"We need to talk about La Carraia, the most exquisite gelato known to mankind. We need to talk about the silk texture, the creaminess of the whipped cream and the litany of exotic flavors. Then we need to talk about how a 20-minute line wait is worth the first taste of this magnificent dessert."

"Where to Find the Best Gelato in Florence: La Carraia - La Carraia is my favorite gelateria in Florence. Get both the chocolate and strawberry cheesecake flavors for a decedent treat! Seriously this combination is the best gelato in Florence!"

Brooke Saward

"Although it might seem a little far in the distance when consulting a map, La Carraia, located on the Oltranro side of the river is extremely worth the walk. The best idea is to pick three flavours and learn what you like, followed by a later visit for your favourite flavour(s) or just try a few more! You really can’t go wrong – this is perhaps the best gelato in the world."

Ashley Castle Pittman

"Hands down, the best gelato in the world. I have tried a lot of gelato—nothing compares with La Carraia. I had never tasted better. It was rich but not too heavy, creamy but still light and fluffy, and the flavors were exquisite. You must go here. In fact, I'd venture to say that a visit here is worth a trip to Italy."

Krisanne Fordham

"The Best Gelato in Italy: La Carraia - It's almost supernaturally creamy and the flavors are intense. Portions are generous, and prices are low."
