Acquadolce - Firenze

We spotted this place while walking around. We love bubble tea, so we were curious to see if we could get a good drink in Florence. This place was EMPTY. We walked all the way into the back and found a seat. Our waitress was kind and prompt. We ordered two bubble milk teas. There was no choice of flavors, like back home. What we got was warm tea and milk with the tapicoa balls. It tasted like straight-forward black tea, a little bitter. It quenched our thirst, but was not anything special. We're used to having the option of different teas or flavors. This just wasn't good. In fact, the tea tasted like it was probably over brewed/steeped. Oh well.

I asked for Taro milk tea with tapioca pearls and all they gave me was milk with bubbles and proceeded to give me attitude when I asked why it was the wrong drink. Flo bubble tea at the Duomo of Florence is a million times better by quality and service. Do not recommend coming here. I also had to go to the end of the restaurant to find a worker to make the order. Super unorganised and dirty.

Very authentic asian dessert shop, we visited two days in a row. They had all kinds of drinks, not just your regular bubble tea. But don’t come here just for drinks though, try their desserts (especially the taro one, it was sooo good). They also have cakes and shaved ice. Made me feel like I was in Asia, complete with fast and efficient service. Also liked the decor very much.

We stumbled across this place and I was already wanting to go after scanning the menu. Some home comforts. —— Cuisine: Oriental Venue: AcquaDolce Location: via Faenza 12R, Florence, Italy Price: Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Review: When looking at the menu while walking past what already got me was the fact that they had grass jelly and rice dumplings. These kind of desserts are one of my fave things to have. I really enjoyed eating this as you were able to add extra toppings. The extra toppings they placed on separate bowls so we could add it how we wished. The base for this was red bean and actually very nice. It had an earthy feel to it and it was also not sweet. There was no syrup used in this. The taro and sweet potato mochi was super soft and chewy. Really addictive and there was plenty of it between two people sharing. Good portion size and I would definitely go back to try other things from this place. For the price it was also very reasonably. This dessert with extra toppings and a bubble tea came to €10. Worth stopping by if your having a craving for this or missing homely comforts. ——

Came here after dinner and we had a sago dessert. Tasted nice and the service was quick : definitely recommend if you happen to crave some asian desserts whilst in Florence
