The shop opened in 1938 with the sale of polenta and castagnaccio. A year later it began its activity as an artisan ice-cream parlour and by then it had already become one of the most renowned premises in Florence, for its ice creams and especially for its ‘semifreddi’.
In 1950, the shop underwent major internal changes; in particular, the walls were covered with onyx slabs that still adorn the premises today. With the same onyx, mosaic master Giovanni Fiaschi made a clock that has become the shop's symbol. The business was taken over in 1991 by Mrs Paola and her daughters Cecilia and Valentina, who rediscovered old and original recipes and began producing various flavours, paying particular attention to the quality of the ingredients.
Famous are the cooked cream, hazelnut, pistachio, Sicilian cassata and granita ice creams.
