Firenze Gelateria & Caffè
The best-sourced modern gelato counterpoint here: a named founder with a specific, checkable training credential, visible on-site production, and named ingredient provenance — the strongest evidence in this cohort that Delhi's newest layer is being made seriously rather than franchised in.
What to order
Belgian Cioccolato, named as the 'star dish' by Outlook Traveller's reviewer; Pistacchio Bronte and Amalfi Limone also named specifically
What we know
- Founder Parth Gupta travelled across Italy (Bologna, Milan, Venice, Rome, Florence) tasting and observing gelato technique before completing a seven-day masterclass at Carpigiani University in Bologna — a named, specific training credential, not a vague 'Italian-trained' claim
- Uses a sealed, airtight pozzetti display imported from Italy, described as 'one of the first of its kind in India,' with each batch churned and served visibly in front of guests — an explicit on-site production claim
- Ingredient provenance named specifically: Sicilian pistachios (Pistacchio Bronte), 55% dark Callebaut couverture and Belgian cocoa mass (Belgian Cioccolato), Indian espresso beans from Sakleshpur and Chikmagalur for the affogato
- 'Old Delhi's Fruit Cream,' a flavour the founder describes as inspired by his own childhood memory of Old Delhi's frozen fruit creams — a distinctive, city-specific flavour that ties the modern gelato scene back to the historic kulfi lanes
- Independently reviewed by two named food journalists within months of opening, both describing it as a step-change for Delhi's gelato scene rather than another chain outlet
