I had gelato at Vivoli’s in 1979 on my first trip to Europe. Still had the T-shirt until just a few years ago. I remember vividly that I had strawberry and chocolate flavors. The absolute best gelato I’ve ever had. The strawberry tasted like the most flavorful strawberry imaginable exploded in my mouth. Out of this world — I still remember after 30+ years…

I spent three weeks in Italy and ate entirely too much gelato, and I thought Vivoli’s was actually not as good as the average street vendor, especially those in Venice. I think overall Vivoli makes great fruit flavors, but the more savory or cream-based gelatos fall flat.

I agree, the rice gelato is one of the most amazing things I have ever eaten. I paired it up with several different flavors, and it was incredible every time!

I had rice gelato (riso, kind of like rice pudding) in Manarola in the Cinque Terre many years ago…

OMG Vivoli was to die for. I only tried the chocolate/milk type varieties but damn if I could fly that stuff back to Australia I would! EVERYONE should go there, at least once, if not twice-a day!

Thanks for your comment, Glenn! I do think it’s worth a stop at Vivoli, but I don’t think it’s the best in the world. We’ll have to agree to disagree on that point, I think!

Vivoli is the best in Florence if not the world! You cannot leave Florence without tasting their gelato, period.
