It is hard to resist stopping by this place on the way back to my apartment. The gelato is delicious and the prices are super reasonable. Not to mention that it is right across from the Ponte alla Carraia for a great view of the Arno river. read more

Tried this place on my walk home, despite the cold weather I was craving some gelato. I got the yogurt gelato in a small cone for 2€. It was so delicious, changed my mind that all yogurt should taste like this! The cone was also very fresh and crunchy, unfortunately dropped my gelato at the end of eating but it was very easy to carry around while walking and eating. read more

Man, this place is amazing! It is located off the next bridge north of the Ponte de Vecchio. It feels less touristy and offers a 1Euro option for those who do not like a ton of gelato or want to sample multiple flavors. This option even comes on a tiny cone if you so choose. There is no indoor seating at this location. There was not a line when we arrived in the late afternoon. The staff was good about letting us sample and we did so since it was our first time there. They offer a ton of selection and the gelato is not piled up for show like other places in town (probably because they actually sell some). The flavors we had were great and you can't beat the value! read more

Excellent gelato. Berry high quality and berry good portions. I initially questioned the quality when I saw the large portion, but it was very high quality. My favorite was the cheesecake. The chestnut was also good, but I image that to be seasonal. read more

It's quite simple: La Carrara is the best gelato in Florence. Prices are so inexpensive. Get the pistachio. Thank me later!

Best gelato in town! We literally walked 3 miles to get here and it was well worth it!

This is the absolute BEST gelato that I've ever had (so far). We passed by while dining at a restaurant nearby and saw a line out the door, which is always a good sign. However, the line goes by quick and they're more than happy to provide you with samples. There were also a good selection of flavors to choose from. The prices are VERY reasonable as we were able to get two scoops on a cone for 3 euros. I had the almond gelato and it was TO DIE FOR. It was flavorful, fresh, smooth and the portion was very generous. read more

I've tried all of the Yelp listed gelato spots in Florence and La Carraia is hands down my favorite. I am never someone who gets the same flavours at places, but the mascarpone & pear and amaretto flavours here are to die for! Both very unique and creamy, and I have not been able to find anywhere else. The lineup is worth it! read more

The gelato was fantastic. The pear ricotta was amazing. And so was the custard orange with chocolate. And the bacio (chocolate hazelnut) had some fudgey bits in the gelato. read more

Ridiculously creamy, reach, yummy ice cream at ridiculously cheap price!!! 6 euro for a family of 3 each gets their own ice cream with two flavors. We passed several gelato places and we were surely tempted. It's a bit walk to find this place but it's totally worth it. read more

Stellar gelato just across a bridge from the center of town. Highlights: - Chocolate hazelnut: deep chocolate flavor with hazelnut still clearly coming through. - Ameretti: just sweet enough almond flavor. - Chocolate: my lil guy said this was the best and creamiest. - Open late Lowlights: - Were out of a few flavors that looked good. - Will be a line. Our favorite of our Italy trip and will be back! read more

One of the better gelato places in Firenze in a sea of options! This shop is popular with tourists and locals alike. We ventured here after dinner one evening and then came back a few times during our trip. The gelato is unusually creamy and dare I say thicker than other places in the city. The flavors are amazing and we enjoyed the Fondente which is dark chocolate as well as their mint which was also really yummy. The coffee flavor is quite nice if that appeals to you. You have the option of cup or cone here. Don't be put off by the line as the folks behind the counter really know how to move it along all with friendly service! There are a few other smaller gelato shops in Firenze that might just be a half notch better but overall this gelato spot really does hit the spot! read more

The BEST gelato I've had in my life... and this is coming from a girl that eats ice cream literally every day. There's this great gelato place near my house in California, and until I tried this place... man.. my tastebuds are in for a rude awakening when I go back to america. I tried gelato at 4 other places throughout Italy... and they just didn't seem to compare. They have 6 sizes, and depending on the cost.. that's be amount of flavors you get. For example, their smallest size is 1 euro and you get 1 flavor, and larger tis 6 and you can get 6 flavors. They also provide to go containers, the smallest being equivalent to the largest 6 flavor gelato in a cup... and they have a variety of cones. I got 3 flavors, the vanilla cherry, the tart, and whites chocolate pistachio. It was a creamy dream and I will dream of this place for a while! Located close to the river bank so you can hop outside to take some cute instaworthy photos. Not much seating inside but workers are kind and offer samples!!! read more

The quality of the gelato is superb and there is good number of flavors here. They have traditional flavors like pistachio and mango with unique ones like figs & walnuts or riccota with pear. The service was why I knocked off one star. It wasn't as warm of a greeting when we came in. The girl serving us told us a two sample maximum after my husband had asked to try two flavors. I guess she just assumed we were going to go on a huge sample run or she just wanted to hurry us up to order something. My friend had recommended this place to me and said she felt it was the best gelato in Florence. While I agree the gelato is good, there are other places who have the same high quality. read more

There is no place else you need to go for Gelato in Florence. Recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint. I don't think you can go wrong with any flavors. I would say you definitely need to try the pistachio, salted peanuts, dark chocolate and melon flavors. I went back for seconds. The small size really is enough because it's all so flavorful. read more

ONE OF THE BEST GELATO'S I'VE EVER TASTED IN MY LIFE! This gelato was so delicious that I ate 6 scoops. The texture was so soft and creamy, as soon as you put it in your mouth, it melted. The flavors were on point; absolute perfection. I know gelateria Neri is very popular with the tourist's, but a local recommend "La Carraia" and I'm glad he did because this place is mich better. If you want an unforgettable gelato experience, come here! You won't regret it. read more

Easily some of the best gelato I've ever had, and I've had TONS of gelato from all over the world!!! My favorite flavors were hands down the pistachio and nocciola! Nothing beats eating amazing gelato while staring at one of the most beautiful views Florence has to offer!! read more

La Carraia - Berry mascarpone, pistachio, hazelnut - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Florence, FI

I definitely got too excited for my first gelato experience in Italy. This is the most famous of the gelato spots in Florence, and I could definitely tell once I came across the long line out the door. However, it went by quickly, though I got a little ambitious and ordered the biggest size and was able to get 6 different flavors in my cone. I do not suggest doing that though, because too many flavors mixing definitely didn't let me decipher what flavor I actually liked. For this reason, it probably wasn't my favorite of the gelato spots I tried, but they were all very delicious. read more

After having tried gelati in many different gelateria in Florence, I have found the gold standard by which all other gelato should be measured. First, this is a small so with a surprising amount of flavors composted to done of the gelaterias I've been to this week. Second, the employees were friendly. Third, the gelati were amazing! Many of the gelati I had had this trip were icy. I had come to the point where I was going to stop ordering stracciatella because it was basically flavorless. This was creamy and smooth. The stracciatella had big chunks of chocolate. I also had caramel and chocolate in my cup. The chocolate was superb; one if the best chocolate ice creams I've ever had. Caramel was very similar to others I've had in Florence. I'm hoping to go back at least once more in the next two days before heading to Germany. read more

Great gelato spot, reasonably priced and lots of flavors from the traditional ones to the creative interesting ones. We loved the salted peanut! Their pistachio was not good. You'll find a line out the door during certain times of day/night. read more

So I've been eating my way through this city, and hitting 2-3 gelato shops each day, and so far this is the best by a long shot. Keeping the taste testing simple by only eating chocolate. Finally something worth breaking keto for. Creeeeeeamy. So good. read more

Excellent pistachio and sinfonia la carraia. The size of the serving was also quite large for the price (the €3 cup is pictured). Overall, very good tasting. Some friends got other flavors and were all very satisfied with what they had. Will try come here again, since it's the best place I've tried in Florence so far. read more

**QUITE POSSIBLY THE BEST CHOCOLATE GELATO I'VE EVER HAD** AMBIANCE ========= Small, bright, and friendly gelateria. No place to sit, go outside. GELATO ======= **DARK CHOCOLATE** OK, this is the best thing ever. NO LIE. Silky smooth, creamy, and packed with intense chocolate. RATING: 5/5 **BANANA** The flavor wasn't as prevalent as the chocolate. Good, but not the best offered flavor. RATING: 3.5/5 Very reasonably priced. Lines are quick. A bit touristy, but that is fine. I don't think I can get better chocolate gelato. It's that good. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. read more

I wish 6 stars was an option. This place has forever spoiled me from American gelato. I visited countless other gelaterias throughout my Eurotrip, and nothing could even come close to this one. I had one double scoop, ate it, bought another double, and came back the next day. It was creamy, and it tasted like real FRUIT. I didn't feel like a cow afterwards either---+10 points. When I go back to Italy, this place is first stop on my list. When I dream, all I want to see is La Carraia Gelato. I like this even better than frozen yogurt, and that's saying something. Also it's SUPER cheap. Insanely cheap compared to the gelato back in the US. read more

Incredibly wonderful gelato. Can't get over this. Not overly sweet, creamy and wonderful. They even have historical flavors.

Echoing all the other raving reviews! We stopped by La Carraia's on the way back to our hotel just over the water and it was the perfect idea! Gelato in all sizes so you can have as little or as much as you'd like AND it was so cheap! The staff was friendly and they had lots of choices! Stop here, you will not regret it! read more

La Carraia - So so cheap and delicious! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Florence, FI

La Cararraia is my favorite gelateria place in Firenze. A lot of people love Edoardo and a lot of people love Gelateria De Neri but everyday after school I went to La Carraia. Not, only do they hold the best deals, but their gelato is creamy, flavorful, and unique. They have 2 locations, the first one is near Santa Maria Novella... at that location it's more like a small ice cream cart with minimal flavors. Their main location is right by La Carraia bridge, that location is much bigger and holds more flavors. At every gelato location I always have to get my favorite flavor, pistachio. At La Carraia, it was nutty, not too sweet, creamy, and satisfying. Sometimes while walking home from school I would just want a small gelato cone to much on and that was definitely satisfying. But if a bigger cone is what you want, they have that option too. Oh, I also cannot forget about the old man that works at the location by Santa Maria Novella. He was the most precious man ever; he always smiled at me as i tried to order in Italian. read more

There are so many gelato places in Florence but none can rival La Carraia Just on the other side of the river from the Duomo center at the La Carraia bridge where lovers mingle under the flickering moonlight and landscaped by the Pontevecchio, is a long line waiting for gelato You can't get there too late because they run out by 11 pm but whatever they do have is rich, creamy, tasty and dreamy! Don't settle for gelato near your hotel, walk and earn the gelato at La Carraia! read more

BEST GELATO in Florence, and even one of the very best in all of Italy!! If the riverside location is out of your way, go instead to their location in Santa Croce. Some of the very best flavours - one of the best combinations is either the coconut and dark chocolate fondant, or the coconut, fondant and pistachio! You will truly not be disappointed by this experience! If you go to the riverside location, there is a wonderful walk along the river or side and watch the water as you enjoy your exceptional treat. Recommended by Italians and tourists alike! read more

This is also one of my favorite Gelateria sin Firenze. It is really quite in expensive and they have an abundance of flavors. The staff speak some English and they are extremely patient when patrons go through selecting their flavor choices. It's a small, brightly lite shop just South of the Ponte alla Carraia and everyone in Firenze has probably eaten here..many generations of Florentines at least. If you happen to pass by this shop and it's open, give it a try. You will be delighted! read more

I will say this is the best gelato shop I went to in Florence. Price is fair and ranges depending on how much ice cream you want to get. Basic 2 scoops can range from 2.5 to 6$. I always get the pistachio to compare across diff gelato shops and this place has the best. The gelato is super creamy and flavors are spot on. This is the only place we went twice for gelato during the entire trip to Italy. read more

The gelato itself was more like 3.5 stars for me (It was definitely good, but not the best we had in Florence), but I'm rounding up for the pretty location near the river and the very kind owner. read more
