We got the chocolate hazelnut and then the cherry gelato. The cherry gelato was the star of the show, j think I need to go back while I'm still in Florence.

Great gelato!

I also sampled the chestnut and mint chip, both of which were also great. Highly recommend!

I don't know if there is bad gelato, but I haven't encountered it yet. That said, Sbrino is the…read morebest gelato I had in Florence, which puts it toward the top of the list of my favorite gelato worldwide. This tiny little shop has an inefficient system for ordering, which results in more of a line than their should be, and subsequently more of a delay than I'd like in getting the most delicious caramello gelato cone into my face. However, I find it hard to be upset with them once I am eating the gelato. Eating this gelato makes me very happy, and I would like to come back to Florence and eat it every day of my life until I die, fat and happy. (My apologies that my friend is in my photo of said gelato. It's the only photo I took of it, and I understand that no one wants to see his silly face, but I really wanted you all to see the gelato.)

If you have high quality ingredients, you don't need to pile on other things. And there is a cute market area you can buy local products. I ended up buying some sicilian, olive oil and was surprised at how expensive it was but I was curious about it because you can only get it in italy and it got good reviews. I have since tried it at home and it is high-quality Olive oil and so much flavor... It was shockingly good.

I came here 3 times during my 2 day trip to Florence…read more I usually like to stick to flavors that I know and love, but decided to venture out here and try some new ones and they did not disappoint. There's usually a line out the door, but it goes by fairly quickly. La Crema and the Amalfi Lemon were the 2 best flavors I had here. Perfect for such a hot day! Prices aren't too bad here, which is nice.

We went twice during our three days in the city and regret not going a third time. Each visit we tried different flavors and still left thinking about what we didn't get to order. It's a small shop, so the line often spills out into the street, but it moves, and the location makes it easy to work into an evening walk. The espresso is genuinely delightful, which is the whole point of an affogato, and they get it right. Worth the wait, and worth repeating.

I got the pistachio flavor, which was lightly nutty, and the seasonal cheesecake al frutti flavor, which was super lemony + filled with berries and had great buttery cookie crumbles in it. The texture of the gelato was very smooth and soft. The cone is really flavorful and goes well with the gelato as well! Service here is great and very friendly. It's around 5 euros for a small. Definitely recommend for a pre-train ride snack!
