      Rated best gelato of 2024! Lots of amazing options in Italy and this one had cool flavors. Blueberry ricotta and vanilla was what we got. Line was long but went by quickly because the staff was efficient. Located right in the heart of historic town.

      Very good gelato!

      This is a very popular spot. The line was pretty long but it was worth waiting for. It was a little chaotic on the inside because we weren't sure who was next or who was currently being served. You kind of just have to jump in and tell them your order.

      They have some very tasty and unique flavor options. I went to several Gelaterias during my stay in Italy and this place was the most unique and best tasting gelato that I had.

      My friend and I were on a private Tuscany day trip and our driver took us to see San Gimignano. Our driver told us to stop by this gelato shop. I'm so glad he did because to date, this is by far the best gelato I've ever had in my life. It was so good, we went for seconds haha. You cannot go wrong with any flavors - some are so unique and I haven't seen anything like it anywhere else. There are lines even when its cold outside, but the staff is very efficient and lines move quick!

      Kind of touristy but good gelato with a large selection. The service was prompt and friendly. My husband really enjoyed the saffron flavor.

      Hands down the best gelato I've ever had in my life. World champion is for real. I've always loved ice cream or gelato with alcohol in it. This place sure how to make them!
      I tried their Malaga flavor, which is a fortified sweet wine. All I can say is, holy amazing!! Can you say delicioso?!
      If you are visiting the charming town of San Gimignano, please come try this place. You are missing out if you don't! Seriously!

      The line moved really fast and there is a very good reason why they won the Gelato world championship. It really was the best gelato we have eaten during our visit to Rome, Florence, and San Gimignano.

      We were part of a tour group in Tuscany and our guide brought us here and handed us vouchers good for a scoop. The lines were long but moved very fast. She told us they had won numerous awards, even though the gelateria down the street claimed they were better (nice local rivalry). We opted for more exotic flavors like pine nuts and pistachio and were not disappointed. Was it the best gelato we've ever had? Hard to say, but glad we stopped by.

      All I can say is amazing. To meet the owner who mingles with those in line and shakes hands. The lines move very fast with about 5 workers behind the counter. I went caramel and it was amazing. Don't be fooled by the place across the street that advertises as being # 1 anyone can claim that.

      There was a line when we went but it went by pretty fast. Lots of options and unique flavors so it was great to try different flavors. Highly recommend!

      This had to be the best place to get gelato in Italy! It's a long walk to this place but so worth it. Our tour guide recommended this place saying even if there's a long line make sure to wait... it will go fast.
      We lucked out, no line so our group walked right it. Popular place, lots of awards and celebrity photos on the wall. Tried a few flavors before setting on coffee... yum yum yum.
      A few places to sit outside but most people walk and enjoy.
