The former was a blend of taro paste, sago, and boba in a light but creamy soup. The latter was a mix of lychee jelly, fruit pieces, shaved ice, and aiyu jelly in juice. Refreshing, light, and not too sweet--perfect for an after-dinner summer treat. I would absolutely go again if we had time!

If you're in the mood for some yummy sweet treats, I would recommend stopping by Acqua Dolce…read more It wasn't too crowded, we were seated right away. The place is smaller than I thought, but has a sufficient amount of tables without feeling crowded, I had the mango shaved ice. It was very good. Not my favorite mango treat, but definitely delicious and very refreshing! Can't wait to try more items on the menu!

There are actually two lines / stores - one with all the options on the right and one with original and pistachio options on the left.

Such an amazing combo with the espresso!

Decided to give this popular social media trend a try. It was insanely busy with multiple lines…read morejust from a social media post. Great that their business is doing well. In terms of the affogato, it's not worth the long lines. Tasted fine for the average coffee or gelato person. But if you like your coffee bold with deep characteristics, you might be disappointed as the massive rush tends to dilute the coffee draw by the barista. Espressos are not as rich. In addition, don't think their beans are of quality either. Collectively, it tasted fine as a combo, just not worth the heat, wait, and crowd. If you enjoy a lively pool of people with concert like ambience, this might be up your alley along with social media posting. Lower that expectation and you'll enjoy the vibe. FYI, they do not serve you through the window. You can do it yourself but that's putting you on the spot on why you are there.

Great gelato!

At which point the lady behind the counter decided to stop serving and run to the bathroom to ask in a very accusatory tone "can I help you" at which point I said "not yet I'm going g to wash my hands and by right with you". Get response was "no not until you buy something". Atmosphere became a little hostile and certainly lowered my impression of the place. Not something I have felt elsewhere in Florence. This alone was enough for me to leave. There are better attitudes and nicer places to go all around. Stay away is my advice.

Il Rey Gelato is the most authentic, neighborhood, amazing, the best gelato I have ever had. And…read morethat is saying a lot because I eat a lot of gelato and go to Italy very frequently! I had stracciatella and nociolla. So good. They both were so rich and so perfectly balanced as flavors. You know that this gelato place is really good because it only had Italian people in it! The service is amazing and they let me do as many samples as I wanted, and they were very patient about explaining each of the flavors. I would go back here every time I come to Italy. Such a cute small neighborhood dive The perfect late night dessert! I ate at a terrible restaurant this evening, vecchio cancello, but this Il Rey Gelato brightened my day It is in a little bit of a sketchy area, but once you arrive it is not bad. There were a lot of questionable people hanging out outside of the restaurant, but they did not make any attempts to steal my things or anything like that. So do not worry

They had delicious unique flavors like the Dubai chocolate and the creamy pistachio ricotta, family liked it so much they wanted it twice in our three days in Florence (we wanted to try a bunch of different gelato spots).

Ive…read moretried a few of these sandwich shops around the area and I' Girone de' Ghiotti stands out on top. From the perfectly baked bread that is warm, a crunchy outer and isnt dense, to the fantastic combination of ingredients, I was enjoying every bit (and/or bite) of my sandwich. I ordered the La Rossa and wow my tastebuds were dancing. The prosciutto, truffle cream, brie and arugula made for such a delicious sandwich. Ugh, I cant wait to try more. I ended up finding a seat at the narrow and small bar area along the cramped space where you order/pay for your order. There is more seating upstairs but I didnt get to see it. I didnt mind that small area to eat since eating a sandwich isnt very space-consuming.

I then went to make another order , I told him iced tea , he looks at me like I'm stupid and says , which iced tea there's a lot of different ones , in the US iced tea is a specific drink so I didn't know . He could have just explained how it works and not look at me or talk to me very sarcastically . Where I'm from it's disrespectful but I have to be polite no matter how rude someone is. The bathroom is very dirty. Has foul smell. Also no one is there to wipe down the tables when people finish so it was dirty. Food was not bad to be honest but the service and cleanliness could have been better . Italy offers the best in many things but I won't be coming back to this location. If this guy was not there I think we would have had a better experience without a doubt The same guy will be responding to this post by the way
