Best gelato in Florence! The pistachio is award winning. They have good selection of other flavors including some fresh fruits. Opposite the gelato is a coffee bar. The cappuccino was solid. They have a wide selection of other drinks including beer. Also, don't miss the freshly made cannoli. They will do chocolate chip on one end and pistachio on the other - tasty! Very friendly staff who all speak very good English. read more

During my trip to Italy, I came here multiple times. Twice for desserts and many other times for coffee. You must try the pistachio butter, I even brought some back to the States. The cannolis here are so good, the bad thing is that the first time I tried a cannoli was here so now nothing in the States can even compare. read more

Don Nino - Walk in, order a coffee and a cannoli! The pistachio cream is an amazing surprise and twist on butter spreads. I took some back to the US! - Patisserie/Cake Shop Near Me - Florence, FI

If you are visiting Florence and you are near the cathedral, if you get a craving for gelato, try Don Nino!

Great gelato and the ice cream maker did a great job and have a little show doing the ice cream and even joked around made it look like an amazing art. Gelato was good to would go back but no more time we are leaving soon. Recommend for everyone read more

Very disappointing! Went to Don Ninos for desert. After waiting inside for a while(2 employees behind the counter never acknowledged us). After about 5 minutes one of the girls asked if we wanted to dine in or take out. We said dine in, she said grab a seat outside and someone will be with you, so we did. Waited about 10 minutes, totally ignored again! We left and will not be back. read more

Oh my word!! The cannoli here is awesome!! You can choose between pistachio creme or ricotta or even do a combo of both, entirely up to you, then you can top it with pistachios, peanuts, or chocolate chips. The possibilities are endless!! I had ricotta with pistachio and chocolate chips and I felt like a lion pouncing on a kill, sooooooo goood!!!! If that wasn't enough, I also got a rocher dessert (limited time only) and it tasted just like a Ferrero Rocher candy. The staff is extremely friendly and everything tastes so fresh! My sweet tooth has been satisfied and if I wasn't fearing a sugar coma coming on, I would have gotten gelato as well. It's a perfect treat after climbing the stairs of the bell tower and Duomo! AWESOME SWEETS HERE!!! read more

Loved this place on my trip, missed in florence, but I luckily found near Trivia falls in Rome, ordered there, and loved it.

Great cappuccino, average cornettos. Really cute atmosphere. Adorable macchineta lamps! Bright decor. The rest of their offerings look delicious including gelato, tarts, etc. A nice stop for a quick cappuccino e cornetto in the morning :) read more

We stopped here because the places recommended to us by our Airbnb hosts were closed. We were looking at the gelato outside and I simply asked the girl behind the counter if we needed to go inside to order. She was rude in her reply that we could order outside. My boyfriend thinks her coworker was making fun of us, saying where else would we order when the cones were on the outside counter. It was 20€ for two cones but I guess it's just a tourist trap area. The gelato was just ok. With the attitude and mediocre product, we wouldn't recommend this place. read more

My first gelato in the city! They have a great range of flavors and they all come topped with a chocolate dipped wafer (delicious). After many samples I went with the sour cherry and hazelnut flavors. It sounds like a strange combo, but it really worked. The flavors are bold and the texture is creamy with that tiny bit of stretch that's so welcome in a gelato. Luckily, or unfortunately for my waist, I live right across the block so I will 100% be back. read more

After tasting the best gelato in Rome (Giolitti) this place didn't compare. We came here on a rainy night and wanted our gelato to-go and the staff was nice about creating make shift takeout containers for us. The lids didn't really fit but it did the job. I asked for hazelnut and vanilla and what I was served was definitely not vanilla. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't vanilla! Also- I agree from the other reviews that this place is overpriced. In Rome two small gelatos were 5euro and here it was about 8-9. read more

I found this place outside of the Duomo and it is fantastic. They have great coffee and pastries, the service is excellent! Everything here taste amazing and the staff is very friendly. My favorite cafe in Florence read more

The gelato here is overpriced. Should have known it was a tourist spot because of location but wanted to get some gelato before leaving Florence. The Nutella flavor was good. I was supposed to have a scoop of tiramisu as well, but I think they scooped mint or something and it wasn't good. The pistachio was very savory. Macaroons were okay. The staff was nice. read more

Loved this place - exceeded expectations for a shop right next to the Duomo! Not just a tourist trap. Very cute and clean on the inside with lots of seating both in and outdoors. The mini cannolis with pistachio filling and chocolate filling were 1.50€ each and were to die for. I can't wait to go back and try the ricotta cannoli & the macaroons! read more

Some quality, well-priced gelato right here. 4 euro for 2 flavors, cup or cone, and they give you your money's worth + a wafer on top. And a backdrop for a #foodintheair. read more

Really good coffee, we had cuppucino and plain croissants. Ambiance is quite hip and lively. read more

Don Nino - Caffe - Patisserie/Cake Shop Near Me - Florence, FI

Overpriced (16 euro for two cones with two scoops each) and stale cones. Not to mention it's directly in a touristy area. Not worth it.

It's super over priced. Most places cost 2.50-4 euros for two flavors but this place costs 8 euros and it's not even good. Given their cup is bigger than the average but it isn't 8 euros big. We tried tiramisu and mix berry both were below average in flavor. We saw a long line so we thought we would try it but it totally isn't worth it. There's also no signage stating prices so we were totally shocked when she told us the price. You have been warned. read more

Went there, not reallly friendly. They didn't help at all! And honestly I've had better! Beautiful setup! I love there instagram I honestly was hoping for the best! But maybe next time. read more

2.875 stars. Chocolate good. Strawberry sorbet good. Chocolate good. Cannolli bad. Go to Venchi instead. Better prices and gelato.

Amazing gelato! I always get the same Stracciatella and it never gets old. The people are very friendly and give you chocolate and a cookie on top!! read more

Incredibly over priced tourist trap. Charged us 30 euros for three gelato cones and two cookies. The deserts were fine but not great. Avoid, there are several nearby gelaterias that will serve you better. read more

Good tasting gelato, but extremely over priced. Tourist trap right outside the Duomo in Florence.

Delicious Cannoli/ classic Sicilian pistachio cannoli is freshly filled and dusted per each order, a absolute must try!! read more

SKIP THIS PLACE!!! If you are a tourist Florence, do not shell out money for their gelato. Although it's in a convenient place next to the duomo and the gelato was creamy and indulgent, we had to pay 17 euro for two gelato cones. Places like gelataria del Neri and Eduoardo if you're looking for a gelato place near the duomo are soooooo good. And both cost about 5-7 euros for 2 people whereas Don Nino is clearly trying to rip off unsuspecting tourists and overcharging. Not cool. read more

My husband and I are visiting from the states and in the time we have been in Florence we have visited twice! Don Nino is absolutely just amazing for gelato and coffee cravings! Also, it is right by the Duomo. read more

This is actually really good, however it is €9 for a single scoop in a cup, not worth it in my opinion, I would double check prices before you order here. I get it's a touristy place but most others are 1.5-2€ can't justify the cost at all. read more

Amazing gelato and a great variety of flavors!! Right outside the duomo with outdoor seating. They also have a cute indoor seating area.

The gelato here is quite tasty. The texture was creamy and they had a good variety of toppings. Your gelato is topped with whipped cream, a chocolate drizzle and a wafer cookie at no extra charge. The cannoli was also very good. They do have long lines at the gelato window so be prepared to wait a few minutes. The reason I gave a 4 star rating is because of the prices. Really, ten Euro for a medium gelato cone?! Overall this place is a good stop for gelato if you don't mind the prices. read more

Don Nino - Excellent cannoli! - Patisserie/Cake Shop Near Me - Florence, FI

This place is very touristy, so the taste of their food reflects that factor. Looks will deceive you with their food eyeing you from the windows. The cannoli was hard and the ricotta cheese was not creamy. The chocolate gelato tasted like gasoline and was all melted. read more

Don't go to this cafe, the cakes are not fresh and very bad and expensive. If you go on the terasse you will paye 6 euros insteed of 4 euros and no one will inform you. If you ask for a glass of tap watter you will pay 1 euros. The waitress was very implolite too. We took 2 cakes of 4 euros and we get a note of 13.5 euros !! a real thief read more

This is a truly beautiful place with a kind and English speaking staff. It looks fabulous with lots of invention and sense for detail. This is clearly visible even from the cakes, sandwiches and other traits. It was raining so we took the closest place to the dome, and were so lucky - very good coffee, great cannoli as well as Ice Cream. Don Nino definitely helped to save my rainy day in Florence :) read more
