Indeed one of the best I've had in Italy. It's not overly creamy, but smooth. The fruity flavors aren't too good, but try their house specials!! The secret to sampling more? Get the 1 euro cone which gives u two flavors and come back for a second! My dad was jealous I got more gelato and more flavors with 2... More

I studied abroad for a semester on 2010, and this gelateria was on the way from my apt to the building I took class, so I would eat gelato almost everyday on my way to class. The owner is very friendly and is really passionate about having one of the best gelaterias in Firenze. I you go, I recommend trying... More

Stayed around the corner from this gelateria and after one try, we were buying it by the TUBFUL. You can buy the tub and pay for it by weight, bring it home and enjoy it in the comfort of your hotel or apartment - that's aside from buying the cone or cup and eating it while walking around this wonderful...

I'm not a big fan of sweets, but I loved, loved, loved, this gelateria. It was very close to our hotel, so once we discovered it, we visited every night. The small cone is only 1 euro, they let you mix flavors, and they are very generous with the serving size! The service is great and friendly, and they offer... More

My wife, daughter and I have been enjoying gelato twice each day during our time in Florence. We had nearly concluded that La Carraia was our definitive favorite based on variety of available favors, creamy rather than icy texture (personal preference), portion size (generous) and price (none lower that we've found). Antica Gelateria Fiorentina is as good, has a variety... More

Was it the best ever...? Maybe not, but it was quite delicious. It is a very clean, very small shop. Just a couple of tables and a few chairs between the Duomo and the river. The flavors varied from the usual chocolate and fruits to green tea. Nice person working there and the prices were in line with places of... More
