When I searched for gelato in Pisa, a couple of names kept coming up over and over again, and one of those names was Gelateria de’Coltelli. When I arrived, I looked at all of the different flavors that they had to offer and after being stuffed with spoonful after spoonful of samples from the girl behind the counter, I settled on a mixture of pistachio and vanilla, which she informed me was completely natural. She went on to tell me that all of the flavors of gelato that they served were all natural, unlike many Italian gelaterias, and that the majority of the products were locally sourced.

Gelateria De’ Coltelli is where locals go for gelato, in Pisa. The De’ Coltelli family is widely perceived as the inventor of modern ice-cream in the 17th century. With centuries of tradition to uphold, Gelateria De’ Coltelli takes its gelato-making duties very seriously, by using only fresh seasonal fruit and raw, natural ingredients, from the surrounding region, to create their heavenly hand-crafted gelato.

All flavors and all cones are 100% gluten-free, including granitas, milkshakes, fruit and vegan flavours. The only ice cream containing gluten is closed in a small refrigerator separate from the counter (these are ice cream biscuits, and are clearly indicated by an ear of corn on the blackboard). Therefore the place is safe and suitable for celiacs, and has been part of the Aic circuit for years.

Il gelato è un altro prodotto fondamentale della cultura del Bel Paese e questa popolare gelateria è in assoluto una delle preferite dai pisani, in cui anche voi potrete rinfrescarvi con un ottimo gelato artigianale: i gusti particolari e per ogni stagione, gli ingredienti di qualità e la cordialità del personale sono i tre punti forti di questa meta imperdibile.

La Gelateria De’ Coltelli, che prende il nome da Francesco Procopio De’ Coltelli, l’inventore del gelato moderno, è situata sul suggestivo Lungarno Pacinotti. Si distingue per l’utilizzo di ingredienti naturali e biologici, fibre vegetali e prodotti stagionali e locali. Oltre ai classici, offre gusti più particolari come guava, liquirizia calabrese e sale nero o Drago e lime.

They make a few flavours of gelato and frozen yogurt, as well as ice cream sandwiches and sundaes. You can never go wrong with chocolate or vanilla, but I recommend trying some of the more unusual flavours like peach, pineapple or sheep milk yogurt. You’ll be short on sitting space there, but fear not- the place is conveniently situated right on the riverbank.
