Petrova Chocolates & Wine

Big fan! I’ve been going to their Eastie location for a while, but this spot is now my new favorite, especially since they also have wine. The team is wonderful, the chocolate is delightful, and the wine is amazing. I’ve officially gotten my friends hooked on good chocolate too. Go for the bonbons, stay for the seasonal specialty treats, chocolate bars, and creative delights. Objectively the best chocolate shop in Boston. The store itself is gorgeous, and their events are always warm and welcoming. I clearly need to go back to take better photos, but I’m always too busy buying or sampling. Also, they have the best variety of Eastern European wines in town!

I've visited Petrova Chocolates twice now and it's been wonderful, delicious, and addicting both times. I love to look at their seasonal menu for chocolate bonbons as well as pick up some of my favorite flavors. Their chocolate covered gummy bears are also incredibly delicious and fresh. I can't wait for my next visit back here.

I stopped by Petrova Chocolates in the North End recently and I’m so glad I did. The place just opened and it’s already one of my favorite new spots. They have a great selection of wines from Eastern Europe, some I had never even heard of before and the staff was super friendly and helpful with recommendations. The real star though is the chocolate. The bonbons are absolutely gorgeous and taste even better than they look. You can tell they put a lot of care into making them. I tried a few different flavors and honestly couldn’t pick a favorite. They were all amazing.

North End’s new gem! The handcrafted chocolate bonbons and bars are unreal, and the Eastern European natural wine selection? So good. The vibe is super chill, and the service is warm and friendly — such a great spot to treat yourself!

Rachel from Moon Rabbit flowers did a beautiful job guiding us through creating our floral arrangements. And Petrova chocolates are delicious! However, the event advertised alcohol and non-alcohol beverages, but we were only offered wine and it was the shop’s choice. And while I appreciated and used the 15% discount to purchase chocolates, I was surprised that we were not offered a chocolate or two to enjoy during our flower ranging session.

The most extraordinary and beautiful chocolates! They are truly a work of art. Not only that, but the professionalism, friendliness & expertise of the shoppe staff is unsurpassed. A rare & wonderful gem tucked into Boston’s North End.

Wow, the chocolates were really delicious. Very very yummy. I loved the tonka bean and mango lassi. Expensive but great for a special occasion. They also have good interesting wines.

Gorgeous little wine and chocolate shop on Salem! We stopped in for a wine tasting and loved the orange wine from Greece. The chocolates are beautiful!

Fantastic chocolate truffles! I came here to buy a box of truffles for my husband's birthday, and bought a box of 8 truffles for $29. The chocolates are beautiful and hand painted by Chef Petrova herself, and each bite is delicious and unique. I highly recommend the banana bread, salted caramel, and pb&j. I'd go back and eat 10 of those if I could. The lady at the counter was so sweet and helpful with her recommendations. I described some flavors that my husband liked and she was able to suggest 4-5 new flavors for me. My husband loves the gift and we can't wait to go back!

Why I'll go back: Ultra high-end chocolates for my periodic cravings You HAVE to order: a few of the bonbons, which are visually stunning and ephemerally decadent Tony's Tip: a perfect way to top off lunch or an early dinner in the North End Admittedly, I was oblivious to Petrova - not only that there was a store in East Boston (I live in Downtown Crossing), but literally that there was a store in front of me last Saturday. The wife and I were waiting in line for Neptune Oyster (40 minutes, but as always, totally worth it). There was a break in the line to allow access to a storefront, and as we approached the gap, I peeked through the window to discover an exquisitely laid out boutique displaying a range of confections as well as an assortment of wines. With time to kill, I split from the wife and entered. Warmly greeted by the manager, I immediately came across a sampling station, where little nibs were being offered as well as tastes of two different wines. Yes, and yes. Following a brief chat in which I learned that this North End location had just opened a week prior, I did a quick loop, taking in a selection of natural wines, a wall of specialized chocolate bars, and the vibrant display of bonbons. I decided this would indeed be our stop on the way home after indulging in oysters and lobster rolls next door. Petrova is truly a bootstrapped operation, having started out of Betty Petrova's small North End apartment during the pandemic. This new spot is the sister location to her original (2023) store in East Boston, where they make all of the chocolate and many of the complimentary ingredients. The wines tend to hail from Eastern Europe. We bought a four-pack of bonbons and two chocolate bars (not funky ones, though we'll be more adventurous next time). Each bite is delectable, and one bite (maybe two) is enough to satisfy my momentary craving (your mileage may vary). Petrova looks to be another North End winner and stands out in a sea of restaurants, coffee/espresso counters and pastry shops. I'll be back soon to satisfy my next craving.

The staff was so helpful! Very informative and explained about all the wines. I am definitely going back to buy another bottle before I leave Boston!!

Fantastic!!! Was able to sample 2 wines and 4 different chocolates. We got a box of 16- $58 ao pricy but worth every indulgent bite!!

These chocolates are incredible. We first had them at the SoWa winter market, a second time at a wine tasting event, and then a third time from this North End location! SO GOODDDD. I love their banana bread flavor. I actually just love every flavor they have. Every flavor they come up with is amazing. It's very expensive, but I think it's worth it. Especially as a gift! They're all handmade. Support your local businesses :D

So I have to admit I went to the location in the snowport but I love their selection of chocolates. They walk that fine line between creative and different for the sake of different perfectly. I had a Japanese chili and my wife the potato chip. Both were perfect and especially unique. I found the service to be very friendly and was offered a free sample of their chocolate without any pressure to buy. Looking forward to checking out their wine selection in the future.

Experiencing the candy cap silk pie bonbon was genuinely the best thing that happened to me today and potentially this week

Incredibly rude staff here, I definitely won't spend my money here and I hope they go out of business
