Biscotti , stracciatella, and strawberry

The only REAL gelato I had in Italy! Every other place is tourist trap: this gelato is kept in deep metal tins, and is so creamy. 10/10!!! Flavors were all amazing too.

Best gelato in Florence! The flavors are creative and delicious! The staff is friendly and the shop itself is cute!

This was my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE gelato place we ate at in our entire 2 weeks in Italy, in all the cities we visited, from Bologna to the Amalfi coast. Walking up, there was a fairly long line but it only took about 20 min from us to have gelato in our hands from entering the queue by the photo booth around the corner. The inside of this place is decorated really cutely, with a shocking amount of seating inside. They have the metal container with a lid type of system (not the huge brightly colored mounds) so I had in inkling this place would be good. You do the came thing as other places, where you pay for the size you want and then come to pick your flavors. The people working here are friendly and super quick and efficient with scooping. I got the salted caramel gelato (caramello) with mulberry sorbet (gelso). This was actual heaven. I will dream about the salted caramel for the rest of my life, it was that good.

Delicious gelato recommended by our Airbnb host. There was quite a long line to get in, but it was worth it! Medium cup was 4 euros. Unique flavors. Highly recommend!!

The best gelato place we ended up trying out of all the cities we visited (Venice, Cinque Terre, Pisa, Florence). Sbrino checked all the boxes: metal tins with lids to store the gelato and maintain temperature, flat spatulas to scoop the flavors, natural-looking colors, and seasonal flavors. This place was recommended by someone we met who was studying abroad here. The flavors are listed in Italian outside, but if you go inside, they have English translations for the flavors as well. So many interesting flavors to try! I ended up splurging for the three scoops in a cone since there were so many flavors I wanted to try. They had bacio (hazelnut/chocolate), malaga (vanilla & wine; kind of like a rum & raisin flavor), and vanilla bourbon. So good! Very flavorful and silky and smooth texture. This was definitely one of the best (if not THE best) gelato places in Florence. It's conveniently located in the San Spirito district where a lot of the major tourist attractions are (although this was away from all the crazy crowds), so no excuse not to stop by here if you are visiting! Only wish we had discovered this place sooner!

Cookie gelato

Only gelato I have ever had with chunks of cookies in it instead of on top. Amazing flavor and consistency. I wish I had come here every night for my trip. There wasn't a long line or many people stopping by so the service was quick. You can't see the gelato so ask to try it if you are unsure.

1 scoop = 2 flavors

The gelato here is G-R-E-A-T. They have multiple locations in Florence (Italy), but I just happened to be close to this one and visited more than once. It was way better than Perche No. You can get a cone or cup for the same price of 3.50 euros. One scoop can be split into two flavors. Pistachio is a really popular one. During my first visit, they ran out of pistachio and the lady in line behind me got really upset. They said it would take a while for them to remake more. There were 3-4 people working at the time, so they could help 3-4 parties at a time. It's a tiny space inside. I say their best flavors are speculoos and salted caramel. Enjoy!!

Dark Chocolate & hazelnut cup & a dark chocolate & salted carmel cone

This was an amazing little gelateria right by the pitti palazzo. It was the perfect cold treat during the heat of midday. It had a bit of a line but went by very quickly, and was quite reasonably priced. The variety of flavor options was extensive with basics like dark chocolate to pumpkin seed to pear with chocolate chip. The flavor was rich and delicious, with the hazelnut having bits of nuts to add a little crunch to smooth texture. The dark chocolate tasted like a rich chocolate pudding. My girlfriend says the salted caramel was the best she ever had with a salty aftertaste- every salted caramel lover's dream. Also the portions were very good with each scoop being generous. They had quite an assortment of baked goods as well, which looked delicious and unique. After an exhausting walk in the Boboli Gardens this was the perfect afterstop.

BEST GELATO WE HAD IN ITALY. Seriously, not only was the texture and the feel amazing, the flavors were like mini explosions in my mouth. They had so many unique options as well! The Pistachio was the best we've ever tried.

The best gelato in Florence!! I wish I discovered it sooner than my last week here the mint lime flavor is so amazing and my sister still dreams of it haha! This place is underrated and so well priced! Not a tourist trap and so worth going to! HIGHLY recommend coming here if you're in Florence!

Incredibly tasty! Best gelato we've had in Florence.. I loved the coconut and salted caramel flavors most:)

Mahesh P.

Maybe the best gelato in FIrenze. Yes, i know, that is saying a lot. But I stand by my statement. The consistency/texture/ingredients are - as with most good gelaterie here - exceptional. It's the flavors that kick it over the top - dead accurate, and somehow redolent of the *essence* of whatever it is that you're having. I, literally, can't recommend this place any higher - if you can, go.

Lived in Florence for 4 months and this was by far the best gelateria. Great flavors and great service. Cinque stars.

La Strega Nocciola was one of several gelaterias that I tried while in Firenze. I made it my…read moreintention to try as much gelato as I could in the city so when we had some down time post-lunch we thought that a little sweet would hit the spot. To be transparent, one of the things that drew me to La Strega was the name, I wanted to see what was so witchy about this gelato - and of course the positive reviews helped. The gelateria itself was lovely - soft music playing with intricate decor and a good amount of space. There were a few chairs and stools in case you wanted to sit and enjoy, though they were a little awkwardly placed. There were several flavors of gelato as expected - instead of being on display they were in tubs covered in lids. I heard that's the "proper" way to store gelato as it remains fresher, though the jury is still out for me on that one. Anyway, I got the smallest cup size where I was able to choose two flavors - so I went with the cream and the chestnut. The gelato was really good - creamy with great flavor. Service was great, and overall this was a solid gelateria - La Strega is definitely worth stopping into when in Firenze.

This shops is conveniently located not far from the duomo. The witch theme is so cute and they have…read moresome inhouse flavors available which I chose my. The service is kind and patient with those who struggle to order in Italian.

I got very lucky and there was a very short line when I visited (around 5pm on a thursday). They…read moreclose around 6 so that is maybe why there was no one. If the espresso bar side is closed, you can go to the gelato side and they have the pistachio and orignal there as well. The full menu is only available at the espresso bar. I ordered the hazelnut and it was delicious. I still dream of this affogato. Smooth, rich, perfect mix of sweetness and bitterness. I do think this is worth a stop if you are in Florence.

Was so lucky to pass by this place and notice a lot ladies outside photographing and talking about…read moreit. Apparently it's tik tok famous for affogato! I had not had a chance to order an affogato since I arrived in Italy. I was always ordering espresso everywhere. Of course I jet inside to the quick moving line, maybe 10 people... and ordered the pistacio affogato not regular. To my surprise it was a scoop of pistacio gelato with coffee poured in the middle. Topped with a pistacio nut rim. It was amazing and so flavorful. I could have drank 10 more. I hadn't walked Florence since I mostly did day trips so I had just one. I will remember it forever, dream about it and added to my blessed and grateful list! This is a must visit place in Florence. The decor inside is pretty and they have pastries and sandwiches too Ciao Bella!
