My partner has Celiac and thoroughly enjoyed her gluten free cannoli with ricotta and pistachios. The service was wonderful and the space was cute.

Last night I went to Cantina del gelato with some friends. Excellent ice cream shop with unusual, exotic and gluten-free flavors for every need. In addition to the quality of the ice cream I must emphasize the hospitality of the employees. My friends already knew the place and had told me about the old-fashioned closed containers like wells that were definitely more HYGIENIC than the open ones and yesterday I went back to being a child for a moment (in the 80s many ice cream makers had well-shaped containers). Friends indicated how delicious the affogato coffee made with cream from my city was, next time I won't miss it. The 5 stars deserved. Something artisanal in Florence has remained. Thank you

Informed ice cream shop and very good management for the GLUTEN FREE category. Gluten Free cones present. Well-kept place and friendly staff!

Everything here is gluten free and you wouldn’t know it!! So great for our celiac daughter, but the best gelato our entire family had! Celiac or not!

Very busy! The people have found the best places again…. All vegan and gluten free. Employees all working very hard and despite the long wait, everyone was happy and enjoying themselves. We ordered the ocean bowl and it was better than we are used to in Los Angeles. But smaller than LA portions

Very creamy, delicious ice cream! Extra points for the gluten-free cone option!:)

Silvia Perin

Excellent ice cream and sorbet selection, all of them gluten-free and delicious. They offer small ice-cream macarons and chocolates, gourmet cones and cups, and the option of gluten-free cones as well. Highly recommended!

Cristian Benvenuti

The ice cream is delicious with a lot of flavors, especially gluten-free ones.

Rose Thorns

Gluten free cones, plus a range of lactose free options available (not just sorbet!!). Staff were aware of cross contamination and scooped back to get uncontaminated ice cream.

We have been in Florence for a few days and this ice cream parlor was recommended to us. During our stay we have gone several times and without a doubt we would repeat. They also have gluten-free options and we have been able to eat them all. It has been very hot and it has not melted. We were able to enjoy how delicious it was. Instead, we went to another ice cream shop and it melted right away. So I highly recommend it. The quality-price ratio is spectacular, since a cone with a ball was €2.5.

Best Gelateria in Florence! I recently visited Carabè, a charming gelateria in Florence, and I can't stop raving about it! If you're a gelato lover or just looking to treat yourself to something extraordinary, this is the place to go. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality from the owner, who was not only kind but also clearly passionate about the art of making gelato and granita. The atmosphere was inviting, and the array of flavors on display was simply mesmerizing. I had the pleasure of trying the Limone More Menta, a lemon, blackberry, and mint granita that was nothing short of incredible. The balance of flavors was perfect—refreshing, tangy, and bursting with freshness. I also indulged in the Spirit of Sicily, a citrus-flavored delight that captured the essence of the Mediterranean with every bite. My friend sampled several gelato flavors, each one better than the last. The texture was creamy, and the flavors were vibrant and authentic, making it hard to choose a favorite. Definitely try the Ricotta and Pistachio! Carabè is more than just a gelateria—it's an experience. The quality of the ingredients and the care that goes into every scoop is evident, making it stand out as one of the best in Florence. Whether you're a local or a tourist, don't miss out on this hidden gem. Also, if you are gluten-free, vegan, or have other dietary restrictions, there are many options for you here! I'll definitely be back, and I can't recommend it highly enough!

Quality artisanal ice cream, fresh and with natural products. Very good waffle! Variety of flavors, one better than the other. Much attention is paid to gluten-free products, therefore recommended for those who have this problem. Very nice location, clean and welcoming environment. The friendly, helpful and prepared staff. Valeria, who served me, was very welcoming, kind and available to all my requests. What can I say, to try and try again. I count this ice cream shop among the best in Florence.

One of the best Affogato i’ve tried! It’s only €4 for the cup. They also have gluten free ice cream cones😍

Although we waited in line for a long time (about 30 minutes from the beginning of the line until we got the dish) but in my opinion it's totally worth it! The coffee with pistachio ice cream is really delicious! The ice cream is gluten free

Sophie Rosenman

Absolutely amazing... we did almost a "gelato tour" around Italy and this was by far the best. Gluten free friendly (they have wrapped cones) and vegan friendly. What I love about this place being lactose intolerant is they didn't just have sorbet that was dairy free. I had pistachio, hazelnut, dark chocolate (all dairy free and delicious). My family members tried strawberry, banana, mixed berry, and more. We came here twice it was so good. So creamy, fresh, and delicious. Best in Italy in our opinion.

During our stay in Firenze, we went here for ice cream several times. Anyone who eats ice cream here will always come back here, because it's not just the selection but the absolutely TOP quality that impresses here. The ice cream has a very intense and truly natural taste, so it feels like a flavor explosion in your mouth. The selection of gluten and lactose free ice cream flavors including waffles is also great. It may not be to everyone's taste, but the mint ice cream with chocolate pieces and the licorice ice cream are simply mega. I will miss this ice cream coffee very much. I can only recommend this ice cream parlor with a very, very clear conscience; anything else would be an understatement. If there were 10 stars, I would give them.

They have been customers of the chocolate shop since the first shop opened. Both during the holidays (Christmas, Easter) and not (Valentine's Day) I have always purchased their products, I must say that they are truly excellent. Today, for example, I went to have a snack and I chose to buy the ice cream cone🍦. Delicious! I recommend the classic flavours, such as: hazelnut, pistachio, cream, chocolate. The coffee is also very good and they have a wide choice of blends☕. The prices are slightly high, but the quality is worth paying for. They have a waffle cone available for those with celiac disease. I recommend it as a chocolate and ice cream shop!

It's a nice ice cream parlor and recommended for people without gluten intolerance. They have gluten free ice cream cones - however these cost €6 (I had one scoop + gluten free cone). In comparison, it costs around €3-4 with a “normal” bag. Therefore only 3 stars. Otherwise the ice cream was very tasty, but the price was not appropriate
