Give us an introduction to this place.
A large space with crisp whites and creams and a wall of exposed brick, La Strega Nocciola has a fun, shabby-chic vibe and a laissez-faire style.

Sounds lovely. Who else is here sampling the flavors?
Locals and—thanks to a high TripAdvisor rating—tourists.

Got it. Can we get some caffeine with our treat?
There's no coffee—it's all about the gelato.

Alright, alright. Main event: the food. Give us the lowdown—especially what not to miss.
Lavender and hazelnut are two of the signature flavors. If you're looking for something more unusual, try the Azteca—white chocolate and cinnamon—the rosemary, or the blood orange.

Yummy—will do. How'd you find the service?
Incredibly friendly.

Perfect. Any last thoughts?
Just across from the Ponte Vecchio, this shop is incredibly centrally located; it's also open until 10:30 p.m., making it a great pit-stop at nearly all hours.
