Ice Cream Cones for 12€
If you go into a gelateria and order an ice cream cone be sure to ask the price first. The cups are usually marked, but not the cones. I was about to buy a bottle of water in Perseo on Piazza Signoria when i heard the cashier tell the guy next to me that it was 24€ for two ice cream cones. I think the poor guy almost dropped them on the floor. Who would have ever believed that you can pay as much for an ice cream cone as a complete lunch at a tourist restaurant. Needless to say, I put the water back.
