Best Gelato in Florence (4)
September 7, 2009
Yesterday evening I had a fantastic ice-cream by “Il Re Gelato“.
The shop is located close to Piazza Indipendenza and the Fortezza da Basso, 5 minutes walk from our 2 B&B Relais Grand Tour and MR My Resort.
It is not on your way to the Duomo or the David, but it worth a visit, and you can spend some time in the green small park of the Fortezza da Basso, or under the trees of Piazza Indipendenza. And, after all, it’s just a few steps from your location and it’s a place Florentine adore.
My flavours were: ricotta e gelsomino (ricotta cheese and jasmin), pere e noci (pears and nuts) e cioccolato con peperoncino, rhum e cannella (dark chocholate with pepper, rhum and cinnamom).
I loved the ricotta cheese & jasmin, so unusual, so fresh, it seems you can eat a delicate sweet parfume.
What to say about our classic pears & nuts? Perfect and simple.
Dark pepper chocholate with rhum and cinnamom will impress you: it’s a REAL pepper, a real rhum, and a real cinnamom. Luxury, sensual, strong.
Don’t you see the photo?
That’s why we finished all the 500 gr. my husband brought at home!!!
