FLORENTINE GELATO

Okay, so this isn't really about Toronto, but who doesn't love ice cream? Florence has arguably the best gelato in the world. If you're planning a trip to Italy any time soon, stop by these three Florentine houses of ice-creamy worship.

GELATERIA VESTRI
Borgo degli Albizi, 11/R

*An artisanal chocolate shop that doubles as the best gelateria in Florence. Only 5 or so flavours on the menu, but 5 or so of the best flavours you've ever tasted in your life. Try chocolate-chili, pistaccio or white chocolate with fragolini.

FESTIVAL DEL GELATO
Via del Corso 75r
+39 055 239 4386
*So many flavours, so little time. Try the grapefruit sorbetto or the semifredo mousse di cafe

GELATERIA CARABÉ (2 locations)

2. Piazza S. Jacopino, 9
*You really haven't tried granita until you've tasted Sicilian granita here. Go for the coffee or chocolate flavours.
