    Gelati at Caffe di SImo

    Posted by allisonw 16 June 2007

    After a few hours strolling around Lucca taking in the sights, nothing beats some proper gelati.

    The best place is Caffe di Simo in Via Filungo, undoubtedly the best gelati I've ever had, in wonderful fin-de-siècle ambience and with excellent coffee too.

    Pistachio was my favourite flavour.

    No, no, no and again no. Maybe O.K. inside but if you venture into the much-trumpeted 'garden' at the back you will find dying plants, cigarette butts everywhere, uncleared tables and, joy of joys, bags of rotting rubbish (to be fair, not necessarily from Caffe Simo but ... ) and a nasty toilet. Go to Pasticerria Tadeucci on Piazza San Michele instead. No ice-cream, I grant you, but wonderful coffee and the best ricciarelli around. Nicer place to people watch, too. Not cheap, however!
