My husband and I traveled Italy for 7 weeks and this was honestly our favorite place! so many flavors and they make it all fresh in the back. If you are driving through Castellina it is well worth making a stop. (I would even go out of my way to tour the town and try the gelato)

We came here 10 years ago with our kids, then aged 8,6 and very small. The older two still remember the Ice Cream shop. And ten years later it does not disappoint. The Raspberry, strawberry, forest fruits and lemon are stacked full of flavour. The textures are perfect. Oh, and the dark chocolate and the lemon, and the pink grapefruit....... More

Castellina in Chianti has a special charm. Enjoy Mario at the Art Gallery, his wife in the shoe shop, lunch at La Torre while enjoying views of the castle, and buy a handbag in the alley under the town. Top it off with some of the best Gelato in Tuscany. We went 3 times this past trip and it's the... More

During our visit to the Chianti vineyards, we stopped at a little village and our guide told us not to miss this ice cream shop that is Tuscany's best. There's a beautiful ice cream display with interesting flavors and pops and I tasted the fig with ricotta and the vanilla flavors. Although I enjoyed my ice cream, I wasn't blown... More

We loved it. our group of six sampled many flavors and found them all to be outstanding. I really enjoyed their own Antica Delizia flavor. I look forward to returning. FYI - no public restroom.

Went three times in one week. Drove 20 mins each time just to get there. The ice cream was delicious. Apart from the standard choices they made different variety every other day (raspberry and rosemary for example). The staff were friendly and helpful and the cost compared to Gelateria in other parts of Italy was very reasonable. Personally this was... More

After extensive research we used to think that Antica Delizia was the best icecream parlor in Italy. This year we found - like other customers - that they somehow changed their formula. The icecream is still good, but no longer outstanding. In earlier years we used to drive an extra hour just to get some icecream there. There is no... More

My kids and I love this place. I fancy myself as a bit of a gelato expert, and the icecream here was the best. But I've just been again (I've been coming here many years) and something's wrong. Prices have rocketed and there's no doubt about it in my mind, they are using cheaper ingredients. Less creamy, less aromatic, less... More
