Anyone in the area knows that there are plenty of ice cream stores around to choose from. This one does not stack up. We stopped at it as we were passing on the street, as they had a small freezer full of ice creams facing the street. Wish we had just walked to the next one! I paid €2.50 for a small cup. He told me I could only get one flavour. This is unusual given the standards in the area, but I still went with it. I asked for chocolate and got the tiniest scoop imaginable. It didn’t even fill the cup, which is quite an achievement given I picked the smallest size. The server himself was quite rude and blunt, even though I spoke to him in Italian. Ice cream wasn’t even that great anyway. Any other ice cream place on the same street or nearby would give you multiple flavours for the same price and would fill the cup until it overflowed. Keep walking past this one.

There were a nice mix of locals drinking an espresso at the bar or having breakfast and tourists eating.

Attended by his owner, Tony (such a sweet and kind host) and with the magical cousine experience by his sister, everything we tasted here felt like being at home but with the original Toscana flavour. I strongly recommend their lasagna, il petto di pollo, the carbonara, and even the pizza at night. Of course the cappuccino and the cornetti (filled with everything you could imagine, like chocolate, lemon, or even cappuccino cream) were awesome. Obviously, the best part of everything was Tony's warm soul. As an additional tip, it's located only two blocks from Santa Maria dei Fiore on a pretty quiet street. So, Grazie mille per tutto Café dei Pucci!!!
