Siece is for sure a small town, but do NOT miss the gelato at this place IF you are traveling through. We visited many towns, including San Gimignano, and everyone claimed they had the best in the world, or close to it. But for us, La Via del Gelato was the clear winner and was the delightful conclusion to each night of our Tuscan holiday except one night when we were tempted by the gelato in Siena. While the Siennese gelato was nice, it didn't have the subtle 'pop' that some of the flavors from La Via del Gelato did. For starters, all of the product is made in-house, and best of all the shop-front and kitchen are only separated by a glass wall, so you can see the gelato being made. It's always clear when there's an ownership stake in a business, and this is one of those instances. Secondly, the flavors are fantastic, and on a daily basis they have the standard fare, from vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, hazelnut, almond, pistachio etc. There's more of course, but you get the picture. Third, on a daily basis they rotate of have about 5 to 7 new flavors. Each day there was something new to try. On one day in particular we tried the plum gelato which had been made with plums from the proprietors garden! On another day they had 'American Dream' which delighted by peanut butter loving son. Here's the bottom line for us ... it's made locally, ownership has a stake, the product is fresh and not full of artificial ingredients to prolong longevity. Furthermore, in many of the towns, it really is about shoveling the gelato into a cup of cone and getting you out of the store. Here, you can happily stand in store and taste and eat patiently and to your delight. Enjoy ... oh, and for non-native speakers, "Posso assaggiare ... (flavor of your choice)" will get you a taste of any of the flavors to aid in your decision.

Most certainly a place to sample the classics, Pistachio offering Bronte's best without a lot of added Sugar, "Riso" reminisces of Horchatta minus Cinnamon while Zabaione is faultless thanks to an eggy undertone and top notes of Marsala.

However the gelato was delicious--the best strawberry I've had in Italy. Very good value, too. Mordilatte says it uses all natural ingredients, and it shows from the quality of the gelato. Bonus points for its location, too, giving a chance for people to get a quality treat outside the city center.

Don't expect a huge welcome because the owner/man behind the counter isn't the warm and fuzzy sort. I witnessed a woman come in and gush to him about how fabulous his gelato is (in Italian, and I'm only guessing from the words I overheard) and his smile didn't change by much, although I could tell he was pleased and grateful.

Cachi (persimmon) - very grainy. The flavor resembled persimmon but texture was off. Caffe (coffee) - was my favorite! It had a strong coffee flavor. Menta e cioccolato (mint chip) - I haven't seen mint chip gelato anywhere else. This was very good. The only place that served gelato in waffle cones!

This is like a hidden gem since it's relatively far from the tourist area, but if you are around, you are in for a treat! The gelato is absolutely on-point with its creaminess and got the right sweetness, and each generously-sized scoop is €1. Il perfetto gelato! Although I don't recommend going all the way just for this gelato as Edoardo (my other Florentine favorite) is more convenient, you definitely can't miss this on your trek to Piazzale Michelangelo. Seriously, that climb would be so much better if you had a wonderful gelato before or after (or BOTH!)
