I visited the Fitzrovia branch of Said in London. Hoping for a less busy atmosphere than the more popular Soho branch of Said London. I was in luck!
Said Dal 1923 has a snug, classy and romantic vibe. It is Italian after all! Said Dal 1923 is a cafe. Coffee shop and chocolatier rolled into one.
With two branches located in bustling central London. After seeing some amazing looking photos of Said hot chocolate and their other chocolate dipped treats.
I couldn't wait to indulge in some chocolate decadence for myself.
Said Dal 1923 also sell a large variety of their own luxury chocolates. You can buy and take home anything from chocolate bars.

I played it safe and went for the milk hot chocolate. All hot chocolate options at Said come with a cup that's slathered in a trio of thick, melting white. Dark and milk chocolate sauces.
I couldn't help but scoop up the tasty chocolate sauces that stream down the outside of the cup. It really does look, and taste impressive.

There was no warm friendliness or enthusiasm received from the staff at Said Fitzrovia.
Either when engaging with us or when seen serving other customers. I hope you receive better service on your visit to Said Dal 1923.
Whilst the service we received wasn't great. Don't let this put you off going, as the quality and presentation of the chocolate products more than make up for it!
The venue itself was impeccably clean. I didn't use the toilets during my visit. So I'll report on them in my next review of Said London.
The premium coffee used at Said London is an exclusive blend roasted in Italy. Said cakes are homemade. With delicious options like carrot cake, crumble and cheesecake.
It doesn't end there for chocolate lovers! Take your pick from mouth watering tiramisu.

Just like Said Dal 1923 hot chocolate drinks. The chocolate soaked chocolate cake made for a beautiful looking treat. That tastes as good as it looks.
Hubby had a slice of Margarita pizza from the menu at Said. Along with a mocha, which also comes in a cup drenched in triple chocolate sauce. Yum!
I was too full to try some chocolate dipped strawberries, but look forward to enjoying them on my next visit to Said Dal 1923.

Update 2021
Said Dal 1923 on Broadwick Street is a little smaller. With indoor and outdoor seating. Service was really friendly.
I tried the triple chocolate mocha. Which was delicious. A more bitter mocha than I'm used to.
However, it works perfectly with the sweet. Generous helping of molten milk. Dark and white chocolate. Saturating the outside of the cup and pooling in the bottom.
The melting chocolate makes for a sweet chocolate treat at the end of the drink.
Said dal also have alternative milk choices for vegans and vegetarians. In either soy almond or oat.
Plus you can pick up a mint. Chilli or ginger powder from the counter to spice up your drink.
