What an absolute treat! From cookies to gelato, and featuring a variety of coffee options,…read morePasticceria Giovannini is worth the stop. 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.

Words don't do this place justice! Amazing pasticceria!!! Friendly staff, super affordable, amazing…read moreespresso and the desserts are out of this world. 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!!

The eye is the first sensation to be tantalized as you walk in to the most gorgeous bakery I have ever seen. Decadent chocolates abound and the pies and cakes are exquisite. We decided on milk chocolate gelato tonight. Tomorrow we will be returning for cheese cake and some fruit tarts. They also have coffees and cappuccino's for late night pick-me-ups. Stop in and stay a while and enjoy the locals hanging out.

Best Italian Ice-Cream Ever? I think so!…read moreMy grandma is from the area and I've had my share of amazing Italian ice-cream through the years but this one is by far the best I've ever had. Large and original range of ice-creams, low prices and nice service Can't wait to go back!

That might explain the 25-pounds I gained while living in Italy but that's a whole other story... The cappuccinos are out of this world. Strong and smooth all at the same time, creamy with the perfect amount of foam. Exactly what you need to wake up in the morning. Their pastries, all made in house, are equally delightful. I usually just grabbed a single brioche to accompany my coffee but occasionally sprung for a dozen to take into work. I bought my mom a birthday cake at Roxy Bar once, too. It was all SO good! Staff are incredibly warm and friendly. They were always happy to see me and put up with my awful Italian for 4 solid years. If you find yourself anywhere close to Ponsacco (about an hour from Florence, 30 minutes from Pisa), be sure to make a visit to Roxy Bar! I promise it will be a highlight of your trip. I'm going back to Italy for a visit in August and Roxy Bar will be my first stop!
