After tasting every flavour of ice cream on offer at this Gelateria I can safely sat that I'm qualified to review this gelateria. Delicious ice cream is probably the best way to describe it. As can probably be seen from the line outside the door at any time of the day and in any weather conditions the gelati here is... More

Good ice cream but while we were sitting eating it (and there is not much room in there) my wife had her expensive sunglasses stolen. Could happen anywhere of course, but just be careful....

My husband, granddaughter and I came upon the gelateria after dinner in June 2010. There was a line out the door. It was worth the wait and the price was VERY reasonable. Went back the next day for more. I thought I knew all the best gelato in Firenze until I had it at La Carraia. Can't wait to to... More

We were foolish enough to buy some ice cream just off the Vecchio bridge at 12 euros for two and they didn't even have much of a variety. However, on the way back to our hotel we discovered this busy shop. It's just at the bottom of the bridge. The next day we bought the same size ice creams for... More

This place was just across the bridge from our apartment and we grabbed gelato while going home. IT was so good that we went again and again. We also got one cake for my girlfriend birthday and the cake was also excellent (not close to the gelato however). There are around 30 types of gelato as I remember and I... More

The gelato was smooth and creamy! My friend who lived in Florence recommended this place to us (it was her favorite). It was quite a walk from our hotel so I sat and ate 3 cups full because it was so good. I am returning to Florence this summer and I strategically reserved the apartment I rented with a 6... More

This artisanal gelateria has the best tasting gelato we have tried in Florence. The products are always fresh and tasty, we have gone tens of times and never been disappointed.

Near the Academia, this gelateria has some of the best sicilian fruit-infused in Florence.
