Great place for gelato. The taste was amazing and the amount was generous. It was a bit hidden but once you find it you can enjoy its amazing food. Definitely recommend it : ) read more

Our VRBO apartment was only a couple steps from this Gelateria so the five of us were here often during our week in Florence. The varieties were creative and the tourists said they believed that the gelati hidden under the metal covers had better quality than the gelati piled high to attractd the tourists. My preferred version was La Crema becuase it used milk and was more like the ice cream I was used to in the States. The gelati that was only fruit juice and water was like a sorbet that I didn't care for. However, many stood in long lines in this place because it was very popular. read more

This place had the best gelato in Florence!! The flavors are so unique and fresh it was a frequent stop for us during our time in Florence. I loved the ricotta with fig flavor (which included actual chunks of fig). The gelato itself was creamy, like all gelato in florence but somehow just so memorable. Definitely a must go whenever you're in florence. read more

The first thing I do when I start researching our vacation spots is look for the best gelato/ice cream shops. My husband is obsessed with gelato so I like to find the best spots for him to test out. We ate a lot of delicious gelato when we were in Florence and have been to plenty of outstanding shops all over the world. My husband said this was hands down the best gelato he has ever had. His go to flavors are hazelnut and pistachio and they were both incredibly creamy with a depth of flavor that was truly remarkable. The chocolate cherry gelato was also a personal favorite. Cannot recommend this spot enough! read more

We were walking around Firenze after having lunch just exploring and taking in the sights when I came to the realization I had not consumed any gelato yet that day. It just so happened that we were close to Gelateria della Passera and after a quick Yelp search I saw that this was one of the more notable gelaterias in the city. That's all you needed to say to me, and on that note I quickly went inside to check it out. Like other gelaterias I visited, the interior of della Passera isn't large - it's a simple setup with the coolers on the back wall as soon as you enter. What's noteworthy about della Passera is that the gelato is not on display, but rather in bins covered by lids. I've heard that this maintains the freshness of the gelato but I can see how opinions differ on this subject. Anyway, I usually get cups but was in the mood for a cone so I went with a small ricotta with fig. I enjoyed the gelato - it was smooth with good flavor. The ricotta gave it a fresh taste and the candied fig really elevated it. Service was good, I was taken care of promptly and could tell they take a lot pride in their shop. Overall this is a solid option for gelato in Firenze - I wouldn't be against returning here next time I'm in the city. read more

By far the best gelato we had during our 4-town trip to Italy. The flavors were absolutely phenomenal and unique compared to pretty much every other gelato shop we visited. This place literally comes up in conversation with my wife on a monthly basis. There's truly no place like it in Florence. Absolutely worth the trip across the river if you're spending most of your time on the other side. read more

Stopped here many times for gelato as it was in the piazza just outside our AirBnB. Excellent quality and service. Sometimes a long line for it, but that really just speaks to the quality. read more

Best Gelato in Florence, hands down. Super friendly environment in a very cute and convenient area. The pear gelato is incredible. It brought my girlfriend to tears- and that isn't a joke. We went back for seconds every time. But one time, we walked 30 minutes to get there and it was closed despite Apple Maps saying it was open. So we booked the late train just to come back the next morning, because my girlfriend was itching for more pear gelato. We arrive at the establishment at opening after another 30 minute walk. NO PEAR GELATO Please bring back the Pear. The people need it. We may no longer be in Florence, but the next generation of pear gelato eaters is among us. They yearn for the pear. It is forever in our hearts, as is Gelateria Della Passera read more

The BEST fruit flavors we had in Italy. Came twice and prob going again. The mandarin tastes just like a clementine tangerine and so does the pink grapefruit. The peach flavor was mild but natural. Will be back to try blueberry and the other fruit flavors. The hand drawn signs are lovely. read more

A short queue in the calm firenze alleys south of the Arno lead to the unique flavors of this gelateria. I tried the melon, the grapefruit, the yogurt, the dark berry, all of them were unique and the taste of the fruit shone through. It felt like they had extracted grapefruit juice in the back and churned it just a few hours ago. I had to try the dark chocolate given the success with the others, and it was just as dark, rich and chocolatey as I had hoped. The scoops were small, but also cheap, all the more reason to try multiple flavors. read more

This is the best gelato we have had during this whole trip (one gelato every day). Very flavorful, thick and It is very delicious and the price is even cheaper than the one on the other streets. read more

The best gelato I've ever had. I was in Florence for 3 days and in Rome for 3 days. I had a gelato from a different place every day. Gelateria Della Passera is the best one by far. Lots of GREEN FLAGS for this store. First off, it is located in an alley - away from foot traffic and yet still manages to attract a line. Secondly, the gelato are not on display; they are under metal lids. This is a great sign because it means the gelato does not have extra preservatives and needs the lid to be temperature preserved. I know I will be thinking about this gelato for a long time and it will be at the top of my list if I'm ever back in Florence read more

The gelato is the best in Florence. There are a few places in Florence that truly have authentic gelato and this is my personal favorite. The tourist traps have gelato stacked high to catch your attention, however the best ones are ones like this! The apple strudel was fantastic an trastes just like apple pie. Also, the customer service is fantastic. The lady at the front (with a nose ring) was so nice and very informative! 5/5 all around! read more

One word! AHMAZING!!!! Easy to miss place as it tucked away in a small space. This place is incredible. The flavors are like nothing here. I usually get chocolate flavors but this is the first time I tried other flavors. I got the lavender and mulberry. Oh my gosh! They were incredible! Also tried the melon and banana. Absolutely delicious. Wish we had found this place sooner. read more

Oh my gosh I'm kicking myself for not finding this place sooner!!! Literally the BEST gelato flavor I've had since being in Florence came from this place. I got the Crema and Monna Lisa flavors and they were fantastic. The Crema, however, was by far my favorite. It had hints of orange, which pleasantly surprised me! I will definitely try to stop by here one more time before I go home because it was awesome!!! Highly recommend. read more

We stayed in an apartment basically above Gelateria della Passera. It is small, without the great displays elsewhere. The difference, however, is the intense flavours of the gelato which is so much better than elsewhere. Great visit. Oh, and the ice creams are also not ridiculously sized. read more

Super cute shop tucked away in the corner of an alleyway. I tried many gelato places while in Florence, but this was my personal favorite.

Best gelato we had on our trip. The portions on the small side but the flavors were rich and fresh (each stored container of gelato is covered). After coming back home, we still talk about this place. read more

I couldn't have dreamed of a better first gelato in Italy! The perfect creamy texture and beautiful flavors! I had the ricotta and citrus and the pistachio. I can't wait to go again and try more. read more

Best gelato I had in Italy. Really really good. The hype is well deserved! The vanilla was especially good.

Nice little place; pleasant, patient, and attentive server that only show they love their job. This is a good welcome to the place, arriving just few hours ago. You turned our worst experience around from the pizzeria (Lo Sprone) that was a few steps away from you. Thanks to you! read more

Normally I wouldn't write a review for this. But it was highly rated and this place missed the mark. It was dripping down my hand before I even left the establishment. This is just your regular gelato shop on every street corner. Save yourself the trouble and the huge line and go anywhere else for ok tasting gelato. Which this place is. It's eh. read more

Yummy Yummy in my tummy! Intense intense flavors. KAPOWWW KAPOWWW My tongue was flavor bombed by the orange chocolate and coffee resting on my sugarcone. I was not just licking ice-cream, I was witnessing some kind of sensual awakening among my taste buds. Hands down my favorite gelato place after Il Latte in Roma. You can eat gelato after every meal in Italy and your whole day's worth of gelato will cost less than one cup you'll have anywhere else. So go nuts and eat lots of gelato! read more

Classic, well made gelato. Cute and quaint shop. The best gelato is the one you can't see from the street.

Gelato just wasn't the same after I had gelato at this place. The flavor options are exotic, creative, and very tasty. My favorite was the cream with 7 spices one -- "Crema ai 7 Profumi". It rocked my world. Usually, as a tourist, I try to do new things every day, but I kept coming back here, day after day, even though it was across town and over the river from my hostel. No other gelato shop anywhere in the US or Italy has compared to the experience I had with this place. They use very fresh ingredients--I once came upon them before they opened and there was piles of fresh whole fruit on the counters waiting to be mixed in to the gelato. The service was excellent. No bathrooms. read more

This is a cute spot to grab some homemade, fresh gelato. I got one scoop of something with alcohol and one scoop of vanilla. It was a great combo, and for 2 euro, a steal. FYI the scoops are tiny so 2 scoops is more like 1 by US standards. The texture was really smooth but not totally perfect, which I enjoyed bc that bit of unevenness = no fillers. The other ppl in my group said they really enjoyed the delicious fruit flavors (white peach, blueberry, etc). Some advice I got from a local guide: - the smaller shops that make gelato often use lids to cover their gelato tubs (other reviewers have also mentioned this). The gelato tubs are always inside the shop. - the places that serve super brightly colored gelato with outdoor window access and overfilled bins don't usually make their own gelato and the super bright colors = additives, food coloring etc - also PASSERA is a reference to lady parts bc this square used to be known for its brothels.. it's also triangle shaped read more

I went back in October 2016 and was referred by our B&B nearby. They say the key to good gelaterias is to find the spots that cover the gelato -- a little birdy told us that other places are not homemade/legit gelato. It was a cute nook outside of this piazza and not busy at all. They had plenty of flavors to choose from like: - fig - passion fruit - lemon - orange rose - mojito - raspberry - yogurt - vanilla - chocolate - pistachio - creme - hazelnut And MORE! They had a variety of cones too plus a traditional cup vessel. I went with my favorite chocolate and pistachio combo on a sugar cone. Divine! read more

This was the best gelato i've ever had!! (I've traveled a good amount throughout Italia too) This is a not a touristy trap. They don't have the insane over the top displays of fake ice cream with fruit and crap. It's just a sweet cozy storefront with some cute signs and the best damn gelato in town (possibly the planet). At €1 per scoop you get a ton for the price. The staff is super friendly and ready to give out extra samples and spoons. My toddler took full of advantage of this. The flavors cover all the staples (Fragola - strawberry, Nocciola (my fav) - hazelnut, Limon, yogurt, vanilla etc) and some not so standard Mona Lisa (walnut vanilla raisin cognac + others). Try them all... we hit it up everyday we were there. Sometimes twice a day! Deliziosissima!!!! read more
