After leaving the Galleria dell'Accademia, we headed back south towards the Duomo, stopping at Gelateria Carabe on the way. I'd seen Carabe listed as one of Florence's best, so we figured why not give it a go and see if it stood up to Perche No! (Click HERE for the link to my Perche No! post). Plus, we had a coupon from their website Click HERE for a link to the free scoop upgrade coupon.
Now, it wasn't bad gelato by any means...and the owner was a really nice guy who spoke excellent English. But our hearts (and tongues) are still loyal to Perche No! So much so that I had to eat it one more time about an hour after we ate at Gelateria Carabe. Yuki was by this point convinced that something was wrong with me, seeing as that made gelato #3 of the day. And I didn't admit to him that I probably could've eaten more!
One more point about Gelateria Carabe: apparently their fruit granitas are rumored to be excellent, but we only tried the gelato. Maybe we'll give them a go again whenever we get back to Florence.
Gelateria Carabe, Via Ricasoli, 60r, a few blocks from the Galleria dell’Accademia (between the Duomo and Accademia).
Be careful not to miss it, as the shopfront is rather unassuming
