Now we are…read morein the bigger cities, Venchi is a large gelato chain with a high-end, glossy, professionally polished image are quite visible. The shop look like Willie Wonka designed them and they are stunning. I am a bit leery about large batch, high production, factory gelato, but when in Sienna, oops wrong city. Venchi is to pretty not to try once. The interior has a highly polished and fancy glossy magazine look while the gelato is piled high. I ordered the stracciatella, vanilla gelato with chocolate bar shaving that melt in your mouth. A simply memorable flavor that I've previously seen but never ordered. This is delicious, packed with flavor scoop with a slight crunch. I know chain food places are taboo, especially in Italy, however this was another exceptional scoop of gelato. A flavor definitely one should not skip. Go in, look around and try Venchi gelato as the store design is beautiful and the gelato is equally delicious.
