I studied abroad in Florence, Italy for an entire semester and I made sure that I had gelato at every place I visited, but there was no place that could compare to Cantina! Not only was the gelato made to perfection out of ingredients from local people of Florence, but Samio, the owner of the shop, was probably the nicest... More

We are renting a flat above the shop and so we end up there most nights for gelato. Most flavours (that we've tried) are very flavorful and very tasty - limone ans pistachio are favorites. The size/value is good...I've paid 6 euro for more but it melted way before it could be eaten so 3 euro for a medium cup... More

When Cantina del Gelato first opened, I used to go there daily for a delicious ice cream. I must tell you that since they received their trip advisor card, the place has steadily gone down hill and the quality of their ingredients is now of the lowest quality. I asked the owner why the ice cream didn't have the flavor... More

We traveled all across Italy, from Milan, to Venice, to Florence, to Rome, to Pisa, Cinque Terre, etc. and tried gelato in each city. This was BY FAR the best gelato we had tried on our trip! We initially planned to go to another gelato place, which was recommended by Rick Steves, until the locals advised us that it was... More

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.
