Gelateria La Carraia

Ice cream shop · Santo Spirito

"Owned by a husband and wife, Gelateria La Carraia—named for its neighbor Ponte Alla Carraia, the city's second-oldest bridge—opened in 1990 and now has two locations in Florence. There's often a line leading into the simple, bright shop; locals and tourists alike love this place for its flavors, which range from classics like stracciatella and chocolate to more inventive varieties like After Eight mint and ricotta and pear. There are also three house specialties: white chocolate with pistachio sauce; cream with orange sauce and dark chocolate; and cream with waffle and chocolate." - Bridget Arsenault

Il menù offre una scelta tra i vari antipasti toscani, primi piatti come la pappa al pomodoro e la ribollita, la porchetta al forno e naturalmente la bistecca alla fiorentina. In cantina i migliori rossi toscani."
