Best gelato ive had and have tried many! They do all the (Italian) standard flavours as well as some really interesting and creative others such as the pear and ricotta we tried! Imagine a light creamy texture with a hint of ricotta cheesiness and little chunks of intense, almost crystallised pear through it.... Divine! We also had the fondente which... More

This place is lovely, but the gelato made us feel so heavy we couldn't finish our cups. Hard to believe we might throw out gelato. If you love extra creamy then this is your place.

We were told that this was the best Gelateria in Florence, so we decided to try it although there was the ice cream festival taking place at the time. However, this was really a good decision. The ice cream tasted so good and perfect to our taste. Chocolate mousse, and cheesecake ice creams are highly recommended.

I've tried my fair share of gelato in Italy and this place is by far the best. The service is excellent the amount of ice cream you get for the price is amazing! I'm pretty sure I had it every day while in Florence and will definitely be back in the future!

I tried tiramisu and it was the best tiramisu gelato I've tried in Italy! It was so soft and not icy at all. It worths the price!

Hubby, 2 kids & I headed over the bridge to get some gelato. It was sooooo good. Daughter got lemon, son got chocolate, I got piña colada & hubby got pear/ricotta & Nutella/yogurt. We all tried each others. YUMMY!

This place has delicious gelati, with decent portion, quantity, quality and price. For us, this was one of the top three gelateria in Florence.

You may find a gelato you like better somewhere else especially since they have a limited selection but you can't beat price/quality ratio. Have tried both locations (prefer the one at the bridge) and for 1.5 euro you get what you will probably pay 2.5 elsewhere.

... until every other gelato you have after you eat from this place tastes like it's just full of sugar and not flavor. Of course, I'm over-exaggerating, but the point must be made that there definitely seems to be something different about the gelato here. Perhaps it was from having walked all over Florence that day. Or the indecisive rain... More

If you're looking for amazing gelato close to the center this is the place to go to! It's my fifth time in Florence and after trying many places this is still the best ice cream in the center, cheap and you get a lot of gelato too! Enjoy!
