After our average dinner at Borgo Antico, we decided to treat ourselves for some good Italian pastries and tried Caffè Gilli, a cafe opened in 1733 by the Gilli family, that moved since then in different part of the city.

Caffè Gilli is a beautiful place that combines a patisserie and a tea room that had a very elegant decor.

Jodi decided to order a tea

While on my side I ordered a latte macchiato

For pastries, we went for:

the tiramisu (of course, we could not not have it Italy):

It was delicious, very creamy with a nice amount of coffee.

The baba:

Very good, the cake was perfect and there was a nice amount of rum in it.

The cannoli:

Although I liked the ricotta filling, it was a miss, the shell being soggy.

This was a good way to end the evening. If I were to go back to Florence, I would definitely go back Caffè Gilli and definitely recommend the latte macchiato that was divine, as well as the tiramisu or baba (anyway, they have plenty more pastries to try!).
