A gelato with a view - Gelateria Santa Trinita, Florence

I recommend the Gelateria Santa Trinita in Florence for a gorgeous setting, great service and most of all for incredible servings of gelato. 

My visit was post dinner, stuffed with pizza and enjoying a warm Spring evening wander around a city I know well. I was planning to visit my favorite gelateria in the whole wide world (more on that in a future post) when I walked across my favourite bridge in the world into the warm inviting lights of the Gelateria Santa Trinita. 



Gazing dreamily at the beautiful gelato selection on offer, I was approached by the server who was incredibly helpful and let me try a few of the flavours (all places should offer this, walk off if they don't). 





Finally, I plumped for my absolute favourite combination - pistachio and coffee. I can report that it was absolutely gorgeous in the city and country of gelato, you'd hope so. And the pistachio wasn't green, which I like! You can see the generous portions below.

They also have a poppyseed gelato (sesame nero), which I need to return to try.





The price was also fine, Florence is not all that expensive a place (especially for ice cream), unless of course you like shopping on Via de' Tornabuoni. 

Find out more via the Gelateria Santa Trinita's website.
