"Modern and sparse interior design. Staff was helpful but not overly friendly. Gelato was good but not stellar. Prices a bit on the high side."

"Great gelato shop in the middle of Lucca - there are plenty around town but this really is a cut above. The breadth of flavours is a fantastic start, but the quality of each and every one is exceptional. Glad we held out and visited here."

"Today we tried their nocciola, pistacchio and cheesecake strawberry icecreams and all of them were great! The density and the taste of each ingredient were amazing! Worth to try them out!"

"We purposely looked for this gelateria as we remembered it from last year. The skill of the server was obvious and the care she put into our ice creams was clear. We had melted chocolate, inside the cone and some lovely different gelato flavours - topped off with a wafer dipped in chocolate and drizzled across the top of the gelato. The best we have been to this trip. Recommended."

"Fantastic gelato! I had the milk chocolate and the marscapone fig gelato. I definitely recommend trying the marscapone, it was one of the best that I've had. They will give you chocolate in the cone or on your gelato. The service was great and they offered tastes of the flavors without us even asking. Definitely recommend."

"Wonderful that you can have chocolate or pistacchio in your cone and wafer. Pistacchio was a little mild for my liking, but other flavours were great."

"My son was popping in and looking at prices everytime we passed a gelateria. This one had the best prices in the area, so we stopped in. The lady working the shop was very friendly and helpful. The prices and scoop sizes were good. The dark chocolate was the best ever! If I lived by this place, I would eat here everyday so it's probably a good thing I don't."
