The festival is at Piazza della Santissima Annunziata. This is a few blocks away from the Accedemia. The Archeological Museum is right there .... just in case you need to pretend you headed that way for enlightenment rather than gelato. :)

Hi for sure it will be a nice and good experience but if someone will be in Florence apart from those dates I suggest to taste "Vivoli" gelato near Santa Croce Church. According to me the best gelato ever taken in my life. Enjoy it!!!!:)

It's been several months since we had a "best gelato" fight here.:)

 

Vivoli is excellent, but if you are near Santa Croce and want chocolate gelato, Vestri is better (it's a chocolate shop).

 

Both these places and some others, make their gelato daily from nothing but fresh ingredients.

 

I won't mention my favorite place as the lines are too long already. :)

Well, ok, but only you get to read this. :)

 

It really depends on flavor. I am partial to fruit flavors and for this it is Carrozza in Piazza del Pesce. Best Lemon I ever had (and that's my favorite).

Agreed thta some can taste better than others, on the day. But we've never had a bad gelato from any 'gelateria artigianale'.

True, Tom, very true.

For those wondering what "artigianale" means -- artisan is close. It implies handmade.

 

If you go to a gelateria which makes their own gelato daily, the worst you will end up with is excellent. Never the less, while some people are wine freaks, I'm a gelato (and beer) freak, so searching for the best gelato is always fun, if fattening.

My two lira ... La Boutique del Gelato north of S. Marco near Campo Santa Maria Formosa. Tiny, funky little shop .. looks like it was last decorated in the 1930s.
