My Sugar

OK this is a mixed review. The gelato is actually quite tasty. We had three samples amongst the three of us. I asked for another sample of a quite unique flavor combination, pineapple and ginger, and was told we were only allowed three samples max. Huh? Really? I already bought a gelato for my son, the samples were quite small, and every other gelato place let’s you try many samples, especially if the flavor combinations are quite different. Having a max is quite understandable, but there should be a sign. Non existent at this place. Like I said, the gelato was great. The service could use some help though.

This place was quite good, we had the lemon with hazelnut and mango with pineapple. The gelato was very creamy (or maybe it melted). The mango was very strong but the taste didn’t feel very desirable. Everything else was great!

By far the best gelato I have ever had. The quality of the product is superb — matched only by the cheerful and pleasant manner in which they provide customer service.
This is a must do experience for any visit to Florence.

Really good gelato. In fact, it was my favorite out of all of the gelato places I visited in Italy. We came on the last night we were in Florence and I really wished we came sooner. The flavor combinations were really interesting and the gelato was very creamy.
My husband had the black sesame and pistachio and he now claims its his favorite gelato place also. The person who helped us was very friendly and offered us extra information on the gelato. The gelateria is located towards the university and is in a hipper neighborhood near the Duomo. I would definitely recommend visiting this gelateria on one of your first stops in Florence so you can come back later.

I finally made it over to this new gelateria in town upon the recommendation of friends who know the owners. I am pleased to be able to say that the young gelato maker, Alberto, makes some really yummy flavours. I tend to like fruit flavours, but often they can turn out too icy due to the high water content. He makes various creamy fruit flavours, though he said he also does sherbets when he has the right ingredients. What I like best is that it is all natural and truly artisan gelato — Alberto told me me makes his own fruit extracts from what he can find in season.
I tried the fig gelato made from organic figs from his uncle’s tree, and it was amazing. I balanced this out with a creamy grapefruit flavour which has a bit of acidity needed to cut the figgy sweetness. I also tried the orange cream which was excellent, though the orange flavour is not super strong — apparently because oranges aren’t in season. I look forward to tasting his future experiments!

My new favorite gelateria in Firenze! You can taste how well it’s made. Beautiful flavors, the texture is out of this world, and an adorable little shop. I actually popped back by after I left because I had to tell them how wonderful it was. So good!
Oh! And they have PEANUT flavors! As an Americana missing peanut butter, getting a scoop of arachide was pure nostalgic heaven.

I love the Gelati here! You can tell they use good ingredients. My favorite so far is lemon + mint flavor, but crema fiorentina was also good. I think I actually prefer this place to Grom. There’s something about the texture here and the lemon doesn’t make me squint like grom’s. The store itself is cute, too, complete with a bicycle parked in front. Reminds me of stores in Tokyo. The owner lady is nice, too. I’ve already been here twice over 3 days, but I plan to come back for more! Also located on a street with a couple more interesting eateries, so convenient.

My favorite new gelateria in Florence and in the buzzing San Lorenzo district of Florence where it seems that a new place is popping up every two seconds. Owned by two very passionate people (sister and brother team), they have put their heart and soul into this little place which shows in their customer service.
A simple place with only 16 flavors (which is a good thing), Alberto goes to the market every morning to pick up fruit and goods for the day’s flavors. The standout stars for me were the ‘bronte’ pistachio flavor and the amarena (cherry and cream).
I am huge believer in supporting small businesses that are true ‘made in Italy’ foodie artisans which is why I want to showcase the fact that this isn’t some ‘I sell frozen gelato’ like grom.
They also offer frozen yogurt which is my fiancé Nico’s favorite with a variety of yummy toppings, I definitely will try more of that the the next time we visit. My sugar definitely has our votes in a city that has many different options!
