The story
Tucked into Piazza Gualfredotto da Milano, I Dolci di Massimo is a pastry shop that has earned a loyal following for its seasonal Carnival fritters. One local food creator, Sentieri Golosi, didn't mince words, calling these fritters "le migliori FRITTELLE di CARNEVALE di FIRENZE"—the best in the city.
The Frittelle di Carnevale here are notably light and airy, with a structure that holds up well. What sets them apart is a distinct boozy note; as the creator noted, they have a "noticeable alcohol note," making them a treat for those who appreciate that kick, though less suited for anyone who prefers their desserts without it. It’s a bold, celebratory bite that captures the spirit of the season.

AI summary of what 1 dish mentions say about the food
At I Dolci di Massimo, the Frittelle di carnevale steals the show with its airy, festive sweetness. Reviewers praise the warm, indulgent vibe that makes every bite feel like a celebration.
“These fritters are good, light, not super sweet. In terms of size, we are back to a slightly larger size. Very light, not greasy, a bit in the cloud version like Minni's. You can taste the alcohol a bit, it's not exaggerated but the alcohol is the slightly more predominant aromatic part. I don't really like alcohol in desserts so it's a personal opinion. The structure is very light and nice empty inside. Cost 38 euros per kg.”
