Gelateria De' Coltelli

Absolutely worth a stop! The gelato at Gelateria De’ Coltelli is genuinely excellent – creamy texture, rich flavour. There’s a great selection of both classic and unique flavors, and when we went, there was no line at all. Service was quick, and the prices were very reasonable compared to other artisanal gelato spots in Italy. The place itself has a bit of history – it’s known as one of the first gelaterias in Italy to focus on organic, natural ingredients and traditional methods. Founded in the early 2000s, it helped kick off the “slow gelato” movement, and you can taste the difference. If you’re walking along the Arno in Pisa, don’t miss this gem. Simple, honest, and delicious.

The pistachio ice cream? Absolute perfection—creamy, rich, and full of real nutty flavor that makes you question every pistachio gelato you’ve had before. The maron (chestnut) flavor, on the other hand, felt like it got lost somewhere between concept and cone—underwhelming and kind of forgettable. Prices are definitely on the higher side, but honestly, I’d still come back for that pistachio alone. It’s that good. Just maybe skip the chestnut detour

Great little place to find a unique selection of gelatos. They have some of the regular flavors you would expect, but they also push the boundaries with some really cool offerings. Give them a try!

Really great ice cream. I know there’s a hype- but this gelato keeping up with the expectations. Especially liked the peanuts flavor.

Probably the best icecream in Tuscany. Actually scratch that, probably the best icecream I've ever had (and I eat a lot of icecream). Words won't do it justice, go there and have a try, all flavours are just so good!

Really tasty gelato with huge portions. I took two scoops with whipped cream and It looks like at least 3 or 4 scoops. Nocciola taste had whole hazelnuts inside and was a little bit salty. Gianduja taste was also really good. I reccomend!

The pistachio ice cream was amazing, with even large pieces of pistachio! The service was nice and they even let us pick 2 flavors for 1 scoop!

Very interesting shop of ice cream. They have some unusual flavors that I never tasted before but they turn to be good. Some of them was hazelnut with pieces of candied ginger and dark chocolate and both were amazing. We had 2 cups at 4 euros each and you can choose up to 3 flavors per cup. The location of the shop is in front of the river and the girls working there were very nice with the smile.

t's a cute little gelato shop, right by the riverfront. Very limited seating capacity inside, no seats outside, although the street itself is pretty busy and noisy I don't think anyone would seat outside anyway. Service was excellent, ice cream was good, not the best we had, but the combinations were really interesting. Ask for flavors of the day

Mixed vegan and non vegan ice cream/ sorbet shop. Food**** We got the vegan peanut sorbet and chocolate mint. Both were absolutely delicious and tasted like ice cream even though they were called sorbet. Atmosphere*** Cute shop, limited to no seating. Service**** Very quick service, the cashier spoke perfect English and helped us to make a choice of what she would recommend since we are vegan and we loved it! Price €

Amazing gelato and granita place! We had gelato (lime and ginger, mandorla which is almond with candied lemon peels, yogurt di pecora which is sheep milk yogurt with sour cherries, peach, sheep milk ricotta with pine nuts and honey) and lemon and peach granite... all was soooo delicious! We'll be back!

Along the waterfront, this lovely place was worth the short walk off the main walk from the train station to the Field of Miracles! The proprietor is lovely and the flavors highly creative and all delicious! Take the short walk along the waterfront (you may feel like you've gone too far; you haven't) and enjoy your delicious gelato while peering at the beautiful buildings across the water!

Ok gelato. Tried the yogurt gelato with cherries and raspberry sorbet. Have had better gelato in Rome. Nothing special after reading the yelp reviews this is a bit overrated

Best gelato you can find. Organic ingredients. Ask for the recommendations. I tried the -A Serena and it was quite refreshing. Light treat boasting with flavors of ricotta, pine nuts, and honey. Perfect combination of flavors. #notlosangeles. Pisa seems to be a college town with the tower and gelato going for itself.

The pistachio & cashew ice creams were both delicious. They ran out of one flavor so asked me to select a second flavor to complete my order. Ready to go back & try something else from this place.

One of the best gelato place in Pisa. Have been here a bunch of times. Their flavors change based on the seasonal availability. They have gelato in different cone and cup sizes and cookie sandwich. A bit expensive compared to other places and worth the price

When I'm travelling, I tend to get caught up in things and never remember to write down or record the names of places we stopped to eat or drink. For example, the best meal I've had in Paris, I tell people, was at "at a café near Sacre Couer but kind of down these side stairs and there are two other cafes on the corner but the one that was amazing had kind of an open front and tables outside and chalkboard menus." As you can see, I suck at this. So when we sought out delicious gelato multiple times during a recent trip to Italy, I took notice of this place's name because it was the best gelato I've ever tasted. There was a lemon-mint flavor that was mind-blowing. The regular lemon was delicious, as were the other flavors we tried during our visit. If you are in Pisa, this place is a no-brainer. We didn't encounter any other tourists inside (although I'm sure they stop through), but there were many locals stopping in for something to cool off. It's located right by the river, so you can grab a cup and wander around looking at beautiful sites. I doubt you could make that gelato through the whole walk to the tower, but you could give it a shot because it's not too far away. Anyways, this place deserves to be on here. It's really amazing.

The best gelataria we have ever been to! Delicious flavors and qualities. The "slush ice" is amazing. Great service, location and price. Lots of locals are lined up here. Safe place to hang out by the river at night or any time!

Wow, wow, WOW! A lot of reviews are saying it's the best gelato in Pisa. Wrong. It's the best gelato in Pisa, Rome, Florence and Venice COMBINED. I ate gelato every day at a different place the entire time I was on vacation. Giolitti's in Rome comes close, but De' Coltelli is the clear winner. I really liked how proud they were to offer natural ingredients -- on the wall behind the servers is information highlighting this. The cost was reasonable and the gelato knocked my socks off. It's everything you want in good gelato. The flavors are unique and bold.

Alan and I were in Pisa for the day, just had lunch and fancied an ice cream. Went onto yelp to find an ice cream shop nearby and up came Gelateria De Coltelli. What a great find. The ice cream was fantastic, recommend the Chocolate really intense. Don't be put off by the fact the ice cream is not on display, it's in lidded churns. The staff are very helpful and it's reasonably priced.
