Description: RivaReno Gelato is synonymous with a constant quest in the world for all natural ingredients for their freshness, purity, intense flavours and overall highest grade qualities. Our gelato contains no hydrogenated fat, preservatives, anti-oxidants and artificial colourings. One of the most important ingredients of gelato is milk. The quality of our milk and the way we process it contains the secret of the intensity and the extraordinary taste of RivaReno Gelato. RivaReno Gelato is made only with alpine milk and cream from the Stura Valley in Piedmont. The Stura Valley is situated on the border between the Cozie and Maretime Alps in the province of Cuneo of the Piedmont region. Each RivaReno store has a lab where every flavour is made by adhering to high standard production processes. Our gelato is made daily in small batches several times a day to ensure ultra-freshness. RivaReno Gelato is not displayed in the typical ice-cream counter where customers can see the products. Our gelato is contained in the traditional Italian cylindrical containers deep inside the counter so as not to be exposed to the air for better conservation. We do not use colorants or preservatives nor do we need to use air to “puff up” our gelato. RivaReno sources the world for the best raw materials. The intenseness of our gelato comes from generous dosage of those materials of the highest qualities. We also use cones that contain less sugar so that our customers actually taste the genuine flavours of our gelato rather than being “distracted” by the sweetness of the cones.

I have few favorite ice-cream places in Florence but RivaReno is absolutely the number one! The ice-cream is creamy the flavors are just gorgeous, all natural without colorants and additional aromas but intense and just delicious. I absolutely love Alice - mascarpone with gianduia chocolate... hmmm... but any one you try will be unique: stracciatella, chocolate, pistacchio or all fruit... More

I very rarely go out of my way to eat sweets but I went here once with a friends dad who loved the place and he's from here. Then I couldn't find for months and I couldn't remember the name! It was hell! But, On New Year's Eve my friend and I just happened to walk by Rivereno and I... More

After being in Roma for a week we had sampled many gelato. We might have only just got here but this Gelato is so much better than any of the stuff in Roma. Both the wife and kids agree this is the best so far. We only ever get a small size but even this was generous. Caffe and fragola... More

We went looking for this gelato restaurant after reading the review here in trip advisor. We have been back twice now it is such great gelato . We fully agree with the other positive reviewers. It is a little hard to find and has a simple modern shop front. There is a limited menu but enough to satisfy all tastes... More

We just got back from a trip to Italy and ate gelato all over. Rivareno Gelato was easily the best - so good that we kept going back each day we were in Florence even though it was a bit of a walk from our hotel. The folks are really friendly and it's actually cheaper than a lot of other... More

I've eaten gelato in a hundred places in Tuscany. This one wins my coveted "best flipping gelato in the known universe" award. This is the only time I've ever eaten a gelato and immediately ordered another one.

The best gelato we have tried in Florence! The shop is quite modern and easily the cleanest and most hygienic (all covered ice cream) we have seen whilst we have been here. The guy serving was really friendly, spoke good English and offered tasters before we picked our flavors. To top it off the ice cream was delicious and creamy.... More

I've been here in august and I was surprise of the good quality icecream they have: I loved their pistacchio, the best I've tried in my whole life. The girl serving was kind and helpful. If you happen to pass by, pay a visit i'm sure you'll not regret it.
