A Gelato Break
Florentines take their gelato seriously and there's healthy rivalry among the operators of local gelaterie
artigi-
anale
(shops selling handmade gelato), who strive to create the city's creamiest, most flavourful and freshest ice
cream using seasonal flavours. In Santa Croce,
Vivoli
(Via dell'Isola delle Stinche 7; tub €2-10; 7.30am-
midnight Tue-Sat, 9am-midnight Sun summer, to 9pm winter) is the gelateria with the greatest number of de-
votees - try the pear and caramel flavour, or the chocolate with orange, and you'll find out why. Pay at the cash
desk then trade your receipt for the good stuff. No cones, only tubs.
