Located near one of the world’s most famous bridges, the Ponte Vecchio, our café’s name derives from the historic Arco delle Carrozze (Arch of the Coaches), much in use during the XVII – XIX centuries.
In 1990, after years of experience, Stefano, Lorenzo, and Silvia decided to fully dedicate themselves to their passion for artisanal gelato.
Twenty years later, they are continuing to embrace the art of authentic Florentine gelato, maintaining the tradition and quality of gelato “as it once was,” genuine and flavorful. 
For us, the art of gelato is a real passion.
After a meticulous search for genuine, high-quality products such as hazelnuts from Piemonte, pistachios from Bronte, the finest dark chocolate and the very best fruits and berries, and following traditional methods, we obtain a superior product, one capable of satisfying our dedicated clientele including the ever demanding tastes of the connoisseurs as well as of newly emerging palates.
While our work is rooted in an ancient art that is 100% Italian, we continue to take courses to update our professional skills in a field that has been in continuous evolution since the time of the Medici in Florence.
This passion and love for our trade propels us to continuous experimentation, always on the hunt for new flavors and flavor combinations.
