For all your complex flavor needs! Oh, you can get the classics here too, but you can get the classics pretty much anywhere in Firenze (watch out for tourist traps tho'. If there is mound piled high with gelato, walk away). The thing to get here, tho', is the fun stuff - you'll find all sorts of interesting combinations, and, this is the interesting part, they've all got the "gelato" part down pat! The right consistency, temperature, ingredients, etc. - nothing here to make you feel like you're having something out of a supermarket! read more

Nice service but I had plenty of better gelato in Florence and In Italy. Find a better gelato. read more

This has been one of my favorite gelatos places here in Florence. Very good. Loved the fragola flavor with the limone and basil together. Mango, pistachio, and tiramisu have also been delicious read more

This is probably one of the best gelato we had in Florence! Honestly, for €1.80 for a piccolo size cup with a waffle piece , how could you beat this? They overloaded our cups with generous portions. It was nice and creamy. read more

Lots of unique variety in the flavors. Been a couple of times and loved all that we've tried. The brioches with gelato was wonderful. They also have a punch card for repeat visits which were working on! read more

While living in Florence this summer, this place was ranted and raved about for being the best Gelateria in all of Firenze. God help me, they weren't kidding. I used the occasion of a buddy visiting from Stuttgart to finally make the trek out to find this place, and boy was it worth it. I was literally salivating looking at the wide variety of fresh-made gelato. Literally. Salivating. My go-to gelato benchmark is nocciolo, but I couldn't help throwing an orange peel flavor in. I can't even describe it. This was the best frozen dessert I've ever had in my life. read more

I will not have ONE favourite gelateria in Firenze, I will have multiple favourites and I will trek to each corner of the city for their signature flavors. That's the conclusion I am coming to. Tonight, I decided to stop into Il Procopio because I pass it everyday, maybe two or three times a day and I have never once stopped. However, on the last couple of times I noticed something about an award from the city of Florence for their gelato... or something to that effect. I was worried that I was a bit too late, but at 8:30 p.m. they were still open, a customer sitting outside eating a popsicle. I went in and was greeted by the man behind the counter (very tall by the way... as I looked up from the gelato I was staring straight at his chest). I was taken by the flavor called "Il Procopio". Apparently it had won an award for being innovative. Of course I had to try it, not to mention it looks absolutely stunning with pistachios, candied orange peel, and almonds on top of a bed of creaminess. I ordered my usual piccola copetto (1,70) and started to get out money when the guy said, "But what flavor do you want?" I just went into gelato etiquette mode. So I told him that I wanted Il Procopio and then he asked if I just wanted one flavor or to mix. I said out loud, "That's a really good question!" He looked at me like I was crazy. So I went with one that had a name that didn't really describe the flavor, Don Raffae. From the case, it looked like a tan gelato with some chocolate drizzle and maybe some nuts on top... to be honest, I think it tasted a bit like coffee, but I was paying far more attention to the Il Procopio. There has to be a story behind Don Raffae, as I did a bit of Googling and discovered that it is a song... a politically charged song... maybe I need to go back and ask for more information about that flavor. However, the real reason I am giving Il Procopio five stars is for the Il Procopio flavour. It is an almond gelato with plenty of candied orange peel, pistachios, and almonds. It is absolutely heavenly. I don't usually like candied orange peel, but it worked really well with the almond gelato and really well with the salty bits of pistachio. And they aren't fooling around with just a couple of pieces on top, there is a surprise in every bite. If they could ship that to the states, I would be ordering lots of it. I actually think, in reviewing all of my favourite flavours from my favourite gelateria, that this flavour is now my new favourite. I don't know about the other flavours and although they certainly looked delicious, you really do have to try their signature flavor Il Procopio. read more

The store is just a few blocks out of the historical and touristy centre of Firenze and well worth the short diversion to find it. I'm allergic to gluten and the owner has a family member with the same allergies, so he knows gluten allergies are no joke. They also offer vegan gelati. I literally went insane in this store. My friend and I together tried 12 different flavors. The lemon-mandarin was to die for. And the cinnamon-honey. Oh, and the salted caramel and peanut. Mmmmmm.... I'm salivating again. They also offer different textures of gelati. They have the usual colder, firmer gelati, but also a version which is creamier and softer and slightly less cold. Like eating really thick whipping cream. For sure this is the only place I will get my gelati when next I am lucky enough to be in Firenze. read more

Wow! You haven't had a true gelato until you've had one from this place. I learned today in our tour that gelato is made every day from fresh ingredients...and you can tell this place takes that seriously. The flavours of the ice cream go perfectly together and some flavours are not exactly what I would have thought would go together but they do! Our server was describing his gelato like it was art and was very helpful for us in deciding what to get. It definitely was art on a cone! This gelato will make your trip in Florence one to remember. A must stop if you're in the area! read more

We went twice. I was pleased both times. I preferred this place to Perche No. The people behind the counter are sooooo nice! Definitely try their signature flavor with pistachio, oranges and figs! read more

We've sampled from all the top gelato places but nothing compared to the place next door to our BnB by the Campo dei Ciompi. Il Procopio offers excellent crafted gelato and the best part is the line is not a mile long. Prices are competitive. For €2.80 you get a sugar cone filled with melted Chocolate then stuffed with up to 3 choices of delicious gelato. They have the standard flavors, but the really shine with the custom combinations they've created. Excellent. read more

Location: In the Santa Croce area. The place: More like a storefront with no seating area. However, the layout is perfect as the entire space in front of the displays is open. This gelateria is run by husband and wife, two people who really seem to enjoy what they do. I had the awesome privilege of going into the prep area and watch the gelato king at work while he explained the gelato-making process. This process is incredibly time-consuming and essentially requires Procopio to spend all day, each day, making gelato. He feels very strongly about maintaining the high quality of his product and clearly stated that it's all about the love. He is passionate about his craft and even more so about making his clients happy. Gelato: So, so good. I tried the limone è basilico and loved it. It's the perfect balance of sweet and sour, and literally bursting with flavour. A refreshing choice on a hot summer day. I also tried a flavour whose name I only partially remember, D. Rafaè - nuts, coffee and chocolate, if I recall. I loved this flavour. It was just perfect for my taste buds! The same goes for their award-winning flavour whose name I also don't remember because I was too busy eating this fabulous gelato! Price point: Budget friendly. If you're in Florence, this is a must. read more

Il Procopio provides an array of interesting flavors. I'm a fan of their award winning flavor with pistachios and orange peels as well as their cinnamon apple flavor. I would have never noticed this place if it not for my group of classmates that came in here. I'm glad we did come in here though because the flavors are just so special and the gelato was made perfectly. One more gelato spot to save on my list of amazing eats in Firenze! yummmm read more

I am learning that it is hit and miss to find a good restaurant and gelateria here. We were in need of some gelato and went into this place. We were very surprised at how tasty the gelato here were. The pistachio flavor was the best I had, I could smell the toasted pistachio in my mouth. We also had their coffee and chocolate and the dark chocolate and hazel nut, they were both very tasty. We will be back for more. read more

Best pistachio gelato in Florence. Workers are nice and there are always new flavors to try.

This was the best gelato we had in Italy. I recommend trying it here at least once. You won't be disappointed.

The best gelato ever! It's very authentic and delicious! :))) Affordable and amazingly good! The best that I had so far! Only locals go there! read more

Best gelato I've ever had. They're creative with their flavors and take care to use great ingredients.

Florence resident here. One of my top two in Florence. They have unusual flavours and use very expensive ingredients. They add in quite a lot, (nuts, cake, etc etc) and you have to like that style of gelato. Really deserving of awards they have gotten. read more
