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.

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!

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. The staff is super friendly, especially if you're making an effort to communicate in Italian. And as you'd expect, this cafe has a neighborhood, local feel. 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!!

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.

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.
