Nestled in the charming Piazza Giuseppe Mazzini in Pratovecchio Stia, Bar Gelateria Cala Gogò is a true gem for ice cream lovers seeking an authentic Italian gelato experience. This delightful gelateria stands out not only for its exquisite range of flavors but also for its heartfelt dedication to local ingredients and traditional recipes that celebrate the essence of the Casentino region.
The menu at Cala Gogò is a journey through Italian artisanal gelato craftsmanship. Their Gelati della tradizione offers timeless favorites such as Pistacchio, crafted from pure pistachio paste or top-notch pistachios, and Nocciola made exclusively with IGP hazelnuts from Piemonte, delivering a rich and nutty palette. Chocolate lovers will savor the depth of their single-origin Cioccolato, boasting a powerful, velvety intensity, while the Crema classica enchants with its fresh egg yolks delicately infused with lemon and vanilla aromas. For a fresh and vibrant option, the fruit flavors spotlight seasonal local harvests, from succulent banana and strawberry to juicy peach and fragrant pear, providing a natural sweetness that dances on the palate.
What truly sets Cala Gogò apart is their innovative range of Gelati gusti speciali. These inspired creations include ricotta-based delights made from local cow’s milk ricotta blended with the rich flavors of goat and sheep cheeses, variegated with km0 fruits, figs, and walnuts. The “Casentino” gelato pays homage to its homeland with creamy goat ricotta and an unmistakable plum variegation that bursts with regional character. Seasonal chestnut gelato, crafted from nuts harvested in the nearby National Park, offers an earthy, warm sweetness that perfectly mirrors the autumnal landscape.
Beyond gelato, Bar Gelateria Cala Gogò caters to all tastes and seasons. From indulgent crêpes served from autumn through spring, to refreshing frozen yogurts crowned with fresh fruit and decadent nutella during summer months, the variety is as delightful as it is thoughtful.

The best gelato, anywhere. Whenever I have an icecream no matter where I am I wish I was here. The staff are witty lovely and speak great English. Prices are good, choices are plentiful and there are a few unusual ones day to day. The classic flavours are exceptional as are the dairy free options. Proper job.

Absolutely fantastic ice cream. Incredibly delicious. Maybe the best we've ever had in Italy. Very good prices. Friendly staff and the place is located in a cozy square where you can stroll around in peace and quiet with a tasty ice cream in your hand.

This quickly became our favourite spot in Stia. We came here everyday for new and delicious ice cream flavours, but also for the wonderful people who work here. I am trying to learn Italian and I found this shop to be one of the most helpful and encouraging with this! Always sharing tips on what to say and happy to wait for me to try and say something in Italian instead of English. This made me feel really welcomed, and then to leave with a delicious ice cream made it the best experience ever! Not to mention the yummy gin and tonics in the evenings… If you are driving past or staying in Stia, you should do yourself the favour of coming to Bar Gelateria Cala Gogò. It is a truly special place. I cannot recommend it enough! :)
