Gelaterias: Many in number but Few great in quality

Lets just put this out there: NOT ALL GELATERIA'S ARE CREATED EQUAL.

I've only been in Firenze for one week, had gelato about three times and lets just say that some places are significantly better than others.  BUT on a nicer note, the crappiest gelato I've had in Italy so far has been more delicious than the best gelato I've had back in the states.

The first place I went to was DELICIOUS!  The two places I went to after that have been mehhhh, enjoyable but not orgasmically great, just the kine where you take one picture and post to da Instagram. So yeah, not that great.
Gelato flavors: Caffe (coffe) and Buontalenti Al Mascarpone (cream-flavored?)

YUM c: 
The best gelato I've yet to have was from a place called Gelateria Santa Trinita.  This is the only place? one of the few places? that has the original gelato flavor: the Buontalenti Al Mascarpone.  This flavor is very similar to your typical cream flavored gelato but more richer.  I can't explain how delicious it was.  I'm usually not a creamy-flavor kind of person but this one is to die for.  The caffe flavor was amazing and is probably my favorite so far.  If you ever find yourself in Italy, I recommend that you go to Gelateria Santa Trinita and try their Buontalenti Al Mascarpone. c: YUM!
The other gelato places I've been to have been bleh so its not even worth mentioning here.
The next gelato place I want to try is called Grom.  Its been noted in every guide book I've read and I've been searching like crazy to find it all these streets in Italy look the same!
