My daughter thought this place had the best chocolate gelato compared to the other places we had tried. However, for some other flavors, the rest of the family thought we had tasted better elsewhwere in Florence.

A good ice cream and for a honest price. My favourite flavors: "pistacchio" and chocolate ;) Take your ice cream and have sit near the Arno

Not too sure why this place is rated quite so highly. The ice cream is average for Florence and there are better places around. The pera flavour is pretty bland, however the chocolate is excellent.

Our hotel suggested we try the gelato here. It's where they like to go. Not disappointed, delicious, good selection would have liked to try them all. Smiles and friendly service. Well worth finding the location.

We went there in late February and it was still cold but we couldn't resist! It's very near the Ponte Vecchio. The guy was super nice and patient (it's hard to decide what to get!) He recommended their own flavor; sorry, can't remember the name but it had almonds, hazelnuts and nutella, if I remember correctly. Really good! And the... More

The gelato here was power packed with flavor and made from the freshest ingredients. There was a wide variety of flavors to choose from and I wish I had tried them all. My tastebuds will never be the same. To make the experience even better the owner was very friendly and informative. Oh and I almost forgot, the prices were... More

I live in Florence and have tried it all, and this is by far the best. Try il cioccolato! It brings a new meaning to ice cream. Also priced right.

Of course, we had gelato in Florence, again and again. And usually one of us tried the cioccolato, so that we had many points of comparison. Nothing can compare to the gelato--especially the chocolate--at Cantina del gelato! I have never tasted such chocolate flavour, intense but smooth, rich but not cloying, simply the best. As others have noted, service is... More

This was the best gelato we have had in Italy. The customer service was excellent and very friendly. We had the Mango and Wild Berry flavors.

When I studied abroad in Florence, I went to Cantina del Gelato almost every single day...I LOVED it! There are a lot of excellent gelaterias in Florence, but in my opinion, this is the very best. The flavors are both classic and unusal- my two favorites were "Cookies" and "Marscapone e nutella." The servers are very friendly and the service... More
