Amazing! The first bite all the way to the last was heaven. The ratio of gelato to espresso was just the right amount. Got the original and pistachio affogato and both did not disappoint. Line was a little out the door around 9am, but it moved fast. You order then wait to give your receipt to the barista. There was seating inside and benches outside. Highly recommend. read more

Is it worth the hype and wait? Yes. I tried the pistachio gelato + espresso and the hazelnut + espresso. The pistachio was out of this world..we went multiple times. The line wait is not too long and it moves quickly. I want to say that both entrances offer the gelato+espresso while one entrance sells the gelato + espresso dish exclusively. The staff is friendly and helpful. read more

Walked 25 minutes to get to this place and I'm so glad I did. The line was long, but it moved pretty fast and it was definitely worth the wait. I had the pistachio affogato, and it was absolutely amazinn flavorful, and the espresso poured over the gelato made for the perfect treat. If you're in Florence and looking for a Affogato, this is the place. I will be back next time I'm in Florence read more

Over the summer we saw "Somebody Feed Phil" at Radio City Music Hall. The question was asked: Of all the places you've been, what was the best thing you ate? Answer: Vivoli. Of all the places I've been, Vivoli was the best because of the fresh ingredients and the method of how they make their gelato. Phil? I'm goin' to Firenze! It actually wasn't like that, we had our vacation planned far in advance. It was nice to know that now we can plan to make a stop at Vivoli. I heard this place has gone viral and they'll be long wait times. (There wasn't) Walking in, it wasn't what I expected. I'm from New York and we have beautiful gelato places, Amorino gelato would be a great example. The interior is decorated with marble tables, very European. In Vivoli Firenze, I wasn't impressed. I was able to walk in and go to the register to pay. Once we paid, I walked over to the gelato case. Now this is one shot deal. I may never come back to this area so my gelato flavor choices needs to be solid. The four of us ordered and what was given to us wasn't anything fancy. The dining area, also, nothing fancy. Just a few tables. No marble anything. But then I took a bite. The creamiest gelato was served to me. The chocolate hazelnut gelato was made with a dark, rich chocolate. Sooo creamy, sooo dreamy, this really is next level gelato. If you look at my picture, there's no huge mounds of gelato in the case. Vivoli is serving the freshest product to the public. I wanted to go to Venice but I think I now need to come back for the affogato... read more

Ok, I get it now--Vivoli lives up to the hype. The affogato here is incredible, and honestly, it was the chilled cup that sealed the deal for me. That little detail made all the difference. The ice cream was perfectly creamy and cold, while the coffee was rich and piping hot. Together, it was just the right balance--a classic combination executed flawlessly. My wife, on the other hand, wasn't too thrilled with the panna cotta. The chocolate was a bit too rich for her, but honestly, I think it had more to do with the timing. It's hard to fully enjoy rich chocolate at 8 PM when it's 40 degrees outside. The affogato, though? That hit just right. Definitely worth a visit. We visited late in the evening, about 30 minutes before closing. There was still a line, but thankfully, it wasn't out the door. I'm not sure how I'd feel about waiting more than 30 minutes, but if you can avoid the peak times, it's absolutely worth it. Vivoli's reputation as one of Florence's best gelaterias is well-earned. No wonder it's all over Tik-Tok and Instagram and other social media. But as much as I love a well made dessert, I'd recommend timing your visit wisely to avoid the crowd, but either way, you'll be rewarded with a truly memorable dessert. read more

I tried the affogato here one morning and enjoyed it. It was sweet if you like that type of coffee in the morning. Quick service in January and easy to order, but it was more expensive than any coffee I've gotten here yet! I came back another night for gelato as it was close to a place I tried dinner and the service was worse. We did come in 5 minutes before closing which I understand is a close call but we were only getting gelato for take away so all she had to do was scoop them and send us off but she was quite rude. She forced us along to order our "ice cream" (her words not mine even though we know what gelato is as tourists...) and was rushed and unhappy. We were out of there quickly and there were still 15 people seated at tables after we left. The gelato itself was delicious. Best chocolate gelato I've tried thus far! read more

Vivoli - Affogato - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Florence, FI

One of the best espressos I've had, and paired with the affogato made it absolutely divine to enjoy in the Florence heat. There's indoor seating for their customers looking to sit down for food, but not much outdoor seating for those who only order their affogato. The wait for their place is out of the door, but I'd personally say is worth it from how amazing the coffee and ice cream is. The ice cream is frozen into the cup and they add the espresso in after, which makes it a pretty cold drink if you mix it all up; for €6.5 the classic affogato is a bit steep but for the presentation and quality I would gladly pay it again! read more

From NYC straight to Vivoli is the smartest decision one can make. Queued up. Weather was ridiculously hot but the queue moved pretty quickly. Once you're inside it's go time. Order and pay first. You can order gelato, regular affogato 6€ or pistachio 9€. Pistachio and regular affogatos FTW. IG worthy. TikTok famous. MUST HAVE. read more

Stopped by in the morning and had to wait in line for about 30 min. We ordered the affogatos and they were a bit pricey but so worth it. The warm, slightly bitter coffee with the cold, sweet gelato is such a good combination. Saw this place on social media and it lived up to the hype. read more

Vivoli - Affogato - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Florence, FI

Delicious, delicious affogato, only to be braved by the most patient and willing. I stopped by around 2pm on a weekday hoping to avoid a wait, but boy was I WRONG. The line was 25+ ppl deep, wrapping like a Shepard's crook from the entrance into the side alley. I quickly abandoned the plan and diverted my route. I tried my luck later that evening around 6:30pm. It had just stopped raining, and voila we were welcomed by no line and plenty of seating. They were out of hazelnut, so we got one regular affogato (6€) and one pistacho affogato (8€). Order/pay @ the counter, hand the slip to the barista, and wait for your drink. Once you're done, bus your cup to the counter. In and out within 20 min. Would I have waited 1.5 hrs in line for this...probably because I'm stubborn and a sucker for social media spots oops. The wait is understandably what it is since most people order the affogato, and that can't be taken to go. All in all, it's a very delicious (pricey) espresso x ice cream duo. They also have a little wine window between the doors, easily transformed into an affogato window ;) read more

So I went here because TikTok said they have an amazing affogato, and they weren't wrong. I needed a sweet treat, and this is the place. Now when you order, you have to give your ticket to the people making the drinks or you will be skipped! The affogato was perfect - I loved how creamy and sweet the gelato was; it mixed perfectly with the bitterness of the espresso. read more

I was influenced to come here by a TikTok, but it was worth it! The affogato was SO DELICIOUS! We tried the vanilla and the pistachio. I liked the vanilla better but they were both amazing. There was a very long line due to the popularity, so be prepared to wait. Also, you order and pay on a kiosk and then hand your receipt to the employees to make the affogato. The employees were super nice and friendly even with the long line of people they had to serve. I had another affogato elsewhere in Florence that was good, but not as good as Vivoli, which reinforced that this place really is worth the wait! read more

We've been coming here since I found it in a guidebook in the pre social media days. It has gotten overrun with influencers and people hearing about it online. The gelato and affogato are delicious regardless of the hype. Expect a wait, but tip is to go to the regular line, not the affogato window. You can order affogato and gelato at register. Then take the ticket to the inside affogato/espresso counter. There is seating inside towards back read more

Vivoli - Affogato with pistachio - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Florence, FI

Vivoli Gelato is worth the buzz! We initially stopped by earlier in the day, but the line was wrapped around the block, so we decided to come back at night. Although the main gelato shop was closed by then, we were pointed to a small storefront next door where they were serving vanilla and pistachio affogatos. And honestly? It was incredible. The pistachio gelato was one of the best we've ever had super creamy, flavorful, and absolutely perfect with the espresso. Even with the limited menu, the quality and taste were amazing. Next time, we'll aim to come earlier for the full flavor lineup but what we had was so good, it still made the visit totally worthwhile. read more

Glad we made time for this! read more

Vivoli - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Florence, FI

Vivoli is definitely worth the hype! I'm usually wary of places that are super popular on tiktok, but the pistachio affogato is well worth waiting in line. They have a pretty good system where if you are ordering the infamous affogato, you wait in a separate line from the gelato orders. The line moves pretty quickly and I waited less than 10 mins. Once you place your order, you're handed a ticket and can stand to the side near the counter. You can see the staff rimming the cup with gelato, then brewing the espresso into the cup. When it's ready the staff yells out whether it's the pistachio or cream affogato and you hand over the ticket. The visual presentation is fantastic and there is an outside area where you can sit on the curb and enjoy your treat. The gelato mixes so well with the espresso and I really loved the pistachio pieces rimming the glass. Delicious! read more

Stopped in at around 9:30am on a Friday. A couple people in line but not busy at all. I wanted to try their infamous affogato. I got the pistachio affogato and it blew my mind. It is definitely worth the hype! The pistachio gelato is so so good and with that espresso it is perfect I can't wait for the next time I get to have one. The rest of my family opted for gelato and loved theirs as well. Definitely worth stopping in. It's fairly small inside, just a couple tables which we were able to get but otherwise there's a lot of hanging out outside to eat and drink. read more

The original affogato was delicious!!! This is a must try! The affogato is a vanilla gelato topped with espresso. We only had the regular version but we saw several other customers with the one topped with pistachios. It looked yummy as well.

Affogato at 11am, YES! A punchier, sweet, creamy, wake up call in Florence? I think not! This was the perfect boost for the 25k steps I did visiting all the sites in Florence and for my power climb up the Giotto Bell Tower. I've certainly have not had a more picturesque affogato ever in my life. Like most patrons, order at the counter, wait patiently for your order, and take your dream outside to enjoy. My advice, make a beeline line for Vivioli in the morning, the line is shorter and there's no bad time for this affogato. LOL! read more

I found out about Vivoli from Somebody Feed Phil so when I booked a trip to Florence, I definitely wanted to make this one of my stops. We tried some of their gelato. We stopped by on a Friday just before 2 and it wasn't too crowded. Shortly after we ordered, there was a line out the door. They had a lot of flavors to choose from, which usually isn't a good sign because it means they don't make it fresh in house. But at least they all seemed natural (i.e. no weird blue-colored flavors). I can't even remember which flavors I got but I just remember them being too sweet. But, this works for the affogato, which they are best known for, and you will see everyone ordering one. The creaminess/sweetness of the gelato perfectly balances out the richness/bitterness of the espresso. I could have easily drank two of these but I would have been wired. Overall, I would say to order the affogato, and skip the gelato by itself. Tip - there's a wine window right next door, which didn't seem open. Just something to keep in mind if that's something you wanted to do while in Florence, because they're not as common as I thought they would be. read more

This place is well known so of course we had to check it our for fear of missing out on something amazing (lol!) Walking up, there was a line down the street but it moved fast. My first pic of the long line was at 248PM and I had gelato in my hands by 305PM, so not too bad I think. The system is super easy and not confusing at all so don't worry about it. You wait in line to pay, choosing your size. There are no cones here, just cups. You pick a size, you pay for it, you get a receipt. If you order an affogato, you also get a receipt and you go right to the coffee bar. If you ordered gelato in a cup, you go left to the case filled with the different flavors, you give the person your receipt and pick your flavors. We did not order an affogato but our companions did and they paid first and they happened to walk out the moment we walked out with gelato so it doesn't take much longer. Super simple, not hard at all. There is minimal seating in the back, past the gelato case but we didn't actually see many people utilizing that area. Maybe one table was taken. However, outside was a mob of people taking photos and eating. This could have been because of the amazing weather too. As a pastry chef, I do get a bit snobby about ice cream, especially gelato because that's what we make at my workplace and it's my favorite kind of frozen treat after custard. I thought this gelato was bang on and had great flavors. It was served at the correct temperature, had great texture and I didn't see the tell tale too bright colors. I won't say it's the best I had in Florence but it was def top 3. read more

I walked by Vivoli and was curious.... little did I know this is THE viral Affogato place in Firenze. The line was long, but it moved. Also per the usual Italy cafe way -- you pay at the register. then try to flag down the barista/bartender with your receipt to make your beverage. so basically 2x the lines haha. Honestly, it was a really good affogato. The gelato was lovely. Plus the shape is pretty unique BUT is also functional IMHO. That way, the gelato doesn't melt as quickly. My only regret? Not also ordering the Pistachio affogato!! read more

The affogato here is incredible--the rich espresso blends perfectly with creamy gelato and caramel for a decadent treat. The shop has a classic, bustling Florentine vibe, full of energy and charm.

The wait is worth the social media hype. I came at opening at 8am, and there was still a 15-20 minute line. The service is friendly despite the influx of tourists. Prices were higher than expected - 6 euros for regular affogato and 9 euros for pistachio (which is just regular + layer of crushed pistachio on the gelato). The flavors and textures were delicious though, and I would come back if I find myself in Florence again read more

Another recommendation from a friend from firenze, so good! Honestly I thought I was just going to get a gelato but when I saw how long the line was I knew something was up.
