We arrived by a recommendation of a local and weren’t disappointed at all. The woman who attended us was very charming and welcoming. The ice cream was delicious and most importantly, they served big portions. Definitely a must go.

I am an ice cream foodie and I've tried a lot of places in Bologna and Florence. I would rate this place best in Florence. The staff was really really nice, I got orange chocolate (best I've had around and I really like this flavor), pistachio and crema. Only negative thing is that they don't have any seating around not even a small bench. You can only stand in front of the shop or sit on the opposite tramway station.

It's almost impossible to go to any other gelateria, I have made it a ritual to eat gelato here and they have so many options to choose from and varying price ranges to meet your gelato needs

A M A Z I N G!!!!! The crème da Medici was fantastic! But the real treat was in the case, we had the Mango Gelato in an actual Mango. Absolutely incredible. I’ve traveled all over the world and have never had a better mango ice cream or gelato. And yes this is a Gelato inside a mango skin!!!

Best icecream I've ever hard. I can't recommend enough the Mora (blackberry) flavour and also the fruit shaped ice creams!

By far the best ice-cream we had in Florence. There is very large variety of ice-cream. The shop is located immediately next to a tram station, which means that it is easy to reach. The prices are reasonable, much cheaper compared to touristic spots. It is a place where locals are going for ice-cream

If you find yourself wandering the charming streets of Florence, Gelateria De 'Medici is a destination that should not be missed. Nestled on Via dello Statuto, this gelateria stands out not only for its prime location but for its exceptional quality and generous portions. From the moment you step inside, the welcoming and charming staff set the tone for an unforgettable experience.

The highlight here is, without a doubt, the incredible variety and unique presentation of flavors. Customers rave about the rich, authentic taste of classics like pistachio and crema, but it’s the innovative creations that truly captivate. Imagine savoring mango gelato served inside an actual mango – a culinary adventure that elevates the gelato experience to new heights. The fruit-shaped ice creams and distinctive flavors like Mora (blackberry) and orange chocolate speak of a creativity and craftsmanship rare in the crowded gelato scene.

What really resonates with me is how Gelateria De 'Medici manages to balance tradition with innovation. Their gelatos are deeply rooted in Italian artisanal techniques, yet the menu explores bold, unexpected combinations that excite the palate. The consistency is impeccable, the ingredients are evidently fresh, and every scoop feels like a celebration of real flavor.

While seating is limited to standing or nearby benches, the quality of the gelato more than compensates. It’s clear from the loyal local followers and enthusiastic tourists alike that Gelateria De 'Medici offers a ritualistic delight, making it almost impossible to visit Florence without stopping by. For anyone passionate about gelato or simply seeking an authentic taste of Italian craftsmanship, Gelateria De 'Medici is an essential stop that delivers on both taste and heart.
