Gelateria La Carraia in Florence

I am ruined for life. Best Gelato I had in all of Florence and in Venice. So many flavors. I am very sad we discovered this place on the last day. So many other delicious flavors I still needed to try!!

Tried this place based on the number of great reviews and consistently seeing a line from our hotel window. I got the Dark Chocolate, and my wife got the Chocolate Mousse. We were blown away. It was my favorite ice cream I’ve ever had, and my wife described it as “11 out of 10.”

Sooo creamy and rich in flavor. Best gelato in Florence.There is usually a line and Ill tel you is defenitely worth the wait.

Definitely worth a try. We came back again to try their gelatio. The cheesecake and chocolate hazelnut were the best for me. Also the price is affordable for what they offer. It was 2 scoops on one cone for 2€.

Only the 2nd Day in Florence and I have already tasted all of these flavors so far. 😅From all the 6 flavors I’ve tasted Hazelnut and Salted caramel are definitely flavors you should try! They are perfect on so many levels. The salted Carmel has this burnt taste that makes it PERFECT, and the Hazelnut contains hazel nut pieces and it tastes like a pure heavenly hazelnut spread. 🍦Portions are perfect, and prices as well!This Place has 6k Reviews for a reason totally worth it! 🍨

The best ice cream shop in Florence. Ice cream at home do not taste the same anymore. Waw. My favorite was pistacchio with white chocolate!!! Great prices and different sizes offered.

4 stars. Chocolate hazelnut was luscious light and creamy. The cream with orange seemed a little bit artificial for my liking. (Like not enough bright citrus flavor). At €2 for a piccolo of 2 flavors this is a GREAT DEAL!

Tastes great, a lot of flavour optionsBut melts really fast, workers are getting mad when you ask them for extra tissue 🤦🏼‍♀️

This was very good but Buonocore in Capri is still my no.1 with their homemade cones!This was a close 2nd. The queue went down fast but unfortunately didn’t take more photos because they had a short power cut when we started ordering!Luckily we could still get our gelato 🍨 we had cookies / biscotti flavour which was amazing, and Tiramisu.

Great gelato, worth the walk and the price! Also enjoyable with the few of the river and bridges

Amazing gelato here. At first I thought walking all the way here just cause its highly rated on google isnt worth it, but then I tasted this super rich creamy gelato and I had to go back again and again during my stay in Florence.

This gelato is one of the best culinary experiences I have ever had. The ricotta pear flavour is so wonderful that all other ice creams are ruined for me forever. This stuff is ambrosia on earth.

So good that we had to come back twice 😜 only 2 euros and you will get a really good gelato with 2 flavors ❤️

We were recommended this place by a trattoria nearby. The line was quite long but moved very very fast.This was the best gelato I have had to date and very affordable. Absolutely worth the short wait. I’ll be going back when I can.

What a great taste of ice, just simply delicious! Very friendly woman helping us and a great location near the water, this is a gelateria I’d return to

Absolutely amazing Gelato. Go for the 3 or 4 Euro Cup rather than a cone. You can get 2 flavours in either. Just off the beaten track but cheaper than the Gelato shops near to Ponte Veccio. The gelaro is out of this world.

The Gelato was good. Service was also good and very fast considering how long the line was. They have a lot of flavors biggest selection Ive seen in florence. Quite cheap also. Loved the white chocolate with pistachio and the after eight.

Delicious! One of the best gelato I’ve ever had! Try the pistachio and stracciatella (picture below)!

It’s the best gelato in Florence - and I did try it all.Creamy, right amount of sweetness, prices are very reasonable for the big scoops of ice cream you get

Our tour driver recommended this place to get some gelato saying it’s one of the best… he was not wrong. We’ve been getting gelato every day during our trip in Italy as well as eaten our fair share around the world and at home… but this was hands down the best gelato I’ve ever had. It was so affordable too!

What a great place! We found this place on a food and wine tour through Florence. Our guide was a local here and it was so good we went back!! The dark chocolate gelato was outstanding.

Gelato is creamy and absolutely unique! Fantastic taste!

La Carraia was recommended by our tour driver as the best gelato in Florence. I think I might have to agree. Located by the Arno, their corner store typically has a line but it moves quickly. And, since Im in Italy, I have to get the Pistachio! It was creamy, not cloyingly sweet, and was sublime. I also had a scoop of the kefir and passionfruit. It was equally good. I only wish I had more time and the stomach fortitude to try all the flavors.

We passed by this place many times and we’ve always seen a line outside. We finally went there to see this gelato place is about. I had a white chocolate with pistachio and was great. My husband had two kinds of flavor- double chocolate and mint. Total was €4! You really can’t beat the price and they give you two scoops for each small cone. Great location. You can have your ice cream by the canal and enjoy the beautiful Florence!

Very good taste, the best Gelato we had ever had. The receptionist at our hotel recommended the Gelato to us, so we walked 20 minutes to there, but it was worth the time. Melon, passion fruit were our favourite.The staff was not too friendly, thats the only cons.

The chocolate mousse was tasty. But I did not like the passionfruit flavor. We have tasted better pistachio at many other Gelato places, but this one was still okay.They only let you try 1 flavor, which they should tell you before you order. The texture of the Gelato is a little more runny than what Im used to.

For me this is the besr gelato in the Florence.Prices are perfect! Portions a large.All should try it

Cheapest gelato I came across, but also the best! Great view of the river while you eat outside

Busy location just over the Ponte Carraia in Oltrarno with one of top 3 chocolate ice creams in Firenze ("seconda me", in my opinion). However, note that there is a lot of fine ice cream in Firenze. Even the tourist locations have better than average product. Therefore, when it comes to selecting a "best", the selection will vary with flavour. Find your favourite flavour and start your research!

Very good ice cream. Yet Ive had better ones in Italy, so its not excellent, but worth trying nontheless. I tried forest fruit and baccio and it was ok.

Nothing special, I regret I got 2 scoops because it was hard to finish it. Definitely not something I would expect from all of those recommendations saying about best gelato in Florence. Only the price was a good thing

The best ice-cream in Toscany! Il gelato de pistachio is amazing! Taste it!

Best gelato in Florence!!! There are tons of flavours to choose from and the staff are so nice. I can’t even begin to describe how amazing the taste is, this place is quite honestly the best I’ve had on my trip to both rome and Florence. Don’t miss it!

This is THE BEST gelato in the entire WORLD!!! I cant speak enough about this location. Very clean, very friendly staff, reasonable price for gelato and great quality ingredients. Since 2015 weve coming back to this gelateria and I will recommend to everyone visiting Firenze. I visited many gelaterias in Italy but nothing compares with La Carraia. Please keep up the great work, we LOVE your gelato. Thank you very much :)

Best ice cream in the whole world.. salted peanuts, pistachios..coffee flavors are our faves., always craving for this..plus you can enjoy it while having the best views in town..

I tried two flavours, both were yum 🤤. Enjoyed with a view

Coming from America, hands down the best ice cream I’ve ever had. I mixed three flavors(Synfonia, an orange chocolate mix that was amazing…dark chocolate…and mint chocolate). You’d think that they would clash but it was great. €3 for a waffle cone with 3 scoops, €2 for a cone with 2 scoops, so very reasonable price. Had to wait in a 20 minute line, but so worth the wait. Will be coming again.

The shop is crowded but the service is fast, The ice cream is delicious, The flavor I tried is caramel, vanilla, and hazelnut. Highly recommend it

Amazing gelato with a lot of flavor choices! We came back three nights in a row. You can pick two flavors for 2.5 euros. I recommend dark chocolate and mixed berries, good combination.

3.50 for a double scoop on fun cones. The chocolate mousse flavor was incredible. Preferred the Nutella flavor over the After Eight. Very delicious and a great view on the bridge.

Very tasty. This Gelateria is across the bridge. I was allowed to sample flavors. Highly recommend

There is no better Galeteria in Florence then this one! Every flavor is perfect and a lot of choice. This is a must visit in Florence!

Really loved the gelato! One of the best! You can choose two flavour for 2.5 euros. I tried the pistachio and chocolate flavour, both tastes super good, with a good texture too! The portion is pretty big too!

Really good ice cream in Florence. Actually one of the best you can find! Highly recommended!

So amazing! Totally recommend. There weee so many flavours to choose from and they tasted really good. Also it was very aesthetics so glad that I went. Also the service was very very quick.

The gelato here is goooood. Its worth it to buy it, step right outside by the river, and eat. Then go buy another! The prices are reasonable and there isnt a wait. The staff is friendly and the flavor options are plentiful. The only inconvenience is theyre a bit off the main crossings of Florence, but theyre worth a trek to reach!

Just add this spot to the top 5 things to do in Italy.There is a one euro sampling cone.Whenever I have ice cream / Gelato in future a part of me will miss this place.MUST TRY!!!!!!!!!!!

Probably the best ice cream Ive ever had! + super friendly staff :)

I liked so much the ice cream and the place. I think this is one of the best ice creams I have tasted. The location and place are very good, and the staff are helpful and friendly.

We went to this place 6 times! I bet they were sick of seeing us but honestly the best ice cream ive ever had. Flavours you dont usually get with a range of different prices for the pots and cones. The white chocolate and pistachio was AMAZING!
