Thresa Kussman

We are staying very close to this gelato place. It is a quick, easy place to order gelato and the flavors are lovely. The lines are not long. The dark chocolate is very rich, and the sea salt caramel is a favorite. This shop is on a street that becomes busy in the evening with people walking up to Piazzale Michaelangelo for sunset.

We are in a three week stay in Florence, and we had not yet found a coffee place that rocked it until today. We ventured a few paces from our favorite sandwich shop on Via Dei Neri and checked out Ditta Artigianale Neri. We ordered specialty drinks- a Salted Caramel Drink and a drink called Persian Love (see menu in photos) - with soft scrambled eggs as well as granola and fruit for breakfast. They could not have tasted better.

We paid 1€ for the table service and it was worth it because we met a super waiter named KEVIN who was not only adept at soft upselling (would you like bacon/fruit/etc with that?) but also checked in at the perfect times. The kitchen staff was in view from our table at the back of the restaurant, where they worked peacefully and steadily to make great food! And the young lady who delivered our drinks emanated the same positive energy.

We had a great breakfast here, and we will certainly return to try new coffee drinks!
