    Coming from America, hands down the best ice cream I’ve ever had. I mixed three flavors(Synfonia, an orange chocolate mix that was amazing…dark chocolate…and mint chocolate). You’d think that they would clash but it was great. €3 for a waffle cone with 3 scoops, €2 for a cone with 2 scoops, so very reasonable price. Had to wait in a 20 minute line, but so worth the wait. Will be coming again.

    We passed by this place many times and we’ve always seen a line outside. We finally went there to see this gelato place is about. I had a white chocolate with pistachio and was great. My husband had two kinds of flavor- double chocolate and mint. Total was €4! You really can’t beat the price and they give you two scoops for each small cone. Great location. You can have your ice cream by the canal and enjoy the beautiful Florence!

    Delicious ice cream full of flavors. We tried white chocolate with pistachios, cookies and cream and pistachios. I loved the cute small shop. Do must try once you are in Florence.

    Only the 2nd Day in Florence and I have already tasted all of these flavors so far. 😅 From all the 6 flavors I’ve tasted Hazelnut and Salted caramel are definitely flavors you should try! They are perfect on so many levels. The salted Carmel has this burnt taste that makes it PERFECT, and the Hazelnut contains hazel nut pieces and it tastes like a pure heavenly hazelnut spread. 🍦 Portions are perfect, and prices as well! This Place has 6k Reviews for a reason totally worth it! 🍨

    Amazing gelato spot in Florence! Ordered mango and chocolate flavors and both were creamy and either chocolaty or fruity!! Simply delicious as well. For €2, you can choose 2 flavors, with €2.5, you can add a sugar cone. Highly recommended!

    This was very good but Buonocore in Capri is still my no.1 with their homemade cones! This was a close 2nd. The queue went down fast but unfortunately didn’t take more photos because they had a short power cut when we started ordering! Luckily we could still get our gelato 🍨 we had cookies / biscotti flavour which was amazing, and Tiramisu.

    The best ice cream in Firenze. There are a lot of different tastes available, and all that I've tasted have been really good. The prices are also very good for the amount of ice cream you get. Service is good and friendly. You can expect to wait in line in the busy times, but waiting times are generally low. There are places to sit outside the shop.

    Tried this place based on the number of great reviews and consistently seeing a line from our hotel window. I got the Dark Chocolate, and my wife got the Chocolate Mousse. We were blown away. It was my favorite ice cream I’ve ever had, and my wife described it as “11 out of 10.”

    4 stars. Chocolate hazelnut was luscious light and creamy. The cream with orange seemed a little bit artificial for my liking. (Like not enough bright citrus flavor). At €2 for a piccolo of 2 flavors this is a GREAT DEAL!

    The gelato here is goooood. It's worth it to buy it, step right outside by the river, and eat. Then go buy another! The prices are reasonable and there isn't a wait. The staff is friendly and the flavor options are plentiful. The only inconvenience is they're a bit off the main crossings of Florence, but they're worth a trek to reach!

    The Gelato was good. Service was also good and very fast considering how long the line was. They have a lot of flavors biggest selection I've seen in florence. Quite cheap also. Loved the white chocolate with pistachio and the after eight.

    AMAZING! We've been here already three times now during our stay in Firenze. We've had the Mango, Orange Chocolate, Chocolate Mousse, Hazelnut and Yoghurt and Nutella. All the flavours are delicious and have good prices. Highly recommend - the lines out the door and around the corner don't lie. Enjoy

    This gelato place offers an extensive selection, which is impressive, but I found the overall experience a bit overwhelming due to the heavy sweetness of their offerings. While variety is abundant, the intense sugary flavors overshadowed the subtleties of the gelato. If you have a serious sweet tooth, this might be your go-to spot, but it might be too much for those seeking a more balanced gelato experience.

    Quite nice Gelateria with distinct decor and several unique flavours. Staff polite and fast. Good selection of other sweet cakes. Reasonably cheap and pretty good portion size so will be happy to come back for more! You can enjoy some great gelato while walking along the river bank of Arno.

    Oh my gosh this place was amazing. Definitely one of the best ice cream shops in town. I searched on Google maps and they had high reviews so we tried it. The line was long but we waited anyway and the flavors are so yummy! I went with my dad and two brothers and all the flavors we got were good. I wish I had another day in Florence so I could go back again.

    My first introduction to Gelato was at this delicious place. Recommended by my tour guide, I journeyed around Florence to locate it. A cool night with warm lights and my mango and pistachio gelato....a perfect end to my night 😀.

    What can I say? This is just another of the many spectacular gelaterie in Florence, where it all began in the 16th century. While there are several mediocre gelaterie in Firenze, there are also several noteworthy ones, and this is one of them. It’s a fun stroll to the foot of Ponte alla Carrara in Oltrarno, where you can indulge in this wonderful gelato, and then stroll area the quiet and quaint neighborhood.

    We tried the white chocolate and pistachio, cookies, nocciola, yogurt and nutella and the strawberry cheescake, they were great! The service was also really good and the prices were also good for the amount of ice cream you get. Definitely recommend it.

    The best gelateria in Florence - came here multiple times a week for gelato. As a student, I was looking for an affordable and delicious gelateria in Florence and this is the winner. The €2 cup is the perfect amount and the quality and taste of every flavor is the best in the city. Loved the cookie flavor along with lemon cookie and berry!!

    Delicious and full of favor so it might too sweet for someone. Suggest to buy in the foam box because I found it cheaper and you can carry home. There may long queues for sometimes but not too long for waiting.
