"A very nice and friendly gentleman working here treated my son very special. My sons eyes lit up when he saw multiple chocolate flavors and was having a bit of a hard time deciding, so the gentleman offered him a sample of the one my son had not tried before, and also slabbed on a full scoop of it on his cone too! I walked back about a km and past multiple gelaterias to get my gelato when I wanted one, just because of the friendly service. Good Gelato, very good gelato! good prices, great guy! I had gelato from multiple places in Rome, so for me, this was the best gelato in all of Italy!"

"Came here after dinner (which we had dessert at) but just needed gelato as well! We told the lovely man serving us (who I regrettably didn’t get the name of) about it and he asked all about our dinner and was incredibly friendly! The gelato was perfect - the pistachio was amazingly creamy, nutty and salty in a delicious blend and the straciatella had delicious chunks of chocolate and brilliant flavour. The hot chocolate was rich and deep and went perfect paired with the gelato! We had actually come on our first night in Florence but had no qualms about coming back. Originally, 3/4 of us weren’t having gelato but minds were changed once walking through the door. Excellent experience!!"

"A vegan celiac’s dream!!! Everything is gluten free, from the gelato to the cones to the hot chocolate. I was amazed that they even had a non-sorbet option for vegan gelato: peanut butter chocolate (DROOL). It was so good I came back before they closed for another scoop. I chatted with Francesco a bunch about how it can be a challenge to find good options as a celiac but I was so grateful for all the delicious gluten free food in Florence. He told me he isn’t even celiac but believes it’s important to provide a product that everyone can enjoy, and I appreciated that so much He even sent me off with some cookies to take back with me. This is a must visit if you’re a celiac or gluten free or even if you aren’t, because the gelato is fantastic! I can’t wait to come back."

"Delicious gelato. Plenty of flavours. Generous servings and good value. We went there 3 nights in a row and would go back if we were here longer! The guy who served us (didn't catch his name but had a great beard!) was very friendly and helpful. I'd recommend the Talentissimo flavour, but they were all great."

"Absolutely delicious gelato, and very well priced. 2.90€ for the small tub with 2 flavours, but honestly you don’t need any bigger. So many unique flavours to chose from, and all looking as tasty as the last. Would definitely recommend!"

"Fantastic gelato and great staff! I tried matcha and Persian one with safran - I loved both of them! Even the small 4€ cup is quite generous portion. Will definitely come here again to try more flavours"
