I studied abroad in Florence a few years ago, and I recommend this place to everyone who tells me they're visiting. I would literally go at least once a day, I'm not even exaggerating. I even made a TikTok video about it that went semi-viral. Every single flavor is amazing, but the ricotta pistachio stole my heart. The staff is also very sweet, which made the experience even better. I've tried a lot of gelato across Italy, and I still dream about this place. Nothing but positive vibes for this place. I simply cannot wait to go back!!

What can you do when you're in Florence looking for the best gelato? You have to go here and hopefully the line is not too long. But if it is, you wait anyway. Great selection. Great service. Great gelato.

coffee + yogurt w/ cherries

During my time in Firenze I made it my intention to try as many gelato spots as I could. Gelateria dei Neri came recommended, and since we had just finished dinner nearby we thought it was the perfect place to check out for dessert. dei Neri's setup is typical of most other gelaterias I visited; walking in we were immediately greeted by the display case with all the flavors, and they have a small seating area to the side in case you want to sit and enjoy your treat. I didn't want to overdo it so I went with one of the smaller sizes, and chose two flavors - the cream and the yogurt with cherries. The gelato was excellent, honestly some of the best I had while in Firenze. It was super creamy and full of flavor - especially the yogurt with cherries, I'm still thinking about it. Service was good, we were taken care of promptly and everyone was friendly. Overall, dei Neri is definitely worth checking out while in Firenze - next time I'm in the city I will be sure to return.

We found this gelateria based on rave reviews from a social media couple I kind-of-not-really-follow. The shop was just a few blocks from our hotel, which was a bonus, and open later, which was another bonus. It was also consistently packed. People at every table inside, people on the street outside, people crowding the door. That was a good sign for the quality of the gelato. Once inside we were able to see the array of flavors on offer, everything from the "normal" (chocolates and such) to the more creative (rice gelato, anyone?) The staff was friendly and efficient, even when they were being swarmed by groups of customers demanding a scoop of their finest gelato. We stopped in twice during our time in Firenze and both times enjoyed the flavors of the gelato and the friendliness of the staff.

My previous favorite gelato flavor: ricotta and fig. My new favorite gelato flavor: popcorn! I don't know how they come up with these unique flavors, but it I am perpetually amazed. The staff is super nice and doesn't get annoyed at indecisive tourists not knowing what to get. Psst, see above. There are even a few tables in the store where you can enjoy your gelato before they melt into a sticky mess in the summer heat.

Prices

There's many price points for their gelatos ranging from 2.50 Euros and up to 5 Euros (cone size) / 7 Euros (cup size). I think the amount of flavors you get depends on the size that you get. You can ask the staff to advise. We got and shared three different gelato flavors in the 3 Euros cup size: tiramisu, pistachio, and mango. We enjoyed the gelatos and the tiramisu was our least favorite since the rum flavor was a bit strong. Service was super quick during the time we went. There's a couple of tables and seats in the gelato shop and we got to enjoy our gelato treat inside. :)

The gelato is really great. A friend who is from firenze recommended and I'm so glad she did. Good flavors and taste is wonderful. Went twice in my two day trip.

Pistachio
Andrew L.

Holy cow this gelateria is sooooo delicious and creamy! We went during night time and there was a small line out the door, but it was well worth the trek! And by that I mean just a short walk from our airbnb haha. No place to really sit down, but a good time to eat and take a stroll. Gelato: DELICIOUS! Creamy and sweet. I ordered the pistachio which I mean, you can't go wrong with pistachio gelato. Something about the dairy in Italy makes this whole thing better. The range in a variety of flavors including nondairy ones. Service: super helpful! We were tourists but they spoke basic English and helped us with ease. Everything was very straight forward.

Cherry Mania and Ricotta
Brett N.

Why 5 stars? Because I'm a broken record at this point, but it's gelato in Europe! --- --- --- My first 4 days of my European vacation were spent in Barcelona and Florence. Each night, I finished the evening with gelato. Each night, it was wonderful. Gelateria dei Neri was the grand finale. Not a ton separates any of the places I visited, to be honest. What stands out here were the flavors that were available. Cherry Mania and Ricotta were two of them and I snagged both. Neither disappointed. I will think of them fondly for all of my days.

Stracciatella, pistachio, and cream
Stephanie D.

My favorite gelato in Florence! I've returned to this gelateria every time I visit Florence! They have the most authentic assortment of flavors and truly fresh ingredients. The gelato is so creamy and soft, I dream of it. My favorite flavor is their Rice gelato (almost like a rice pudding flavor), however, it's seasonal. On my most recent visit I tried the following flavors: stracciatela, ricotta and fig, pistachio, egg cream, passion fruit, mango, and coconut. Heavenly!

Fraggola (strawberry) Mango Chocolate
Sabrina K.

Amazing! We got fraggola (strawberry), mango, and chocolate. We tried A LOT of gelato while in Italy and this was one of the best!

Curt T.

Only bad thing about this place is too many flavors to choose from! So creamy and not overly sweet Fast and super friendly service. We tried 4 flavors and every single one of them was delicious.

There is a reason this gelato place has a line. And that is because it is superior to the others.

This review is long overdue for our visit back in November of 2024. I was looking up Nduja recipe…read moreand reminded myself this was the place that initiated my love for Nduja sauce. American/Aussie owned bakery brunch spot by the river, such a cute little eatery. We loved our visit and though it's definitely more of a touristy spot, as most customers spoke English, the food was delicious to forgo the tourist trappy vibes. We shared a plate and added some items as we didn't want to get too stuffed on our first day of Florence. We had the Nduja Eggs plate with bacon and avocado added. Nduja is a spicy Calabrian pepper spreadable pork sauce, and oh boy was it so flavorful. If I remembered correctly, Melaleuca spread this sauce on top of a fried bread and eggs. I don't see it on the menu at the moment and it's probably a rotatable dish... but it definitely kicked started my hunt for the sauce. Since this is a spreadable pork, it's not something I could bring back to the US but I was able to find it online back home. The service was amazing and the beverages were delicious. Like many Italian places, the dining room is small and bathroom is a single small room that might require a small wait if they're busy. Didn't get to try their baked goods this last time, but definitely on our list to go back for more when we're back to Florence for a visit.

A gem Just around the corner from Our air bnb. Stopped in on…read moreour last day here (should have sooner!) delicious brunch and carrot cake! Oh and the mimosa!! Nice to have a real brunch, not just coffee and croissant. Service was great and the place was busy but not loud. Can't speak highly enough. Go u won't be sorry!

The food was a pleasure to eat. I ordered classic egg's Benedict. I wanted my egg poached medium…read morebut I was told by an unfriendly dry as dirt Italian waitress that I could only have it runny. I then had to take a little more time to find something else. A lovely American waitress came over and helped me.(I'm not saying she's lovely because she's American, she just was really friendly) She explained that the cook makes all the poached eggs in one big pot and can't specialize one for a customer. She said they could fry it medium well and that worked for me. The other waitress offered to fry the egg or scramble it but she just wasn't friendly, and she didn't give me all the choices of how I could get the egg fried. That really helped me make my choice. The egg's Benedict came with American pork bacon and not Canadian bacon. The hollandaise sauce was deliciousness, but they give you such a small amount. They need to double it. Another reviewer mentioned how good the green hot sauce was, so I tried it. It was spot on great!! I made sure every bite had the green sauce on it. I usually only like shredded hash browns but their breakfast potatoes were perfect. They weren't hard and had a good flavor. The restaurant was clean but very small. It had a nice relaxing feel. I love to try the food of the country I'm visiting, but after traveling for two weeks it was nice to have something I eat at home. The eggs Benedict was a treat. I had the hot amaretto coffee drink and that just hit the spot and made the waiting to be seated all worth it. The had many types of milk you can put in your coffee, for example, they have soy milk, oat milk, etc. I would definitely recommend this place and come back. Oh and the less than friendly waitress served my food to me with a smile, but she never smiled again and never accepted my thank you's no matter how much I said them. Word of advice don't have a sad face if they can't provide something the way you want it if the waitress is blond and Italian. That will not go over well. You're not allowed to be quietly disappointed.

A little of the usual path, Yelp! recommended this place and was happy to have tried it. The place…read moreis classic, the service was of the best, and the food was excellent. We had the avocado, salmon eggs plate and the eggs benedict. Both were perfectly prepared and exactly what you would hope for in a top-tier cafe. The eggs had a hint of orange citrus that added to the joy of the meal. This super comfortable, clean restaurant with fantastic service and food will be on our best-of-best list in the future!
