One of the best gelato flavors with a Sicilian influenced flavor profile. I got the yogurt greco and torroncino di sicilia and both were heavenly amazing. Would definitely come back. The gelato store is very bright and modern and so inviting. Lovely.

I heard this place makes fresh conolo (singular for cannoli), meaning the shell is empty and only filled after you place the order, I’m not a fan of conolo or cannoli but I had to try it fresh. Also, this place is among top gelaterias in Florence, but you have to make a trip outside the city center to try it. I found the flavors to be average, but maybe I tried the wrong ones, but in general all the top gelaterias in Florence weren’t as good as what I tried in Rome.

Yeah… This place has some serious gelato!
I wish I could of tried every flavor. And I’m sure the cannoli were going to be amazing. I just couldn’t eat one more bite. Next time I may have to get a hotel close by so I can eat desserts for breakfast lunch and dinner.

Excellent gelato and ice cream. I didn’t get to try the cakes and pastries but they looked delicious. They have cute little iced lamb cakes in time for Easter! Make super cute gifts.

Notre 1ère glacé en Italie. Délicieuse, forte en goût, et vraiment, vraiment pas chère (3 ENORMES «boules» pour 2,50 euros). En plus, la gaufrette du cornet est très bon, et l’accueil vraiment sympa.

Our first gelato there, in Italia. Delicious, with strong flavors, and very very cheap (3 HUGE scoops for 2,50 euros). The waffer is also very good and the lady who serves us is really nice.

This was my go to spot for gelato when I was studying culinary in Florence. I actually had the pleaure of meeting the Scilian born & raised gelato chef courtesy of my professor who took us on a gastronomic tour of Florence. The guy makes FRESH gelato daily and I got to see his process of making ricotta-​flavored gelato topped with bitter dark chocolate, scilian oranges, and strawberries. It was literally the best and most unusual gelato I’ve ever had. My professor even said that he makes all these unique gelatos daily and he once had anchovie gelato. Although not a selling point in Florence, it would have made big bucks in New York City. I’m glad I found this spot before my study abroad experience was over and I will always come back when I come back to Florence. Much love.

When I want a freshly made cannolo, I come here. Why? Not only do they make one for you ON THE SPOT, but if you come often enough (like I did… *cough*), they will most likely reach for a cannolo shell as soon as they see you walk in the door. Hehe. Did I mention that I went there often?
The gelato and granita flavors… oh wow. They melt in your mouth, they really do. The Sicilian gelataio, Toni, really knows his stuff. He regularly rotates the flavors so that you’re guaranteed to find something different to try every time you go. I highly recommend moro di modica (Modican chocolate, it’s quite dark), yogurt allo greco (Greek yogurt: yogurt with figs, walnuts, and honey), or cannella (cinnamon). Among the granita flavors, try mandorla (almond), anguria (watermelon), or caffé.
There is also a selection of Sicilian desserts and liqueurs for sale. I can’t recommend this place enough!
