Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

My daughter went on a evening stroll. We were pleased with the service and our tasty gelato. They have many different flavors. We will be back again before we leave it was so yummy!

You must try this if you're in Florence. It's situated in a residential neighbourhood, and they serve special flavours like basil etc. Gelato flavours certainly tasted great, I had 2 everyday without fail! I feel it's even better than the chain stores in Italy

They have an amazing assortment of hand made gelato, it's much better than the packaged stuff you get in downtown Florence so definitely worth the trip. We're thinking of coming back just for this place!

By far, this gelateria, which serves artisanal gelato, is the best we have had in our trip. It has a great value for money, delivering big, delicious scoops for a decent price. It has an interesting array of flavors, fruit-gelato desserts, and other gelato-based desserts....More
