The best gelato I've had in Florence. I had the Nutella, pistachio, and strachiatella. My friend had mango and lemon. We went back the next day because it was sooo good. read more

Favorite gelato in Florence. Really nice spot, great service, overall amazing place. Would highly recommend.

(Took Out 08/07/16 SU @ 11:00am): When in Italy, I had to seek out gelato which led me to this cantina! It was a port day in the beautiful city of Florence while on a cruise with Princess Cruises, when my oldest niece and I came across Cantina Del Gelato as we explored the area around the famed Ponte Vecchio. With a mix of classic along with seasonal and artisanal flavors all made with natural ingredients, this gelateria beckoned any frozen treat fan to have a look. I loved gelato to no end which was sparked by my first visit to Italy nearly 15 years prior. Certainly a must for any visitor to this country was to try the gelato, the wine, and all the cuisine. Whenever I made it back to this part of Florence again, would I carve some time to make another stop here!? PURCHASE Coppetta Media - Hazelnut And Pistachio (3 Euro): My niece played it safe with her selection and went for a couple classic flavors... not that there was anything wrong with that! A healthy serving of dense smooth goodness, each flavor was on-point, had tiny flecks of actual nuts, and was downright delectable https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=SCM_SX03bFiNCYZ49c1G0g&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! Coppetta Grande - Mango Cumin Fig, Hazelnut & Nutella, Chocolate Crunchy & Rum, With Wafer Crisp (4 Euro): I went large with my selection and splurged on the freshly-made wafer to top off this mountain of mouth-watering mayhem! Again, each flavor had minuscule morsels of their respective namesakes with the mango cumin fig the hands-down winner of the trio because of the way your tastebuds were taken on an exotic ride of sweet, savory, and succulent. And bless you for the actual presence of rum in the chocolate crunchy & rum scoop https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=vzo0MRNfSpUGNjKxu_GPsQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! SERVICE Greeted and welcomed by an extremely affable gentleman who apparently was the master gelato maker, he patiently waited for us to make our decisions as he offered tastings and told us about the flavors and the shop. Once we knew what we wanted, he quickly crammed as much as possible in each of our cups and thanked us for coming in. Absolutely no complaints here - ciao! PARKING (FREE) Because we were exploring on foot, this wasn't an issue for us. However, I recalled seeing a couple spots in front of the gelateria, but the main mode of transportation around here was walking, so have comfortable kicks on. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE With an easily-visible storefront signage https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=n_XliSo5Z9aDqsA3sXBqTg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, the inside reminded me of a bunker with barely enough room for the singular long display case/counter once you entered https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=lM408tSUTUSzAqRXzLBoXw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, a sign with the hours on top of the counter https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=FNcKRlrSKkkVUIPc13gTcQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, a legible price menu on the stark white wall https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=8-Cldz0W5tQLnj8srAx1nw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, and a couple high tables to the side. A decent amount of natural lighting came through the front glass walls and door while a handful of electric recessed ceiling lights covered the rest. I didn't recall any TVs but low music played in the background. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Cantina Del Gelato was an absolutely amazing find and would definitely return if given the chance! I wished they were in the U.S.... namely in my hipster Silver Lake 'hood (Pazzo Gelato had nothing on them!). If gelato wasn't your thing (a blasphemous thought!), they also served fresh juices, milkshakes, and smoothies. The myriad of flavor choices stuffed my eyes just looking at them, the service excellent, and the prices were comparable. I was a happy traveler https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=1oCBRGmWZ5G_clnkT8jWGQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! I found total value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around 7.00 Euro BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, although I paid in cash, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS read more

Amazing crepes and gelato!! I'm here for study abroad and gone to many gelato places, and this one is our overall favorite!!! I got the Nutella and banana crepe, and my friends got a variety of gelato flavors. All the things we got were AWESOME! The staff was also so friendly! She was extremely sweet and kind. I will 100% be coming back here for more!!! Highly suggest! read more

Hands down the best gelato in Florence. The pink sea salt caramel was our favorite. Stopped by twice a day to indulge. Wish I was there right now. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed the gelato here, probably the best we had in Italy. We especially liked the pistachio, mango and yogurt honey walnut. Great smooth texture and strong flavors. It was a great snack on the way down from Piazzale Michelangelo. We highly recommend it. read more

I kinda just ran into this place out of nowhere when trying to go to the supermarket, and having a gelato earlier at a different place, I decided to stop by in here to check out the flavors and see what they had. They don't have many unique flavors here; they have the usual mint, crema, fragola, passion fruit and all that. However, their signature flavor here is the gusta di Cantina which is a hazelnut/almond blend with tostata and Nutella. Really delicious! I ended up getting their baby cone (one scoop) of that flavor for 1 euro. The lady at the counter was SO nice and sweet. She even let me try the flavor before I got it as well. The texture of the gelato was just how I like it; smooth, creamy, and super tasty. The gelato is stored in the metal tins which keep the quality of the gelato perfect. This isn't a super touristy location but I do happen to see a lot of tourists run into here probably without intention. It doesn't seem like it gets crowded here often so if you're in the area, try to make a pit stop! read more

In Italy there is pretty much a gelato place on every street, if not more than that. On my first night in Florence with my roommates, we stumbled upon Cantina del Gelato after dinner and that was the first visit of many that we had. Cantina del Gelato is a smaller gelateria and is not too close to any tourist stops, which was great because it was almost never crowded. Also we knew that this gelateria was legit because it did not display heaps of gelato, which are typically what tourists like to see, but instead they are inside silver canisters in the counter. In addition to this, the prices were also very reasonable, with the small sized gelato priced at 1 Euro! Since I was studying abroad, this definitely was within my budget to have almost every day. Other items on their menu included acai bowls, which I also tried during my trip here and they were equally delicious but of course a little healthier. Every time someone I know travels to Florence, I always recommend Cantina del Gelato. read more

Cantina del Gelato - Budget friendly and delicious gelato! Only 1€ for small! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Florence, FI

The chocolate gelato was OUTRAGEOUSLY GOOD! Nice people, and fabulous gelato. I highly recommend!

Great service. Delicious, creative flavors. The server let me try as many flavors as I wanted.

Conveniently located just over the Ponte Vecchio bridge is one of the best gelato spots in all of Florence, if not all of Italy. We were delighed to find Cantina del gelato and visited several times over our stay in Florence. It's hard to come by quality, handmade gelato but you'll find it here and it will surely not disappoint. I highly recommend the nocciola and the mascarpone and nutella combination. So yummy! I made the mistake of getting a small, be sure to at least get a medium, you won't want to miss out on this stuff!! read more

Love the 1euro cones, and the variety of flavors! All so good, fast, and convenient.

The most delicious gelato I've ever had! I wanted to take a picture of it but we ate it too quickly! We both had the hazelnut crunch for 1€ each which was a hefty scoop on a cone. Just enough to satisfy and a great price! I wish we went back again before we left Florence. Definitely would recommend this shop! read more

I am so happy I found this gem during my months in Florence. Went there a few times for the acai and it was the closest tasting to when I tried it in Brazil. The woman working there was from São Paulo and said they directly sourced the acai pulp from there. read more

WOWZERS! This place was amazing! I got the peanut-coated, chocolate-covered, cannoli-shaped waffle shell stuffed with Gusta Della Cantina flavor (noccioloto + almonds + caramel + Nutella). I didn't get the cone, but I can't say enough good things about the cannoli-shaped shell and the ice cream flavor I got it with! The shell had the perfect texture and flavor - crunchy, nutty, and bittersweet. This meshed perfectly with the special ice cream flavor they offered! The mix of the solid shell and the creamy gelato was the perfect blend for an evening dessert =). They really stuffed the ice cream down the shell, not skimping out at all on the portions! What a welcome, and also cheaper, change to the typical cones that are everywhere! read more

Cantina del Gelato - Awesome peanut-coated, chocolate-covered, cannoli-shaped waffle shell with Gusta Della Cantina flavor! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Florence, FI

I'm a little sad to find the review for Cantina del Gelato on Yelp, and it's just a bit selfish of me to not want the Yelp world to know about this wonderful gem. Whenever I talk about visiting Florence the Cantina del Gelato is always at the top of the highlight list. The quality of the gelato is superb, wonderful texture and flavor and the choices are interesting. My wife tried the melon version and it was actually quite nice (not being a melon fan) and I usually never stray to far off the chocolate course...and it did not disappoint. Yes....try the marscapone/nutella combo...heck, try them all! read more

Cantina del Gelato - Makes me want to go back... - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Florence, FI

Delicious! A bit trendy on the inside, but the gelato is legit. Flavors are real, I got the mango and then yogurt with honey & walnuts. Delightful combination for a particularly hot Florence day. Some gelato places have a certain "look", like the ice cream is made to look pretty but never scooped, these were kept nice and cold without the extra finery. Be sure to try. read more

We had two flavors each. My crispy chocolate with rum tasted like butterscotch and the stracciateli (?) like chocolate chip. He liked his coconut and salted caramel. This shop keeps its gelato in chilled metal tubs instead of piled high under glass. I guess that keeps it colder. Very good! read more

Great gelato! Try the mango and/or hazelnut. Both flavors mixed together taste delicious.

Do not take your girlfriend here!!!, The ice cream is sooo good that once she sees you lick that ice cream she'll question your sexual orientation!!. Recommend the chocolate, cookies and the hazelnut flavours. read more

I wasn't in the mood for sweets - but then tasted a bite of my boyfriend's black rice gelato and I had to go back and get some. Absolutely amazing flavor and texture. It might exist, but I haven't found that flavor anywhere else in the country. read more

Fragola is excellent here! Will try acai next time. And I was wondering why I felt I was in Brasil and it was because of the awesome boss nova cover songs playing! Owner is from Brazil. One usual taste scoop per person applies here, of course. read more

Honestly my favorite gelateria in all of Florence. The quality of the gelato is unlike any other. The staff are extremely friendly and willing to answer any questions and the environment and location is prime. Even if there is no room to sit inside (it is a rather small place after all) you can just walk across the street and eat with the view of the Ponte Vecchio and the Arno. Nutella and Mascarpone is one of my favorites but everything there is addicting. read more

This gelato place is out of this world. I am super picky with my food but I came here twice within an hour because it really is that good. I had the Ricotta and Fig, as well as the Nutella Hazelnut and Peach Melon. The price is definitely right and the flavours offered are plentiful and masterfully executed. Do notvmix this place up with the bigger/fancier looking gelato place across the street. read more

Once we had found Cantina Gelato on the other side of the river, we were delighted and dazzled by the huge array of flavours. These delightful flavours range from persimmon to cookies. We were extremely impressed by the peanut butter ice cream, which had a very smooth and creamy flavour. If you are struggling to choose from one of the delicious tastes (which may be the problem) then there is always the spinner on the wall which can make the decision for you. This wonderful ice cream place also has very reasonable prices. We highly recommend this lovely, creative and local place. read more

Best gelato in Florence hands down, and I am very picky with my gelato. AMAZING flavors. Staff is very friendly (women is partly Brazilian and speaks many languages). Would highly recommend especially since you can enjoy the gelato overlooking the Arno river. Blissful experience. read more

Great gelato in Florence a couple of blocks from the Ponte Vecchio on the same side of the Arno as the Pitti Palace. The chocolate is like eating delicious mousse. Coffee and Mango also are outstanding. buy the gelato and enjoy it as you lean on the wall by the Arno across from the Uffizi, watching the people on the Ponte Vecchio and in the neighborhood. Walk one more block down Via de bardi for a yoga studio at 19r where the teachers speak English. read more
