I've tried my fair share of gelato in Italy and this place is by far the best. The service is excellent the amount of ice cream you get for the price is amazing! I'm pretty sure I had it every day while in Florence and will definitely be back in the future!

I tried tiramisu and it was the best tiramisu gelato I've tried in Italy! It was so soft and not icy at all. It worths the price!

Hubby, 2 kids & I headed over the bridge to get some gelato. It was sooooo good. Daughter got lemon, son got chocolate, I got piña colada & hubby got pear/ricotta & Nutella/yogurt. We all tried each others. YUMMY!

This place has delicious gelati, with decent portion, quantity, quality and price. For us, this was one of the top three gelateria in Florence.

You may find a gelato you like better somewhere else especially since they have a limited selection but you can't beat price/quality ratio. Have tried both locations (prefer the one at the bridge) and for 1.5 euro you get what you will probably pay 2.5 elsewhere.

... until every other gelato you have after you eat from this place tastes like it's just full of sugar and not flavor. Of course, I'm over-exaggerating, but the point must be made that there definitely seems to be something different about the gelato here. Perhaps it was from having walked all over Florence that day. Or the indecisive rain... More

If you're looking for amazing gelato close to the center this is the place to go to! It's my fifth time in Florence and after trying many places this is still the best ice cream in the center, cheap and you get a lot of gelato too! Enjoy!

Definitely one of the best gelatos in the whole of Florence. I know it requires a walk from the city center but it is totally worth it. I hadn't been there for a while and it was nice to realize that the choice is still very good and prices are honest. The only reason why I am not giving a... More

Delicious and not extensive. I advise all of you to taste this gelateria, you will not regret! I have been in a lot of gelateria and each of them has minimum one flaws. La Carraia is the best in Florence.

We were told by a local that this is where they eat, not at the multitude of shops with gelato piled high near the Ponte Vecchio. We had lemon, passionfruit, mint, dark choc but the winner was hazelnut, with chocolate/hazelnut a close second. Worth the walk and the short queue.
