Les meilleurs glaciers Florence - Firenze

Timetable

The aperitivo usually takes place between 6:30 and 9pm, before dinner. With friends or colleagues, it's an important ritual in the golden hours at the end of the day. As in France, most bars close around 2am on weekends. The peak is usually at aperitif time or during the dopo cena, just after dinner (for a digestif, for example!).

In the land of gelati, there's no time for ice cream: you can enjoy it all day long, whatever the season! But don't go looking for "Italian-style gelato" in Italy. Soft ice cream, invented in the 1930s, comes from the United States. Only in France, and nowhere else, is it called "Italian ice"!
