What people say
Judy Francini
"I used to live around the corner from Vivoli's it is part of any Florentine's list of places to go and get gelato.
Still Family run, I have a couple of personal favorites here. Their Chocolate with orange is incredible and another interesting flavor, although strange to eat, is Riso, rice... Rice pudding is a classic Tuscan dessert. As a gelato, you get little frozen bits of rice as well.
They have caffe' as well inside the shop. Try the
"Gran crema al caffè" which is a "affogato" gelato with an espresso.
Look for the "wine door", buchetta di vino. They were the openings to sell wine from shops. Vivoli's has one of the only ones you can see from the inside as well.
Vivoli serves cups not cones!
They also have their own pastry production as well as cocktails!

"No better way to finish off the tour (or any day in Florence) than with a gelato!
They also have coffee and pastries so it's a perfect spot to grab breakfast.
The wine window outside is only operational part time (depending on how busy business is).
Either way you can enjoy your delicious and genuine gelato and get your picture of it in the window too!
open Tuesday to Saturday 8 am to 9pm
Sunday 9 am to 8 pm
closed Monday "

"Probably one of the most famous gelaterie in Florence, this place boasts Italian pride. It is the oldest gelato shop in Florence and has a cool, old-world feel inside. Written up in many guidebooks as the best, I don’t consider it to be the “best” per se. Still, it’s a neat stop on your gelato pilgrimage. You won’t see any cones here, only cups…the cone “distracts from the flavor of the gelato”."
