Gelateria dei Neri

Leaving the Uffizi puts a visitor between the Arno and Piazza della Signoria; Via dei Neri offers a natural continuation towards the Santa Croce district. At number 9/11R, Gelateria dei Neri is a walk-in gelato shop whose display turns the end of a museum visit into a short pause before moving on. Specialist guide GelatoMaps places the business here since 1989 but notes that it found no documented history of the owners: there is no need to invent a family saga to describe what is offered today.

Visitors mention pistachio and chocolate among their choices, along with changing combinations best checked at the counter. The shop is also known for generous servings and a shifting range, so a particular flavour cannot be promised in every season. Reach it along Via dei Neri without crossing the river from the Uffizi; the address is 9/11R and the phone number in venue listings is +39 055 210034. For day-specific details, use an updated listing or ask the shop directly.

Accounts repeatedly praise texture, variety and service that can move quickly despite queues. Others mention the crowds themselves or prefer less sweet flavours. That mix of views is more useful than calling it Florence’s “best”: this is a practical stop for gelato immediately after the museum and a walk towards Santa Croce. If your party needs a long sit-down, look at the available space first; otherwise, continue the walk with gelato and leave the Uffizi galleries behind at your own pace.
