"UBE" has arrived in Italy! The ube( purple yam) was refreshing and not too strong in flavor. If you want to get your steps in from the Duomo and have some delicious gelato, this is the place!

Stumbling upon Sangelato was definitely one of the best things to happen on my family trip. The selection was enough for everyone in my family and the owner was the kindest I’ve met in the city. If you’re reading this review, Sangelato is a wonderful place to visit and get ready for a great experience. If I have the chance to return to Firenze, Sangelato will be my first stop! Oh and obviously the best gelato in Firenze lol. The pistachio (both choices) mango and limon are actually crazy.

Amazing ice cream. All the flavors we tried were so delicious and deep. And the prices are more than reasonable: 3 euros for 3 scoops. Don’t miss it

We found this ice cream shop during our trip in Firenze. It was a lovely surprise because we found out they had ube flavor. My parents were so happy because we are from the Philippines :) The ice cream was delicious and a great deal!
