When in Italy, it’s truly difficult to avoid them… they look & taste amazing… yes, the ice-creams… As I normally don’t eat sweets (I know, shocking!!!), if I wanted to be naughty, I wanted to do it properly and experience the best of Italian ice-cream. Below are my absolute favourites.

Gelateria De’ Coltelli, Pisa

Situated very conveniently alongside the river bank. Natural & delicious. I think they change their ice-cream flavours regularly, as every time I visited them, I was tempted by new flavours (BTW all tasted amazing!).

Grom, Florence

Situated very centrally, just steps from the cathedral Duomo. The ice-cream is so creamy: our daughter had a sorbet which was really smooth & tasty. Buy your ice-cream, sit on the pavement opposite the cathedral and just enjoy the taste, that’s dreamy!

Obviously, there are many more places to taste the absolute deliciousness of Italian ice-cream, if you have some tips, please let me know in the comments below.
