Wir haben für 5 Kugeln Eis und eine 0,5 Liter Flasche Wasser knapp 7€ bezahlt - das war wirklich günstig. Die Bedienung war super nett und das Eis und die Auswahl an Sorten hervorragend. Es ist kein Platz, der lange zum verweilen einlädt, weil es nicht so viele Sitzmöglichkeiten gibt, aber man kann damit wunderbar am Fluss lang schlendern. 😊

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!!

When I was in Florence I came here and it was so good. They have a large variety of flavors. The cones and cups you can get come in different sizes. I got 3 scoops for $4.00. This is an easy choice for anyone that needs some gelato or just to cool off. If you are gluten-free they have many options for you. I highly suggest this place.
