Gelato is the Italian word for ice cream, derived from the Latin word "gelatus" (meaning frozen). In English this word commonly refers to varieties of ice cream made in a traditional Italian style. The gelato is usually made with milk, cream, various sugars, and flavouring such as chocolate, fresh fruit and nut purees. It is generally lower in calories, fat and sugar than industrial-made, supermarket ice cream.
As the name suggests, the Cioccolato & Company shop sells not only ice crème but also excellent chocolates and
absolutely delicious cakes.
Voted one of the 10 best ice-cream places in Tuscany.

Two of the main advantages of Bottega del Gelato are the long opening hours,
usually until midnight, and that they remain open during the siesta.
They also sell fruits, such as oranges and lemons, filled with gelato, and serve an excellent coffee.

Among the best but most inexpensive gelateria in Montecatini, their smallest cone is sold at 1€.
Worthy of mentioning is also their home made cones made of rice flour (hence gluten free).

Bargilli is of course best known for their "Chialdi di
Montecatini" wafers. A typical sweet specialty from Montecatini Terme
dating back to the beginning of 1900.
The round and very fragile almonds and sugar flavoured pastry
wafers are traditionally consumed to ice cream, tea, hot chocolate or Vin Santo (from Villa Stabbia of course).
The ice cream served by Bargili, that the Chialdi normally accompany, comes
highly recommended.
