Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

The best ice cream we had during our stay. Even better than the ones we had in Lucca. I highly recommend the Dulce latte and the hazelnut

After trying many gelaterias in Tuscany, this was definitely one of the best! Great for gluten-free options too.

Stayed in Montecatini Terme for 5 nights and visited Desideri most evenings and after coming home from our holiday in Italy I really miss Desideri! Especially the "Desideri" icecream is nice :-)

Best icecream we had during our trip to Tuscany. A lot of different flavors (changed daily), icecream not to soft and the staff was so friendly!

I had their gelato every day and probably gained at least 5 pounds from it! Couldn't eat the small size but always got two flavors because it was so incredibly delicious. The people there are so nice and the product is excellent!

My mother and I walked in after dinner to enjoy some gelato and we each asked for a sample of something then my mom asked for another sample and the guy goes you can’t try them all!! We were humiliated! We felt like he was...yelling at us and treating us like we weren’t paying customers. Never have I ever encountered someone at a gelato place getting angry at us over samples! Typically places are more then willing to let you sample! I’ll never return back here again in fear that guy will be working there again! We came with a group of 50 other people and will be staying right near this place for a week and will be letting each one know to not return as well. We’ll spend our money where we are appreciated!More

The gelato was smooth and creamy. Great flavors. The helpings were a little smaller than at some other shops we visited in Italy, but the taste was sublime.

When you are walking in temperatures above 36 degrees and you spy an ice cream parlour, you would stop anyway. When the gelato ends up being as delicious as here, you have to tell everyone. The cherry, lime-ginger and banana were great. The strawberry and...orange were just divine and thirst quenching at the same time. Magnifico!!More

Had the best gelato here especially the banana. Came twice in one day for the banana. Upon leaving the second time the lovely lady behind the counter asked me if I was coming back tomorrow she would make it again which she did. Gracie tanto

No matter where we travel my wife always enjoys a gelato in the afternoon. I think my wife has tasted just about every flavor of gelato that is made. The gelato is as good as any shop going north or south in Italy
