Very tasty gelato! I loved the rich flavors and they had a nice billboard with recommendations / detailed flavor descriptions. The staff were not super warm, but the service was quick and the gelato is priced very reasonably. There was a cute place to sit outside to stay dry despite the rain. I did not see any seating indoors.

Our favorite gelato from the paces we visited in Florence. They were kind and did a great job of piling gelato into the cups. Prices were reasonable for the amount you get and the taste is super creamy and flavorful! The sign of good gelato is melting as soon as you are served on a hot day... we quickly devoured our tasty treats. The line moves quickly and there really isn't room inside to eat so head outside and stare at the Arno River while stuffing your face with some tasty delights!! When it's super hot grab some of the fruit flavors- you won't regret it.

So my goal of a gelato a day while I am Italy is intact!!! Now this stuff was awesome!!! I decided to try 2 flavors and I don't think it matters what flavor u pick it would be great. Service was fast and they were friendly! Place was clean and after we went outside they closed for a few minutes to clean the floor!!

Named for the nearby bridge Gelateria La Carraia has been serving Florence since 1990, a second location doing little to attenuate queues for Gelato made the old way and served by pleasant staff for just €1 per spatula. Family owned with a small footprint, just seventeen flavors in metal canisters behind glass, guests make their selections amidst striped wallpaper before taking cones or cups outside to enjoy along the river. Popular for Semifreddo, though no less so for the Gelato itself, fans will find the base creamy but light and whether flecked with Coconut or harnessing Nuts each bite tastes pure thanks to a lack of preservatives or excess Sugar.

While it doesn't have the best vibe it has delicious gelato, my favorite as far a flavor goes in Florence. Highly recommend the orange and dark chocolate!

Delicious spot for gelato in Florence, eat gelato here and enjoy the views from the bridge for immaculate vibes. The pistachio (soooo creamy and the right amount of pistacioy flavor) and hazelnut (yum!!!!) were amazing. They also hooked it up with a generous amount of gelato on my cone. On a weekday night, there was a line but it moved really quickly.

We ordered Pistachio, Ricotta Peach and Mint. The Pistachio and mint were delicious! Unfortunately, we were given lemon instead of the Ricotta peach we ordered and it was SOUR. I typically like lemon, but it was very strong. There was a line and we waited maybe 7 minutes, so it wasn't too bad. There was also a place to sit out front with benches. The price was good and we would come back and just watch closely to make sure they give us what we order next time. Its nice that they are open late.

Great gelateria. The prices are so reasonable here. The smallest size is 2 euros. The next size up is 2.50 euros and the portion is huge! It's 2 scoops and you can pick 2 diff flavors. The gelato here is really good. I got coconut and hazelnut. There are bits of coconut flakes and chopped hazelnuts in the gelato.

Recommended by a server up the street, I came looking for pizzelle cookies. Enthusiastic service, and the frozen desserts were amazing! Coffee, buontalenti, mint/chocolate, and whatever else Wifey had were all great. Come for the buontalenti Gelato, though. You're welcome. That's all for now
