Great food We stumbled across this cafe after visiting the…read moreDuomo. It was a wonderful place for lunch! The food was outstanding. There were some great options in the display cabinet for lunch at a very reasonable price - you can choose three items from the display for a set price of €10.80 (or €12.80 for meat/fish). We liked it so much that we ate lunch there nearly every day of our stay and bought takeaway for dinner one night. The staff are very friendly and helpful (big thumbs up to Steven). We're so glad we found this gem!

I was impressed with Montanucci! This small town has a modern, spacious, delightful bar/café…read more The interior has many nooks and lots of wood paneling. You can get a light lunch, snack, beverages, cocktails and dessert. The frittata I ordered was tasty with crumbly pie type dough at the base and a lattice pattern on top. The hot tea was extremely necessary since it was gale force winds today. The dessert of a slice of chocolate cake was rich and not sweet (which is good)! Overall, if only I knew the way to order there would have been lot less confusion. To do so (order): Go to the bar, ask for what you want, take the number given to the cashier to pay, then take the paid receipt to the bar and a server will bring your stuff to a table. It was a bit confusing since I wanted to sit at a table and not drink my tea at the bar. The café seemed to host a social/group celebration (birthday for a matriarch?) in a private room at a lower level. Tourists were huddled over cups of tea or coffee. A couple of young people were studying with laptops. Montanucci's is a place for everyone it seems!

Fell in Love! I and…read moremy girlfriend were in Rome and we wanted to go to Florence for one day. The train tickets were quite expensive (about 100 euro for one person), so decided to rent a car and drive there. After a while, we started looking for someplace to get coffee and I found in yelp this beautiful place was ahead of us in just a couple of miles. It's a very quiet and small Italian city where you will not find any tourists. Narrow streets, with a stunning view to Toscana. We liked this place so much, so I even offered my girlfriend to stay here. Caffe Venezia is a small cafeteria where you will find anything you want. Here you can have your breakfast, brunch, or lunch and the prices are three times cheaper then in Roma or any other big cities. The owner was a very polite and nice guy.

Gelateria Dondoli is one of San Gimignano's most iconic culinary stops, transforming a simple…read moregelato into a memorable Tuscan experience. It is located in the heart of Piazza della Cisterna, the award-winning gelateria is known for its rich, ultra-creamy textures, high-quality local ingredients, and inventive flavors created by master gelato maker Sergio Dondoli. While classics like pistachio and chocolate are exceptional, the shop is especially famous for creative combinations such as saffron and pine nut cream or pink grapefruit with sparkling wine. We tried Rosemary Baby (Raspberry and Tuscan rosemary) and safron and pine nut cream gelato. Nothing like we ever tasted...The atmosphere is lively and energetic, with long lines that reflect its international reputation. We waited in line about 30 minutes but was well worth it. Despite the long line and higher prices, Gelateria Dondoli remains a must-visit destination. Enjoying a cone beneath the medieval towers of San Gimignano turned the experience into more than dessert...it becomes part of the town's charm, and unique character.

When we visited, there was a line about 15 people deep out the door, but it moved reasonably quickly. They offer a wide range of unique flavors -- things like rosemary, lavender, and other creative combinations you don't usually see. It makes for a fun experience trying something different. All the flavors we tried were good, and overall the gelato was excellent. We've had some incredible gelato elsewhere in Italy, but this was still very enjoyable. Worth stopping in if you're in San Gimignano. Grab some and enjoy by the well in the center of the piazza.

My husband and I had dinner at a pizza spot adjacent to Frigidarium, so we couldn't help stop by…read morefor dessert. I remembered it also being highly recommended to me by one of my friends. Frigidarium had a small storefront with room for a few guests at a time. Our timing was lucky, because we had arrived ahead of a big crowd. When I ordered and looked over my shoulder I saw that the line was snaking around the corner. Service was fast though, so people were in and out considerably quickly. I ordered the Frigidarium flavor and one that looked like a berry vanilla swirl with chocolate bits. I'm sure my mouth dropped when they asked if I wanted white chocolate, milk chocolate, or whipped cream at no additional charge. Based on the flavor palate I got white chocolate that becomes a hard shell when poured on. Loved everything about my gelato. I enjoyed both flavors with the white chocolate, and I got a bonus chocolate cookie from the Frigidarium flavor.

Ambience: ample seating outside with some shades thanks to the umbrella. Simply grab one and then walk off to the pier of the lake, all shaded in the summer time. Food: creative and unique flavors for the lactose free ones . I tried their "sedanocchio" made of celery, fennel and blueberries. Really great, not to sweet and very refreshing.
