You only get to have one spoon as a taster so we bought 5 single cups so we could try more! They are all pretty special but the best were Rice and Amareno. Worth the trip out to find this place
A must-destination year round. Vivoli is the oldest gelateria in Florence, a real institution. Opened in 1929 it has been popular ever since. They do ice cream tastings and workshops. Get yours now! Read more
Even though gelaterias are everywhere in Florence, just one bite convinced us not to go anywhere else for gelato for the duration of our trip, even though it was a hike from our apartment .
close on Monday! You need to pay/ get ticket at the Telly then lineup for gelato . the rice gelato was overly sweet, the pistachio & Gianduia were both good. Their serving not as generous as others!
Best gelato in Florence and maybe anywhere. Such a charming place too. If they have Riso (rice ) get it! The best combo is Riso, Crema and one if their passion fruit flavored. Enjoy!!!
Stanley Marcus of Nieman Marcus says in his book that Vivolis's the best and he was right!She'll only use eggs for her ice cream that have been laid that morning!-Alex Reznik,Top Chef
Best Ice creams in he world!!! Don't go before tasting rice , pistacho, pear , hazelnut .... Delicious!!
The crema is fantastic. Make sure to pay at the cashier FIRST. Then go to the case and tell them what you want.
Based on 1930, the most popular gelateria in Italy and the most tasty as well ... Try this one and you'll never want another ice-cream
My fave is festina lente aka ginger & orange and the unmissable semifreddo di cafè . Delicious!
Loved the riso/rice flavour, chocolate and cherry and the pineapple and ginger sorbet ! Wow!
An absolute to-do when you're visiting Florence and you like ice cream . Also not that expensive to be "the best ice cream shop in the world".
The best Pistaccio ice cream you can ever taste... Fair price and excellent quality.
Best gelato in Florence . Period. It isn't about spectacle. It's about taste. Very fresh and authentic . The pistachio and wild strawberry are a MUST.
Whoever reckons this isn't as good as Grom is wrong. Best gelato ever. The citrus & ginger literally changed my life. Peach also sublime.
Wide selection flavours - absolutely delicious! Loved the strawberry and peach .
Amazing Gelato . The best cocco (coconut ) gelato I’ve had in Florence!
Get the tiramisu gelato , it's made of heavenly goodness!
Best ice cream in the city of delicious ice cream . Festina Lente is a must, also the plum sorbet .
I was skeptical, but this was totally worth the blister I got walking to find this place. Creamy, delicious, heaven in a cup!
One of the best! Simply.!..while At it, try the restaurant just next to it...also Great.
Marnengo + chocolate w/ hazelnut . Nuff said. Note you only get 1 sample so trust me in this one.
Great ice cream . The lemon with mint sorbet is out of this world.
possibly the best gelato in florence . keep it up. we like it.
Best ice cream I have ever tried! ???? chocolate and pear with caramel !
Unbelievably great gelato . Go out of your way to go here. Amaretto & fantasio especially good ????
Simply, the best Affogato on earth!
Cream flavor is awesome-but there is no milk chocolate (hence the plain chocolate didnt taste that good for me)
The pistachio and the Nutella are the best we’ve had! So good!
Flavours are very good, wide variety of choice, but ice cream in general is very sweet.
Tastes great!! One of the best in firenze; dont miss!
Truly the best gelato in all of town .
Best gelato in Florence ! Tiramisu is the best one❤️
One of the best gelatos i've ever had in my life! And I'm pretty obsessed, believe me ;-)
You are a step from S-Cape Travel. After your tasty ice cream come to us to check for a cycling tour in the beautiful tuscan countryside! www.s-cape.eu
Go here every single day you are in Florence. Except Monday - they are closed on Mondays.
Gelato is amazing! Makes up for the abysmal customer service.
The pistachio is godly! Apparently, over 40 Flavours of gelato are made fresh every morning
Try "crema " and "riso" flavours. Florentines consider Vivoli too expensive and touristy but these two flavors are the ones of my childhood and haven't changed ever since!
Very disappointing for "the oldest and best gelato in Italy". Tried 3 flavours none of which I liked.
Best ice-cream in Florence: try macadamia !
Riso/Rice, pear and caramel ; and lemon
Gelateria grom is simply better. Try nicciola and mela verde!
Good taste and decent portions. However, it is an OK gelato . A bit watery, with crystals and not the best texture. Nearby there are better choices.
Lives up to its reputation. Be sure to try the Pompelmo Rosa (pink grapefruit ).
Don’t look any further, best icecream flavors in Florence.
Phil Rosenthal favorite gelato !
The pear ice cream is superb! Delicate & heavenly... OMG!
Tasty, cold and sweet.
Riso is a must try flavor ????
The pear and white wine gelato were my favorite. The beat gelato hands down in Florence. All handmade, organic and no preservatives or dyes. Mind-blowingly amazing. - Amanda Buffington
Another very good pistacchio. All the chocolate-based flavors are good, and the ice cream tastes genuine. - Andrea Tivolesi
Get the soy based nocciola ice cream (hazelnut flavour). The taste is really amazing since more nutty and less sweet than others - vegan heaven. - Friederike Wild
Some space to relax and enjoy the architecture. Local leather goods can be had for good prices if one has a good eye and a little bit of luck. - Nicholas
It's Amazing ???? U can find a Lot Jewelry Shop On the Bridge ! The View of River is so nice ???????????? - Mohsen
My favourite place in Florence. It's not as astounding as the view in Piazza Duomo, but probably that's why I like it more. Just leave me there :D - Salvatore De Carmine
