The bases are different mixtures of milk depending on the flavors. If you're lucky, you might even get a tour of the workshop in the back. The nero assoluto is stunning, great combined with some of the fruit flavors. Easy to find if you take the northern of the two entrances to the piazza off Via Fillungo, then go thru the tunnel, and turn left...it's right there. Not a fancy place, but really the best in town.

They are made by the owner Tommaso himself who has many years in crafting unique flavors in artisanal gelato making, no artificial flavor here. My favorite is Licorice and salty and sweet Pistachio. Sooo good. Tommaso was so kind to me and my friend to show his laboratorio in the back of his shop. I told him I will work for free when I am in Lucca on vacation Lol ! I will be here for two months I hope he takes my offer! I can taste all flavors when he makes them fresh everyday! I highly recommend La Bottega del Gelato for sure!

This place has the cutest atmosphere and the decor is super cute! I love the sky like ceiling with the swings hanging down (you can actually swing on them) and the colorful textured chairs. Stop in and take a window seat to people watch! You won't regret it! I think we brought in extra business as people passed by they asked us about the place! My favorite flavor is yogurt! I also tried hazelnut but didn't like it. My friends had pistachio and crepe brûlée. Another had lemon and chocolate! Cute and chic sums this place up! :)

The cookies are all crumble in your mouth fresh, with an attention to quality that is immediately apparent. Each offering has a unique style and flavor, and everything is very reasonably priced.

It's stylish and lively, but not overwhelming. One of our favorite spots in Montecatini.

My mother and I were on vacation in Montecatini at a hotel that was a 1 minute walk away (dangerous). Our morning routine was to get a cappuccino and un caffe. The espresso was strong and full of flavor. Most days we came back later in the day and tried other varieties - all great. Now about the desserts....nothing like I've ever tasted in America! Everything was so clean, had unique tastes with a perfect amount of sweetness - just mouthwatering. The prices were super low too. One visit we got 5 pastries for 8 euros. Giovannini makes me want to vacation there again ASAP!!
