It took six months to craft the beautiful copper and brass Venus Bar espresso machine in Italy. Now this machine — or piece of art — is loved by both Romolo Chocolates baristas and customers for its robust, yet smooth, espresso and creamy steamed milk.

"If you haven't had the opportunity to taste a drink made on this astounding machine, you have to come in and try one," says owner Tony Stefanelli. "It is modeled on the original Italian espresso bar machines and is one of only two in the Eastern United States."
