- Skip if
- You want thirty flavours. There are few, on purpose.
What everybody agrees on
Read across public reviews on Google and TripAdvisor in September 2026.
- Most
The square is half the appeal. Piazza della Passera is small, quiet and a minute from streets that are neither.
- Most
The list is short and changes, which is the sign people look for.
- Often
Texture and flavour intensity come up more often than novelty. Nothing here is bright or piled up.
- Some
The shop itself is tiny, so people eat standing in the square.
What to order
Whatever is on the board that day rather than a flavour you already know. The short list is the whole method.
Before you go
- Getting there
- Five minutes southwest of Ponte Vecchio, on Piazza della Passera.
- Best time
- Late afternoon, when the square is in shade.
A short list is almost always the good sign: it means the flavours are made rather than bought in. Small enough that two people at the counter is a queue. Take it outside and sit on the square, which is the point of coming here rather than to a bigger name five minutes away.
